Trailer watch: Timothee Chalamet takes on bald Austin Butler in Dune: Part Two

Prepare to visit Arrakis again in November. 

Timothée Chalamet — and his amazing head of hair — is back on Arrakis in Dune: Part Two.

In the just-released trailer for the sequel to the 2021 sci-fi spectacle, based on Frank Herbert’s novel, Chalament returns as Paul Atreides, and this time he leads the Fremen to take on the House Harkonnen for control of the sandy planet of Arrakis.

The trailer shows a scene where Paul rides a gigantic sandworm to battle — definitely, a moment that begs to be seen on the biggest screen possible. 

New to the Arrakis fracas (catchy) are Léa Seydoux’s Lady Margot, a Bene Gesserit, Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulen, the daughter of Christopher Walken’s Emperor Shaddam IV, and a chrome-domed Austin Butler as Feyd Rautha Harkonnen, the nephew of Stellan Skarsgard’s Baron Harkonnen. (Fans of David Lynch’s Dune should remember Feyd was played by Sting — wearing, er, a codpiece.)

Denis Villeneuve is again the director, with returning cast members Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, and Stephen McKinley Henderson.

Part Two is more action-packed, epic war, much more bulk, and much more dance, said Villeneuve (via Indiewire) at last month’s CinemaCon in Vegas. He also pointed out that the sequel was shot entirely in IMAX, compared to just 40 percent of the original film.

The first Dune earned 10 Oscar nominations and won six, including Best Visual Effects and Original Score.

Dune: Part Two opens in cinemas on Nov 2. Watch the trailer here:
