    Dune

    Frank Herbert

    Dune is set to be one of 2021's most anticipated films. Based on Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel, Dune takes place in the far future, on a distant planet, where Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) plans to take his family’s business empire to the next level. Given the rich specificity of Herbert’s world, Dune has proven notoriously difficult to adapt (past movies have been critically panned). Instead of trying to cram all of Dune into one movie, director Denis Villeneuve is going big.
