So the current speculation seems to be that the trailer is coming Wednesday. With Legendary now releasing the Enola Holmes trailer tomorrow (announced below), it's unlikely they release the Dune trailer tomorrow as well. So the thought is, maybe we get a poster on Tuesday, followed by the trailer on Wednesday. Seeing as Tenet opens Wednesday internationally, if the Dune trailer is playing with it (which is all but guaranteed at this point), surely/hopefully they'd release it online before then, which would put it Wednesday morning stateside at the latest, but we'll have to see...

I don't know how/if this would affect the online release of the trailer, but it might not be in theaters worldwide until Monday...

Just to reiterate...

- A 1m 37s teaser trailer will play exclusively in both international and domestic theaters with Tenet beginning Monday, August 31st. This is essentially a "preview" trailer, announcing...

- A full-length trailer (likely two-and-half minutes or more) that will debut online Wednesday, September 9, two weeks from today.

However, I'm sure bootlegs of the teaser trailer will begin popping up online any time now, as certain theaters already have it (as the stills above are already starting to make the rounds), but have been asked to refrain from showing it publicly until next week.

Also, here's a detailed description of the theater-exclusive teaser trailer...

Quote:

It opens with gorgeous, custom WB and Legendary logos that fit the gold and black aesthetic the marketing material has shown so far. Then, it hops right into an iconic scene fans of the novel will immediately recognize: the Gom Jabbar test. This scene takes place early in the novel and is the focal point of this teaser.

Before traveling to Arrakis, Paul Atreides (Timothe Chalamet) is introduced to the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam (Charlotte Rampling). She asks Paul to place his hand inside a box that causes Paul to feel excruciating pain without physically harming him. The catch? He'll die if he removes his hand. The Gom Jabbar is a lethal poisonous needle that Mohiam wears on her finger and presses against Paul's neck during this test of his humanity, awarenesses and animal instincts. You'll discover the reason for this test during his journey.

This is nothing short of stunning from a visual perspective. The set that Chalamet and Rampling sit in is enormous and circular, with beautifully ornate carvings in the walls and floor. Sunlight beams through a skylight, and the two characters are centered in the room. The Reverend Mother is wearing a complex gown. It's almost terrifying how the black, netted material drapes over her entire body, from head to toe. She speaks with a taunting, almost mechanical voice, explaining the test to Paul the poor boy is clearly in over his head.

As the test plays out and his fear and pain increases, the footage is intercut with a sweeping shot of Arrakis' deep desert, with dunes as far as the eye can see. It's exactly how you would imagine it. They're bright yellow, and you can feel the sun through the screen. We also get quick, big shots of almost every cast member, making their faces obvious to viewers.

We see the door open on an aircraft and the Atreides men stand in their armor as the Arrakis sun shines on them. Oscar Isaac looks absolutely regal and badass as Duke Leto Atreides. Rebecca Ferguson is hooded and smiling as Lady Jessica, and Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) makes a quick appearance wearing a stillsuit. We also see Javier Bardem's Stilgar remove his face mask to speak to someone and Zendaya's Chani climbing over rocks with a group of Fremen.

Some quick shots also include an ornithopter touching down in the desert and Paul stepping off. We also see Chang Chen as Dr. Wellington Yueh, Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Liet-Kynes and our first look at "Beast" Glossu Rabban Harkonnen, played by Dave Bautista. He looks almost painted white or covered in dust. There is also the quickest glimpse of a large character's head emerging from a huge tub full of a liquid that had a similar color to Rabban's skin. This character seemed to be Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgrd), and it was a perfectly grotesque moment.

Throughout the teaser, the intensity of Paul's test builds and builds with each new cast member who is introduced, finally culminating with an epic closeup of Paul in the desert in a stillsuit, walking among Fremen. The score really comes in as the title reveals itself, and I am almost certain this is a piece from Hans Zimmer himself. It sounded like a cross between "Blade Runner" and "The Lion King," with a good amount of drums mixed in with some ethereal, synth vibes. It perfectly fits "Dune."

The teaser finishes with the title reveal, followed by a stacked list of every cast member that fills the screen from top to bottom, and a stamp that says "FILMED IN IMAX." This film wasn't captured with IMAX cameras, so this could mean they're going the "Top Gun: Maverick" route of having their digital cameras certified by IMAX themselves. I'd expect expanded aspect ratios for at least part of the film, if not the entire film, when you eventually see it in IMAX. The images themselves look unbelievably crisp and almost surreal in a way that's hard to put my finger on. I don't know what exactly Villeneuve and cinematographer Greig Fraser did here anamorphic lenses might've done the trick but if these simple character shots look this good, I can't wait to see the big and complex stuff.

It will be interesting to watch him in this..I out really know him from the roles where he plays a sympathetic/comedic killer and blade runner.

Seeing him as someone as evil as Rabban will be interesting

Lynch had some great visual things. This iteration has to steer clear of them, I think.

ok, cool. i wasn't sure if i'd missed it getting moved, but the first footage only coming out like 3-ish months before release seems super late for the way things are done nowadays.

Thanks

All due to Covid. WB wanted to wait until theaters were open to release the trailer, and I'm sure the plan has always been to attach a trailer to Tenet regardless. That said, I'll be surprised if the trailer actually says "December." Seems the current fad is to simply say "In Theaters" in order to leave some wiggle room in case they decide to move it to 2021 for whatever reason. The next couple of weeks will be telling, though. If audiences show up to theaters, and movies/theaters actually start to make decent again money, I doubt we see anymore big release date shifts.

are you seeing TENET next week?
TCTTS
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Apparently, I can't. Theaters here still aren't open. The go-to drive-in just outside of LA has it listed as coming soon, though, and if so, I'll do that, but according to WB, they're not showing Tenet at drive-ins in cities/states where theaters aren't yet open. So I don't know what's going on...

Get it while it's hot!

Basically the Gom Jabbar set up ( not the finish) with a lot of stills we have seen. plus what I think was an Ornithopter.
