Dune to hit domestic theaters on Friday

Advanced screenings for industry insiders and journalists, as well as some fans, were held in Beijing earlier this week, receiving lots of applauds for its epic scope and magnificent scenes, bringing to life the titular dangerous desert planet set in the far future.

Starring Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides, a duke's brilliant young heir, the film unfolds with an unusual, anticlimax narration to reveal his awaking to realize his power and destiny to become a leader after his father is killed in a bloody scheme.
