Surprising absolutely nobody, we’ve learned today that Denis Villeneuve‘s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune will not be releasing in theaters this December, as planned.
Instead, Collider notes, Dune will now release on October 1, 2021. Warner Bros. and Legendary had up until this week been sticking to their December 18, 2020 release plan.
At this point it’s become pretty clear to studios, theater chains and audiences alike that the rest of 2020 is a wash on the theatrical front. So expect no more big releases this year.
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
The cast includes Timothée Chalamet‘s Paul Atreides, Josh Brolin‘s Gurney Halleck, Oscar Isaac‘s Duke Leto, Rebecca Ferguson‘s Lady Jessica, Javier Bardem‘s Stilgar, Zendaya‘s Chani, Sharon Duncan-Brewster‘s Liet-Kynes and Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho.
Villeneuve directed Dune from a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts.
