- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024Tanya LaPointe’s book is a true keepsake, This beautifully and handsomely bound accounting of the making of Dune, feels like an artifact from the world it depicts. I breezed through it cover to cover when I got it and will definitely refer back to this beautiful tome. I bought both books in fact, as I was blown away by each film. Denis Villeneuve is a true stylist and his deep love and devotion to the Herbert books is palpable and bled into each frame of his two films. These tomes really give you the sense of the Herculean task it took to bring this superlative Dune adaption to life.
From the beautiful set photographs behind the scenes, to the fully realized concept art, the book is accessible and filled with fun and interesting anecdotes from cast and crew.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024For any DUNE nerd like me, this is a must-have
- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2024Beautiful book. Definitely worth the wait.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2021The production value is amazing, from the page quality to slip case. As a lover of all art books and behind the scenes information, this is a perfect combination of the beauty of the film with the creative process that brought it to light.
The insight into Denis Villineuve’s role was also great to read, as he is my favorite director. After setting this down I immediately looked for other collaborations with Tanya Lapointe and was pleased to find they have a book on Arrival releasing next year. Can’t wait to pick more of these up.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024This book is so lovely! Excellent buy!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2021Well done. Could have been better though. There are scant few images of development sketches, which are the best type to view. I can't understand 'why' it is that only game-art books include scads of development artwork whilst movie-art books always skimp. I would have preferred hardcover, as my copy arrived with one of the corners somewhat crunched. The imagery that the book DOES include IS in fact quite nice. So if you are Dune fan you will be pleased.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024The book is beautiful and I love it but the box was damaged and the book was placed in there without any packing paper to protect it so the book corner was bent and part of the slip cover ripped. This seems to be happening to a lot of people so I knew there was a chance it would happen but the book is amazing so I still bought it

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024La calidad de este libro es insuperable. La impresión y el nivel de detalle. El único lunar estuvo en la entrega pues la empresa de envíos no tuvo cuidados y se deterioró un poco una de las puntas. Amazon debe ser más cuidadoso con esto
