Publisher’s Summary
Soon to be a significant movement image directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, and Charlotte Rampling. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would develop into the mysterious man generally known as Maud’dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot in opposition to his noble household – and would convey to fruition humankind’s most historic and unattainable dream. A surprising mix of journey and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune gained the primary Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and fashioned the premise of what’s undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert’s loss of life in 1986 was a tragic loss, but the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will stay eternally.
