Directed by Denis Villeneuve, screenplay by Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts, based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert - Starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Léa Seydoux, with Stellan Skarsgård, with Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem
Frank Herbert's classic masterpiece--a triumph of the imagination and one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time.
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of Paul Atreides--who would become known as Muad'Dib--and of a great family's ambition to bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction.

About the Author
In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with "Looking for Something?" in Startling Stories. But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune followed, completing the saga that the Chicago Tribune would call "one of the monuments of modern science fiction." Herbert is also the author of some twenty other books, including The White Plague, The Dosadi Experiment, and Destination: Void. He died in 1986.

What people are saying
"“Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” I picked up Frank Herbert’s Dune this week and it’s basically the perfect novel for August in Texas."
"Whether you've dabbled in Dune lore before or you're completely new to the wild world of Arrakis, there’s something for everyone in this Titanic-sized series about power, violence, and fate... It's also considered one of the best books of all time, as well as a seminal work in the sci-fi genre."

Completely agree, @paulkrugman! DUNE is everything I needed it to be. Brilliantly written, acted, and stunningly shot. I was obsessed with the Frank Herbert books when I was a kid. And this is the movie those books always deserved. https://t.co/Ei9VtE63DF
