CTOnews.com, April 26 (Xinhua)-- "Sand Dunes 2," based on a classic science fiction novel of the same name, will be released in North America on November 3, with director Dennis Villenueva, Timothy Charamay and Zandaya among others.
At the same time, Warner Bros. announced on CinemaCon that "Dunes 2" will be shot entirely with IMAX cameras. Only 40% of the previous film was shot in this format, which will bring a better picture effect.

In addition, Warner Bros. is about to release the first trailer for "Dunes 2," which is currently being shown at the event. According to the media participating in the event, the trailer does look magnificent, with the protagonist Paul riding sand worms for the first time and getting ready to fight. The trailer ends with Paul standing in front of thousands of Fremans and raising his hand to the cheering crowd.
Director Villenueva said: "the first Sand Dunes is more like a contemplative film, and the second is a war movie full of action and epic, with a much more intensive plot. We went to a lot of new places, and I don't want to feel repetitive. Everything is new."
