Denis Villeneuves Dune was among the huge 2020 motion pictures that saw its release date postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. After being transferred to October 1st, Dunes release has actually been pressed back yet again, this time to October 22nd, Variety reports. The relocation was one of a number of releases Warner Bros. rescheduled, with the Clint Eastwood-directed Cry Macho transferred to September 17th, and The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel to The Sopranos, relocated to October 1st.
The adjustment of the 1965 Frank Herbert sci-fi classic has an all-star cast that consists of Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Stellan Skarsgård, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, and Javier Bardem. Dune is slated to be the first of 2 films based on the book. The film coming out in October (at this moment, anyway) will cover the huge books very first half, while a 2nd as-yet-unnamed motion picture is planned to cover the rest. There was also an HBO Max prequel series in the works.

Dune is amongst the upcoming Warner Bros. films slated to debut on HBO Max at the same time it strikes theaters. That questionable choice revealed by Warner Bros. in December, didnt sit well with lots of in the market including Villenueve. He blasted the studios then-parent business AT&T, stating in a Variety op-ed that it had actually “pirated among the most essential and reputable studios in movie history.” AT&T announced in May that it would spin off its WarnerMedia service to merge it with TELEVISION business Discovery.
Dune is still arranged to have its opening night at the Venice International Film Festival in September.
