The teaser merely scrolls through these faces, with Zendaya’s Chani the only one to blink or show any facial movement.
While the characters scroll by, Chalamet’s Paul Atreides is heard stating the Litany of Fear from the iconic Frank Herbert novel, which reads as follows.
‘Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.’

The final shot features Paul Atreides on his own in the middle of the desert, giving fans a tiny taste of the full trailer on Wednesday.
The teaser trailer also debuted attached to prints of Warner Bros. Tenet, which opened to lukewarm results at the box office over the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Fans got their first glimpse of these characters last month, when Empire unveiled the first-look photos of several of the main characters.
