Description

This volume, designed, custom printed, and hand bound with a variety of fine Japanese papers, provides an authentic and tactile experience that reflects the aesthetics of the film. Insight Editions has partnered with Dune’s executive producer Tanya Lapointe to share an insider's look at how Villeneuve and his team successfully adapted a legendary novel long thought unfilmable. Those well-known characters- Paul Atreides, Baron Harkkonen, Duncan Idaho, Stilgar, the Bene Gesserit witches- come alive again in this fearless philosophical probing of some of life' s most basic questions.

Tomislav Tomic is a Croatian-born artist whose intricate pen and ink style illustrations have brought to life stories from around the world. My one gripe - the same one I'd say about the BR2049 one actually - is that there isn't the same level of detail in the text as you'd find in the superlative Making Of books by the late J W Rinzler. Definitely one for the Christmas list and worthy of a place in our best sci-fi movie books ever collection.

Like David Lean’s film Lawrence of Arabia – the modern work of art Dune most resembles – Herbert’s novel exhibits epic sweep while remaining, at heart, the intensely moving story of a young man caught up in a myth. A unique, cloth-bound reproduction of the Fremkit instruction booklet prop created for the movie, featuring 80 pages of exclusive unseen art from the film. On set and behind the scenes, Godwin witnessed David Lynch wrestling with the unwieldy beast, trying to impose his particular, idiosyncratic vision on what was for the studio and producer Raffaella De Laurentiis a massive commercial enterprise.

His eyes are blocked in the unforgettable ‘blue within blue’, consumed by both the spice and his ‘terrible purpose’. Showcasing Villeneuve’s visionary approach to realizing Herbert’s science fiction classic, The Art and Making of Dune is an essential companion to the director’s latest masterpiece. This comprehensive and detailed exploration of the filmmaking process-from inception to production and postproduction-documents the story of capturing Villeneuve's vision for Dune, from its stunning environmental and creature designs to intricate costume concepts and landmark digital effects. Immerse yourself in the world of Denis Villeneuve's Dune and discover the incredible creative journey that brought Frank Herbert's iconic novel to the big screen.

The Road to Dune also features newly discovered papers and manuscripts of Frank Herbert, and also Spice Planet, an original sixty-thousand-word short novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. E. Lawrence’s Bedouin desert revolt to cutting-edge terraforming techniques and the burgeoning environmentalist movement. The Secrets of Frank Herbert's Dune, complete with a DVD full of interviews, footage, and behind-the-scenes goodies, reveals the how, where, and why of the 6-hour Sci Fi Channel miniseries. Seamus Heaney’s deeply felt interpretation, widely acknowledged as the greatest Beowulf translation of modern times, is presented in parallel with the Old English verse in this fabulous Folio edition. It goes without saying we absolutely loved this book and we highly recommend it to lovers of sci-fi movie books, collectors, and especially fans of the film.
