Frank Herbert’s science fiction epic “Dune” is not a short novel, nor is the series a ‘quick read’. Understandably, such a tome would then be translated to the silver screen in a lengthy script, and possibly more than one film. We do know that director Denis Villeneuve is already planning for his take on Dune for Legendary Pictures to […]

Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about several different projects, one of which being Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming Dune reboot. In the interview (at 9:10), Stephen Colbert asks Chalamet about “just one more film,” and it is of course the upcoming Dune remake from Legendary Pictures. Chalamet will be playing the film’s main […]

The beginning is a delicate time, especially for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune for Legendary Pictures. When it was first revealed that Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet would be playing the part of Paul Atreides, we were pretty excited. He’s a good choice, his age is about right (although a little old for the true story line), but his demeanor and […]

It would appear that Mission: Impossible star Rebecca Ferguson is currently in negotiations to join the upcoming Dune film from Legendary Pictures and director Denis Villeneuve. Obviously this isn’t a done deal yet, but if Ferguson joins the film, we’re thinking she’d be perfect in the role of the Lady Jessica, mother to Paul Atreides, who will be played […]

Just a little bit ago, we shared the pretty awesome news that Gale Force Nine will be creating new table top gaming items in the world of Frank Herbert’s Dune, utilizing previously published materials by Frank, his son Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson, AS WELL AS the upcoming Legendary Pictures film adaptation from director Denis Villeneuve. Buried in the press release […]

Shai Hulud, fellow Dune fans — it would appear there is worm sign of tabletop gaming proportions on the horizon as Gale Force Nine has just been awarded the license to create new tabletop and gaming products based in the world of Frank Herbert’s creation. Word just came down that Legendary Entertainment (who currently holds the film […]

Brian Herbert, author and son of Dune author Frank Herbert, has been a wealth of knowledge and source point for Legendary Pictures’ upcoming Dune film. He was the first to confirm Oscar-nominated filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s involvement as director for the upcoming reboot, and to update eager fans on the status of the script(s). In a tweet last night, Brian says […]

Hot off his Oscar nominations this year for Call Me By Your Name, Timothée Chalamet is apparently the frontrunner to take on the role of the Kwisatz Haderach Paul Atreides/Muad’Dib in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming Dune adaptation for Legendary Pictures. The Hollywood Reporter says the talented young actor is currently “in talks” to star in the film, which would answer several questions […]

While fans of Frank Herbert’s epic series Dune have been waiting for the “perfect” adaptation for some time, there is no denying the appeal of the versions we’ve gotten thus far. David Lynch’s ’80s take, while imperfect and fraught with issues ranging from budget woes to “the weirding way” — seriously, Lynch didn’t want the Bene Gesserit […]

Director Denis Villeneuve has proven his ability to take a previously existing science fiction property and make it his own. His success (yeah yeah, box office, blah blah) with Blade Runner 2049 signaled to many that perhaps he really is the right person to bring the Frank Herbert classic Dune back to the big screen. During an appearance at the Rendez-Vous […]
