Canadian Director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is one of the most anticipated films of the year, promising to continue his remarkable trend of blending visually impactful, intellectually rich and viscerally exciting projects. The backstoryMany have attempted to bring Herbert’s 1965 book to the big screen, including two surrealist legends, Alejandro Jodorowsky and David Lynch. The former’s project ended in a fascinating failure, with documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune detailing the implausibility of bringing that vision to life using 1970s cinematic technology. Dune is the story of the Atreides family, a fabulously rich and powerful ruling regime entrenched in an outlying desert planet named Arrakis. Bringing the world to life is Villeneuve, who has admitted to being a fan of the novel from his childhood days in Quebec.
