With the hotly anticipated movie adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi epic, set to hit both the big and small screen on October 22nd, we thought now would be a good time to go over everything you need to know about the movie, so you are fully prepared. Whether you are brand new to the intricate lore and mythos of Herbert’s work, just in need of a reminder or just love the series so much you will watch any video that talks about it - we will give you a brief overview of the original text, touching on the backstory and the plot (without going into any spoilers) and what to expect in the movie. We will talk about the intricately woven feudal system that both the movie and book are set in and the two rival houses that make up the primary conflict. We will take a look at the barren, desolate landscape of Arrakis in which the titular location is set, as well as the formidable native people and monstrous devouring sandworms that call the sandworld their home. We will take a look at some of the cultural practices, religious groups, technology, vehicles, equipment and of course the ever important ‘melange’ (AKA spice) exclusive to the franchise and what they mean in terms of the movie. We will also give a rundown of all the major players in both the book and the movie and which Hollywood star will be playing them, as well as giving a quick overview into their relationships. We will also take a look at some of the work behind the camera, who is directing, who is doing the cinematography and which legendary composer is returning to bring a new and amazing score. So, let’s take a journey to the desolate, dangerous, giant sandworm occupied planet of Arrakis, as we take our ornithopters over the dunes and into the prophetic, spice filled dreams of Frank Herbert’s masterpiece!
