‘Dune’ focuses on the story of Paul Atreides, the young heir to House Atreides whose father gets assigned by Shaddam IV, the Emperor, to govern the planet Arrakis, a desert world with a crucial commodity called Melange. With the spread of humans, noble houses are formed, with each governing a planetary system. In the novel, humanity becomes so advanced that it spreads across the known universe. ‘Dune’ is a literary piece of science fiction that tells the story of humanity thousands of years into the future. Frank Herbert’s intentional lack of focus on the technology and more on the characters and how they interacted with the story makes ‘ Dune‘ even better. This sneak peek is merely a tease to rouse one's appetite for the followup chapter of the 'Dune' saga and acts as a vehicle to reacquaint audiences with the overall situation between the brutal Harkonnen clan after the tragic fall of House Atreides and the planet-altering holy war to come.Known for its accurate description of events, ‘Dune’s’ storytelling style has almost no rivals. Still, despite having no particular through-line or thematic cohesion, it's only the first of many 'Dune' trailers to come before its fall release that will certainly target more of the plot and character arcs. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee. 'Dune: Part Two' will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Nothing fancy.' And coincidentally that might also be the best description of this initial ho-hum trailer. Paul later plants a thumper tool to entice a monster worm, while Fremen chieftain Stilgar (Javier Bardem) instructs the fledgling messiah on sandworm riding techniques by offering the advice, 'Be simple. Be direct.

Stellan Skarsgard's behemoth Baron Harkonnen makes a quick appearance, as does the mystical Water of Life, a bald-headed Austin Butler as the fierce Feyd-Rautha, Zendaya's Chani whispering romantic secrets, Dave Bautista's hulking Rabban, Josh Brolin's brooding Gurney Halleck, and Florence Pugh playing Princess Irulan.
