Warner Bros have dropped a new trailer for the long-anticipated movie adaptation of Dune.

The epic is set in the far future on a desert planet that houses a drug known as 'the Spice', which supercharges humans to have longer lives and advanced mental capacity, as well as making teleportation possible.

The film is due out in December and has an ensemble cast including Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac, with Denis Villeneuve directing.

The project - based on the 1965 book of the same name - has been in development for 12 years and is envisaged to be the first of a two-part saga, although the sequel has yet to officially get the green light.

Watch the trailer below:

Dune is released on Friday, December 18.
