Dune bookends Courtesy of Dark Horse DirectDark Horse Direct and Legendary Entertainment are letting the spice flow freely with sculpted and hand-painted bookends inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster adaptation of Dune. The product, which is now available for pre-order, is modeled after the massive and deadly sandworms that live on the desert planet of Arrakis. Fremen refer to the subterranean beasts as “Shai-Hulud.”“Bringing Dune to life has been an absolute pleasure,” Melissa Lomax, Director of eCommerce for Dark Horse Direct, exclusively tells Forbes Entertainment. “Legendary Entertainment has been a fantastic partner in this project and helped immensely with the finer details. I’m so excited to get these incredibly detailed bookends into the hands of fans who have loved this grand, science fiction epic for so long.”Sandworm bookends Courtesy of Dark Horse DirectSandworm bookends Courtesy of Dark Horse DirectSandworm bookends Courtesy of Dark Horse DirectThe worms featured in Villeneuve’s cinematic translation differ from those seen in the 1984 version helmed by David Lynch.
