This year has majorly sucked, but despite all the awfulness that has been happening, there's something many film nerds have been looking forward to ever since it was announced: Denis Villeneuve's highly-anticipated sci-fi film Dune! With only a few months left until it's planned December release, Warner Bros. just released the first trailer for the film, and while there's a lot going on, we can't keep our eyes off of our two faves—Call Me by Your Name star and twink king Timothée Chalamet and Emmy-nominated Euphoria actress and suit queen Zendaya—finally getting to star together in a big-budget project!
"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," reads the film's official description. "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."
Besides our king and queen Timothée and Zendaya, Dune also has an incredibly star-studded lineup that includes Oscar Isaac (as Timmy's daddy), Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, David Dastmalchian, Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.
How they got so much excellence into one film, we'll never know, but hey, we're definitely NOT complaining!!
Watch the first trailer for Dune below! Dune is slated to be released in theaters on December 18, 2020!
