A new trailer for Dune Part 2 has been released and shows off an austere, black and white, Bergman-esque aesthetic that’s a real departure from the first film.
The trailer showed Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides looking out over a desolate field behind a ruined farmhouse whilst an old man sobs quietly in the corner.
The whole trailer is filmed in a stark black and white and soundtracked by a solitary mournful violin.
“I was pretty pleased with the first film,” said director Denis Villeneuve.
“But if there was on complaint that I heard over and over again from fans of the books, it’s that they would like to have seen a more thoughtful meditation of the nature of mortality and existence.
“So, we’ve really tried to inject that Bergman-esque vibe into the second part.”
It is thought that the trailer is showcasing a scene from the opening scene that sees Paul having a long talk to an old man who’s recently lost his wife and sees only futility and sorrow in his remaining years.
“We’re pretty excited about this new direction,” confirmed Villeneuve.
“We open with a beautiful 5-minute shot of a crow picking at the rotting carcass of a cat whilst in the distance someone occasionally screams. It really sets the tone for the rest of the picture.”
Dune: The Emptiness at the Heart of all Men will debut in March.
