The trailer begins as Chalamet’s Paul sees Zendaya’s Chani in his dreams. She is a beauty with bright blue eyes who lives on Arrakis.

He is not sure what to make of the dreams and asks Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho what he should think of it.

Duncan tells the young man that dreams don’t count, it is what happens in the waking hours that is important.

The studio also released a brief trailer preview on Wednesday, featuring brief shots of several characters including Duke Leto, the father of Chalamet’s Paul, who offers a powerful message to his son.

‘My son, a great man doesn’t seek to lead, he’s called to it,’ Duke Leto says to his son Paul.

The movie is an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s beloved 1965 novel of the same name, which is believed to be the world’s best-selling science fiction novel.

The story is set in a far-distant future in the midst of several civilizations spread across the galaxy, centering on one family in particular, the Atreides family.

The family, lead by Duke Leto Atreides, becomes the new stewards for the dangerous desert planet Arrakis.

While the desert planet is sparsely populated and filled with deadly creatures (as teased in the preview above), it is also quite important.

Arrakis is the only source of ‘melange,’ which extends ones life and greatly enhances mental capacities, and is a necessity for space travel and navigation. 

There was a previous adaptation of the book in 1970 by filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, though it never got off the ground.

The filmmaker’s attempt to bring this ambitious novel to live was chronicled in the 2013 documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune.

Director David Lynch adapted the book in the 1984 movie Dune, which was poorly received, starring Kyle MacLachlan, Patrick Stewart, Sting and Jurgen Prochnow.

The book was also adapted in a 2000 Sci-Fi Channel mini-series dubbed Frank Herbert’s Dune, and its sequel, 2003’s Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune, which combined the author’s sequel novels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.

Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) directs this adaptation of Dune, which is slated for release in theaters and on HBO Max on October 22.
