Warner Bros. and Legendary Films announced the release date for the highly anticipated Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune. According to Variety, the reboot will premiere in theaters on November 20, 2020, in 3D and IMAX.
Based on the novel by Frank Herbert, Dune is the story of a battle for power of the one element that controls the entire universe, the Spice. The noble family of House Atreides is sent to the desert planet Arrakis to oversee Spice production. The Emperor Shaddam IV and rival family House Harkonnen betray the Atreides family, destroying their house and leaving them for dead.
