Dune is one of the most anticipated movies of the year and has already stirred controversy with the decision to launch in US theaters and HBO Max on the same day. However, that debate will now be placed on the back burner after a copy of the movie was leaked online. The release comes courtesy of EVO, the same group that recently leaked Netflix's 'The Power of the Dog' and 'The Guilty'.
Dune (also known as Dune: Part One) is the first installment of a planned two-part adaption of the 1965 sci-fi book written by Frank Herbert. The movie has been in the planning for years, with filming eventually taking place between March and July 2019.
Dune had its world premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2021, and Warner Bros. released the movie internationally on September 15, which did not include key markets such as the US and UK.
The movie will launch simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max on October 21, a day earlier than originally planned. However, the controversial decision to have a day-and-date release in the US is already being overshadowed by another type of distribution.
Dune Released on Pirate Sites
During the early hours of Sunday, the P2P release group known as EVO released a 10.6GB file claiming to be an ‘HDRip’ of Dune. This means that the copy was not obtained from a ‘cammed’ or camcorder copy of the movie shown in theaters but has been ripped from some other source.
Some torrent sites have the release marked up as a WEBRip, which suggests an online streaming source but at the time of writing, EVO has not yet responded to TorrentFreak’s request for comment. From the NFO file released with the movie what we can confirm is that the resolution is a reported 1920×780 and the running time is 2 hours and 30 mins, five minutes less than the 155 min listed on IMDB.
