Warner Bros. is releasing a special Dune: Part Two preview – and you’ll only be able to watch it in a specific format.
And Warner Bros. is about to deliver – but some folks will almost certainly miss out on seeing it.
There’s only one way to see the new Dune: Part Two preview
That’s becausethe new Dune: Part Two preview is an exclusive bonus included with Dune: Part One’s upcoming IMAX re-release. These screenings will all take place on a single day, January 24, at select IMAX venues. So, if you can’t get to a participating theater on that day, you’re out of luck.
#DuneMoviereturns exclusively to IMAX for ONE NIGHT ONLY on January 24. Experience Denis Villeneuve’s film the way it was meant to be seen. This special event also includes a sneak peek at#DunePartTwo. Get tickets now!https://t.co/CRhJbh6oxA#FilmedForImaxpic.twitter.com/QiQjWhtS3r
Predictably, the limited availability of the Dune: Part Two preview left some franchise devotees as fired up as Fremen.
“Thrilled to see it again!” wroteone X user. “But I think it’s cruel to only offer it for only one day at only the truly IMAX theatres.” “Rerelease it to every IMAX, don’t do this to us,” pleadeda second. “Is this a joke post?” demandeda third. “Not a single IMAX in my country is showing it.”
Reactions like these reflect the passion ofthe Dune fanbase, whose members responded with similar fervor to Dune: Part Two’s delay. Some even piggybacked off a social media gag, pretending they were behind a fictional lawsuit over the Dune sequel’s setback.
Villeneuve doesn’t seem bothered by fans’ borderline fanaticism over the Dune franchise, though. On the contrary, the Canadian filmmaker is keen to return to Arrakis for a third Dune installment.
He’s even working onthe Dune 3 screenplay– based on Herbert’s second tome, Dune Messiah – despite Warner Bros. not officially greenlighting the project yet.
