Dune: Prophecy teaser

Dune: Prophecy takes us back thousands of years before the Dune films are set and focuses on the Bene Gesserit. “Sacrifices must be made,” Emily Watson’s character Valya Harkonnen says in the teaser. The video shows how the Bene Gesserit train their sisters to exert power and have complete control over their mind. It also shows how despite having control over those in power, the sisterhood still has a long way to go before it becomes the powerhouse it is in the films. Those in positions of power chafe against it.

Tabu’s powerful first look

The teaser shows a glimpse of Tabu as Sister Francesca for a few seconds before cutting away. She can be seen dressed in black, with a cape on her back, standing with her arms folded and staring straight into the camera. While her character has no dialogue in the teaser, her costume lends her a sense of power. It remains to be seen if further promotional materials reveal just what part she has to play in the power struggle going on in the Imperium. In May, a Variety report described Tabu’s character as ‘strong, intelligent and alluring’.
