Dune has already been delayed by quite a bit. Originally slated to arrive on December 18th, 2020, the film was punted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since we’ve got more waiting to do, we can at least pass the time by revisiting the synopsis for Villeneuve’s Dune below.
Synopsis:
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.
