Review of the film "Dune";: The history of film adaptations
In the mid-1950s, Herbert, a journalist and aspiring writer, came to Oregon to write an article about the fight against sand dunes. What he saw inspired him to explore the sands, deserts and their inhabitants. Thus was born "Dune" - one of the most interesting science fiction series of the twentieth century. Published in 1965, the first novel collected the main American awards in the field of fiction, received a large fan base and very quickly turned into a cult status. Over the next 20 years, the writer will write five more novels - the plot of the saga will span millennia, and after Herbert's death, his son Brian will continue his work, in the spirit of the Dune universe. It is not surprising that this plot would attract the attention of cinematographers back in the 1960s. However, they will perceive it more as a challenge; a test that must be passed in order to prove their selectivity.
In the 1970s, the shocking surrealist Alejandro Jodorovsky began to develop his film adaptation project. He imagined Dune to be a 14-hour film with significant plot deviations from the novel. The young protagonist Paul was to be played by the director's 12-year-old son Brontis, who was forced to train six hours a day for two years. As the emperor, the artist saw Salvador Dali himself - he, however, was not going to follow any instructions from the director and demanded an incredible fee of $ 100 thousand. In the end, this redundancy led to the fact that the "Dune" of Khodorovsky was never filmed. But at the same time, it placed her in the pantheon of legendary unrealized projects that were simply not adapted to exist in the real world. But "Dune" is still being filmed in 1984. Another director known for his surreal vision, David Lynch, will make a film that he will not be allowed to edit, and which he will remain very dissatisfied with. The film will fail at the box office and become the object of caustic critical passages. Khodorovsky will be happy to say that "Dune" cannot be filmed at all.
In the early 2000s, the Sci Fi channel, the home of most of the American space shows of the last 30 years, will make two miniseries based on Frank Herbert's novels. The total running time of "Dune" and "Children of Dune" reached nine hours and both shows won Emmy television awards for special effects. But they never became an outstanding event, and in addition to steady fans of fiction, they attract the attention of fans of James McAvoy: in "Children of Dune", the 24-year-old actor played one of his first cameo roles, namely the son of Paul Atreides. Yes, from a certain point of view, this can be considered a spoiler. But in fact, in the context of Herbert's work, it was only a matter of time.
