The first trailer for the Frank Herbert adaptation has been rated today by the Quebec Ratings Board — in time for the Canadian release of Tenet on August 27. — Trailer-Track

The idea that the Dune trailer will premier alongside the premier of Tenet was in fact the initial speculation too. It turns out that the trailer was actually ready for quite some time, according to Secrets of Dune.

I can confirm a trailer is ready and it has been ready for some time. — SOD

This is the same user who has previously provided the still images of the Ornithopters, making his statements credible.

In terms of the G-rating: This is simply for the trailer itself. This will not be respective of the movie. The miniseries alone, which was quite accurate to the book, had a lot of mature elements which had to be removed for the American audience.

Why Hans Zimmer is Perfect for DUNE by Secrets of Dune

Dune was incredible. I wasn’t in it very much, so when I was watching the trailer, I was like, “Oh my gosh!” I called Timothée [Chalamet, who stars in it] and said, “Dude! You should be proud.” It is a big deal to even be a small part of something with such a massive cast. And I love sci-fi stuff too. It’s fun to escape into another world. — Zendaya

Tenet will premier internationally on Wednesday 26th August 2020.
