The Spice Must Flow: New ‘Dune’ Movie Starts Shooting
Principal photography has begun on the newest adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel “Dune.”
Herbert wrote six novels in the series altogether, with “Dune” (Chilton Books, 1965) being the first. After his death in 1986, the author’s son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have co-authored an impressive further 26.
The last time someone attempted to bring the story to the big screen came 33 years ago, with director David Lynch’s film. That vastly underrated movie was an unparalleled masterpiece in production design, but it altered one or two elements of the source material more than some fans liked.
Brian Herbert recently tweeted that the cameras have begun rolling for the new adaptation.
