The Complete Fan Guide to Dune is the latest from amedia360 publications. It emphasizes Dune: Part 2, but essays writer/director Denis Villeneuve's first-half, cinematic take of Frank Herbert's classic novel, as well, in addition to the planned Dune Messiah (Dune: Part 3), Dune: Prophesy, David Lynch/Dino De Laurentiis' polarizing but enduring 1984 adaptation, John Harrison/Greg Yaitanes/Richard Rubinstein's popular, Sci Fi Channel interpretations, plus a look at the aborted, Alejandro Jodorowsky proposal, which would have enlisted the headlining talents of Orson Welles, Mick Jagger and Salvador Dali.
As a significant tie-in to Dune: Part Two, Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, as Paul Atredies and Chani, comprise a huge portion of the periodical, but the movie's essential, supporting players and characters are also covered within the vast, Dune spectrum.
Along the way, there's a comparison of Dune to other science-fantasy and pop-cultural platforms, in particular to old-school Star Wars and Star Trek, though of course, there's only one Dune and one mythology that defines it.
The edifying contents are delivered by writers Mathew Sullivan and Ian Spelling, who do a thorough job critiquing the franchise and its many arenaceous facets, fortifying this special issue as an essential document for the ages.
The Complete Fan Guide to Dune can be purchased at bookstores, supermarkets and drugstores nationwide.
