Product Information

E. Lawrence’s Bedouin desert revolt to cutting-edge terraforming techniques and the burgeoning environmentalist movement. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Compared to LaPointe's equivalent book on Blade Runner 2049, this one both fits easier on the shelf and is packed with more pictures. This 240 paged volume is light on the on-set photography/pictures and heavy on actual concept art pieces, something I always prefer for these “art of” books.

Titan Books will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing. Included are his own favourite story, the story that introduced one of his most famous characters and a fable published for the first time.S’il est plus distant de notre époque que ne l'est le premier pas de l'Homme sur la Lune, il évoque pourtant des thématiques qui continuent à avoir une forte résonance dans notre monde ; en 2020, Dune est ainsi toujours une œuvre d'actualité, aussi bien parce qu’elle s'est intéressée à des questions intemporelles que parce qu'elle a développé des pensées visionnaires, qui allaient par la suite occuper une place centrale dans l'actualité mondiale. The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Two also features exclusive interviews with key members of the cast and crew, including Denis Villeneuve, production designer Patrice Vermette, and many more, delivering a uniquely candid account of the hugely ambitious international shoot.

It is a place where water is sacred – ‘a substance more precious than all others’ – where to shed a tear is the most taboo of all sacrifices. An exclusive companion volume titled simply Dune, featuring the candid and intimate on-set photography of Oscar-nominated director of photography Greig Fraser, accompanied by Josh Brolin’s personal perspective and recollections of the production.As the hot young filmmaker commanded a cast with 42 major speaking parts as well as a crew of 1,700 (plus over 20,000 extras) on 80 sets built on 8 sound stages in Mexico, what happened next became as wild, complex, and full of intrigue as Herbert’s novel itself. Packaged in an elaborate deluxe clamshell case wrapped in saifu cloth featuring copper-stamped bespoke imagery based on the Bene Gesserit designs created for the movie. Definitely one for the Christmas list and worthy of a place in our best sci-fi movie books ever collection.

Herbert wrote for a number of newspapers, including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, lectured at the University of Washington, and served as an ecological consultant in Vietnam and Pakistan.You certainly get what you pay for - a rich, detailed, and intimate account of the film-making process. Frank Herbert's science fiction classic 'Dune' will be seen like never before in the breathtaking film adaptation from acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve. Mary Shelley's darkly disturbing tale is illustrated by Angela Barrett and newly introduced by Richard Holmes.

Dune seems to me unique among SF novels in the depth of characterisation and the extraordinary detail of the world it creates. It is a universe of ‘traps within traps’, of human computers, secretive witch-cults and fanatic warriors, all with their own intricate histories and intentions.Before Star Wars, before A Game of Thrones, Frank Herbert brought to blazing life a feudalistic future of relentless political intrigue and insidious treachery, a grandly operatic vision – half-Wagner, half-spaghetti western – of a hero discovering his destiny. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loved Villeneuve’s Dune and all the art within the film. He is also well known for his numerous novels in the Dune universe with Brian Herbert, as well as many Star Wars, X-Files, Star Trek, Batman and Superman novels.
