With Dunesday nearly upon us, Warner Bros. has brought both Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two back to IMAX theaters for one week only. Along with the re-release comes an extended look at a major action sequence from the upcoming Dune: Part Three, plus a new trailer packed with never-before-seen footage from the highly anticipated finale.
While we won't embed the footage here directly, you can watch the full nine-minute preview over on Reddit.
Considering the first film received a controversial simultaneous release in theaters and on HBO Max back in 2021, this limited run will likely be the first time many fans get to experience the franchise opener in IMAX. Screenings continue through Wednesday, so grab your tickets ASAP if you want an advanced preview of what's shaping up to be Denis Villeneuve's magnum opus.
The film stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (Dune; Marty Supreme), Zendaya (Spider-Man: Brand New Day; Dune), Jason Momoa (Aquaman; Supergirl), Oscar nominee Florence Pugh (Black Widow; Thunderbolts*), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout; Dune), Isaach de Bankolé (Black Panther; Casino Royale), Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (Dune; Assassin's Creed), Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga; The New Mutants), Robert Pattinson (The Batman; Tenet), Oscar winner Javier Bardem (Skyfall; No Country for Old Men), Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame; Deadpool 2), Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, and Ida Brooke (Silo; The Primrose Railway Children).
Denis Villeneuve directed the threequel from a screenplay he co-wrote with Brian K. Vaughan. This marks his final entry in the Dune saga, as he now shifts gears to the 007 franchise after being tapped to helm James Bond 26 for Amazon MGM Studios. Whether or not one of his Dune stars joins him, however, remains to be seen.
