By Tickets have gone on sale for Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two” just a few weeks out from the film’s release in cinemas on March 1st.
The 166-minute film has begun its near-release marketing in earnest with posters and TV spots popping up all over the place, some of which are included below.
However one piece of tie-in marketing is already drawing a lot of attention – a popcorn bucket for the film which has a molded sandworm maw for a lid. Photos of that item arrived on Twitter and led to plenty of gags over the past day or so regarding what it resembles.
The sprawling tale adapts the back half of Frank Herbert’s classic 1965 novel. The story sees Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) teaming with the desert-dwelling Fremen to liberate the planet of Arrakis from the vicious House Harkonnen.
Zendaya, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Stellan Skarsgard, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem all reprise their roles from the first film.
They are joined by Austin Butler as the lethal Feyd-Rautha, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Lea Seydoux as Lady Margot. Tim Blake Nelson also has a role. Villeneuve is directing from a script he co-wrote with Jon Spaihts/
“Dune: Part Two” premieres in cinemas on March 1st.
