“Just see it. It’s remarkable.” That’s what the Seattle Times had to say of Dune, and they got it right. Featuring outstanding performances from Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac, Dune is an extraordinary film, filled with adventure, drama, epic landscapes and wonderful set design. It will make for an amazing experience when screened on our big screen in the harbour.
Oscar nominee Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) directs Dune, the big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal bestseller of the same name. A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
