Yup :
That’s him.
It’s a heck of a trailer, to be honest. Paul walking through the crowd with his hood on looks like a vision of the future, when he is “the prophet” or whatever.
I enjoyed the first, and this new trailer has me feeling pretty confident I’ll enjoy the second, too.
Looking forward to this as I never read the book(s). For as much as I enjoyed the first one it really did feel unfinished.
Thinking and hoping I’ll really like it as a complete two part story.
You will. Almost all the best stuff is after Paul and Mom go to the desert, which is how movie 1 ended.
OK, so I checked out a copy of the new Dune from the library to watch it again. I have less criticism now than the first time around. But some still applies. There’s more exposition than I had originally remembered. It’s more subtly placed than Lynch’s old-school just-state-it-plainly style, but it’s there. But there’s still not enough of it.
I still found that despite Villeneuves beautiful imagery and production design, it sometimes dragged.
That was great, but this Lego ornithopter appears to be for real. The flying Baron Harkonnen minifig with the giant robes is pretty impressive.
Sure is!
Trailer #3:
One of the few movies I will see in the theatre in 2034.

Whatever you might think about how the story is being adapted, the sense of sheer scale is (chef kiss).
There’s no reason you should wait that long.
Whoops, meant 2024 – probably not release weekend, but soon after.

Dune Messiah has been greenlit for a 2027 release.
I’m skeptical — not about the probability of it happening, but that it’s already official. That’s a movie clickbait site, not a legit news outlet, and its only citation is to Jeff Sneider who is a notoriously unreliable rumormonger (and also an asshole who hasn’t been a true insider since he was fired from Variety for unprofessional behavior ten years ago).
Officially we know that Villeneuve finished the screenplay, but I don’t think WB is likely to greenlight the third film (which has a specific technical meaning in the film biz) until the second one opens and they see what the box office looks like. That’s especially true right now because the studio is in a lot of turmoil (which will doubtless continue as long as the same moron is in charge).
When the greenlight announcement appears in Deadline or Variety or some other mainstream source, then we can take it to the bank. Until then, caution is advised.
Plus calling it the ‘trilogy capper’ makes me think the writer doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
Villeneuve has said more than once that if he gets another shot past the second movie, he just wants to adapt Messiah and then be done. He doesn’t see much value in adapting Children and then God Emperor is probably too weird for audiences.
So when they say trilogy, they aren’t making a mistake about the books, they’re referring to the movie trilogy Villeneuve wants to make.
So, it seems that I don’t know what I’m talking about, ignorance fought.
No worries. I follow the ugly sausage-making of the entertainment industry a lot more closely than is probably sane or healthy. 
No shame in being a casual observer and missing some details.
This is the same industry that made The Hobbit into a trilogy.
