It was all but inevitable after Dune made a ton of money at the box office that a sequel was bound to happen. After what feels like an eternity of waiting, the first trailer for the highly anticipated second part of Denis Villeneuve’s ambitious adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi magnum opus has finally dropped, and it’s safe to say that fans of the franchise are absolutely ecstatic. That first look gave us a tease of Villeneuve’s trademark breathtaking visuals, as well as a glimpse of Timotheé Chalamet's first sandworm ride. Devotees of the series can’t get over how amazing Dune: Part 2 looks. And honestly, they’re not wrong.
What we know about Dune: Part Two is that it will pick up from the ending of the first Dune, with young hero Paul Atreides (Chalamet) continuing his journey to becoming the savior of the desert planet Arrakis. From the vast deserts to the towering cities, every frame of the first look is filled with detail and atmosphere. It’s clear that no expense has been spared in continuing to bring the world of Dune to life, and Twitter is a buzz, with one user taking stock of the collective feelings of “Dune Nation.” And based on the nearly 9K likes and 1500 retweets, fans seem to approve. You can see the user’s post and hilarious Office-inspired meme.
