There is little doubt that people have high expectations for the upcoming adaptation of Dune. After all, the movie boasts of an all-star cast as well as one of the most talented directors in the business. Luckily, the film's first trailer confirms that it will not disappoint fans of Frank Herbert's works. Now we have a closer look at the concept art of the massive ships arriving in Arrakis.
The concept art was unveiled in Twitter's premiere event video where the cast and crew were interviewed. Check it out below.
It's amazing how different the film looks from David Lynch's adaptation but also understandable considering that it was made with advanced technology. Interestingly, everything about it also features that distinctive Villeneuve touch so there is little doubt that 2020's Dune is going to be a visual masterpiece. Let's just hope that it also manages to give justice to the books' sprawling storyline and compelling characters.
The synopsis for Dune reads as follows:
"A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive."
Dune is scheduled to premiere on December 18.
