Denis Villeneuve’s hotly-anticipated “Dune” is set to world premiere at the 78th Venice Film Festival, which is scheduled to take place from 1-11 September.
The festival announced Thursday that the big-budget sci-fi epic starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya will world premiere in the "Out of Competition" section on September 3.
Venice’s upcoming edition will run as a completely in-person celebration of cinema with the attendee of hundreds of journalists and dozens of film delegations from around the globe.
The movie is adapted from Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction bestseller of the same name, and centers around Paul Atreides (Chalamet), a scion of the noble House of Atreides that is tasked with overseeing the barren desert planet Arrakis, known as Dune.
Villeneuve was last in Venice with a non-conventional sci-fi pic “Arrival” in 2016.

Gains, Jon Spaihts, Thomas Tull, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, and Kim Herbert, serving as executive producers.
