Timothée Chalamet is Dune‘s star, and his stans have a lot to say about the trailer (mostly that they love him).

Fans of David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of Dune are taking this as an opportunity to post their favorite moments and memes from that version, noting that the 2020 trailer has far too few pugs in it.

No spoilers, but people are very pumped about the giant worm in Dune, which is featured in the trailer.

The worm is reminiscent of other worms from cinema history including the one in Tremors and the one in SpongeBob…
