Sort of, but in a darker, grittier way with powerful guilds. Guilds capable of holding governments, entire planets and even systems hostage to get their due.
As an added bonus to that trailer and in a rare twist, the music was arranged by the composer of the soundtrack, Hans Zimmer...
A full orchestral arrangement with choir of Pink Floyd's Eclipse, the use of which is forshadowing in itself.
Also believed to be a bit of a tip of the hat to the never realised mid 70's Dune movie to be directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, for which was going to have Pink Floyd write the soundtrack.

A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, DUNE tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence -- a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential -- only those who can conquer their fear will survive. (Based on Frank Herbert's seminal bestseller of the same name.)
