This past weekend, HBO Max uploaded the Dune: Prophecy trailer onto its official YouTube page. In the short trailer, we get a look at the world that the Dune films are set in, 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), as a gathering of Harkonnen women plot to establish a new covenant known as the Bene Gesserit.
While Dune: Prophecy has yet to receive a firm release date, it has been confirmed to arrive exclusively on HBO Max sometime this Fall.
Dune: Prophecy serves as a prequel series to the Denis Villeneuve films, and is based on the novel Sisterhood Of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
In a four-star review of Dune: Part Two, NME wrote: “As with the first movie, Part Two proves a pulse-poundingly immersive experience, courtesy of cinematographer Greig Fraser’s stunning visuals, production designer Patrice Vermette’s wildly imaginative sets and some inspired sound design work. This is particularly evident during the film’s exciting central set piece, when Paul has to prove himself by riding a giant sandworm, a punch-the-air moment that was teased in the first part and pays off wonderfully here.”
A third Villeneuve–led Dune film is in the works, and will adapt the second of Frank Herbert’s Dune novels, Dune Messiah. A release date has not been announced.
