Only one day after the Academy Awards, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures showed a select audience the first trailer for “Dune: Part Three,” the final entry in what’s become an Oscar-friendly franchise. On Tuesday morning WBD unleashed the teaser trailer online for the rest of the world to see.

“It’s a trailer launch? It looks like a premiere,” Denis Villeneuve joked after introducing the stars of “Dune Part Three” to an AMC theater full of journalists, film critics, bloggers and creators in Los Angeles on the Monday after the Oscars.
Returning “Dune” stars Zendaya and Javier Bardem, as well as franchise newbies Anya Taylor-Joy (her cameo in “Part Two” notwithstanding) and Robert Pattinson, joined Villeneuve to preview the epic conclusion to his sci-fi film trilogy.
“I’m so excited,” Zendaya, who plays Fremen warrior Chani, said after confirming she’d already seen the footage that was about to roll on screen. “These movies have meant so much to me over the years. I’ve literally been able to grow up in my entire 20s doing them, and so they have such a special place in my heart.”
Timothée Chalamet, who plays the series’ central character Paul Atreides, didn’t attend in person, but instead introduced the special event via video message.
“This film would not exist without the master of cinema, the great artist that is Denis Villeneuve,” Chalamet said in the recording. “Denis always says, ‘Vive le cinéma.’ And with this third film, I think he has done just that: a true act of cinema. I’m not alone in saying thank you to Denis for his dedication in bringing the ‘Dune’ films to life — and now the ‘Dune’ trilogy to life.”
After filming the first two parts in rapid succession, Villeneuve had planned to make another totally separate film before heading back to Arrakis, but the response to the second movie changed his mind.
