Brazil held its annual CCXP (think San Diego Comic Con-big) at the end of November / December. The con is one of the big events where studios decamp to release a whole bunch of trailers for upcoming films and bring out their casts to talk about those upcoming projects. 

One of the films in this year's lineup was *Dune: Part Two*, and it seems like it was something of a larger promotional kickoff for the upcoming film: director Denis Villeneuve recently noted that he's been working on a third film based on [Frank Herbert's novel *Dune: Messiah*](https://www.andrewliptak.com/dune-messiah-frank-herbert-folio-society/)(the second book in the series), and today, we got a new big trailer for the film. 

Already, we've seen [two](https://www.andrewliptak.com/dune-part-2-trailer-watch/) [trailers](https://www.andrewliptak.com/dune-part-two-trailer-watch/) for **Dune: Part 2*. 

Villeneuve [recently noted](https://www.gamesradar.com/dune-2-action-movie-more-than-part-1-denis-villeneuve/?ref=andrewliptak.com) that this second film is "more of an action film than the first part. It’s more muscular," and judging from this new trailer, that's something of an understatement. When I re-read *Dune* over the last couple of years (I finished it in January), I realized how neatly it falls into two parts, and that second half of the book is a huge buildup as Paul and his new Fremen allies take the fight to the Harkonnens after they butchered his family and retook Arrakis for themselves. 

There's a lot packed into this trailer: Paul's awakening to his psychic powers, the buildup of that coming war, the political maneuverings from the Emperor: there's a reason why Villeneuve and Warner Bros. split this adaptation into two parts, and I have a feeling that taken together, these two films will really do the novel justice. 

The film drops March 1st: I'll definitely be in line for it when the time comes.
