Frank Herbert’s epic series of space opera novels began in 1965, with the first book in the series, Dune, an instant success, winning the first-ever Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1966. Dune became one of the foundations of modern sci-fi and fantasy. Herbert created a vast and bizarre world with a colorful array of characters. Since the 80s, the Dune
series has been the subject of countless adaptations, with David Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two being the most recent and successful. However, there are certain elements of the Dune books that simply wouldn’t translate well to the screen.2024-04-19
