As technology has moved on and film makers are able to visualise fantastical fantasy books closer to the source material films are being remade that look stunning.
Judging from this first trailer the movie looks fantastic and as Epic a movie as you can have, every scene just looks incredible.
One of the main criticisms of the David Lynch directed version was the confusing plot, this looks like the story telling has been upped and made more accessible for the masses.
The movie is set for December 18th 2020 in the UK and US, save from any delays because of a COVID-19 spike, and looks set to be a big Christmas hit.
