Following the first wave of (mostly very positive) reviews for Denis Villeneuve's Dune, Warner Bros. has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette which spotlights the various main characters and warring houses of the upcoming sci-fi epic.
The 4:30 video includes interviews with the likes of Timothée Chalamet (Paul Atreides), Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica), Zendaya (Chani), and Javier Bardem (Stilgar), as well as some intriguing - not to mention visually stunning - new footage. The villainous Harkonnens haven't really been highlighted as much as the more heroic characters up until now, but we see quite a bit of 'em here while gaining a better idea of the Baron's machinations.
If you've read Frank Herbert's novel, you may actually spot a few spoiler-y shots here, but they probably won't stand out if you're unfamiliar with the source material.
Check out the "Royal Houses" featurette below, along with a new Dolby Cinema poster featuring Paul traversing the perilous desert of Arrakis.
Dune follows the Atreides family as they relocate to the desolate planet of Arrakis to assume control of the production of the most valuable resource in the galaxy, the Spice Melange. Unfortunately, an act of treachery soon makes an outcast of The Duke Atreides' youngest son Paul, and he must accept his destiny as a powerful prophet of the Arrakis natives known as The Fremen.
Tell us, do you plan on seeing Dune on the big screen when it releases on October 22?
