We’re about to see Arrakis on the big screen in mere days. Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of
Dune
looks epic. The trailers have teased the film’s sweeping landscapes and designs—a gorgeous backdrop for the story of Paul Atreides. The
Dune
art of book,
The Art and Soul of Dune
, will explore the movie in greater depth.
Dune
executive producer Tanya Lapointe wrote the book, so we have behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who was present throughout the making of the film. And in this exclusive book trailer, Lapointe presents
The Art and Soul of Dune
while sharing some memories and footage from set.
Lapointe worked closely with Villeneuve on this on-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic novel. Who better to share a look at
Dune
‘s concepts and designs? Besides taking readers through the entire project, the book also includes interviews with Denis Villeneuve, Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and many more.

And
The Art and Soul of Dune
has something unique: a soundtrack. When
Dune
composer Hans Zimmer read the book, he told Lapointe he was going to write music for it. Zimmer’s music adds another layer of immersion to the
Dune
art of book. It makes the book more of an extension of the movie experience.
Insight Editions
If you’d like to add yet another layer,
The Art and Soul of Dune
also has a limited edition. It comes with an exclusive companion volume written by Josh Brolin (he’s playing Gurney Halleck) and
Dune
director of photography Greig Fraser. The book features candid and on-set photography along with Brolin’s recollections. Plus the special edition has a cloth cover featuring the symbols of House Atreides and House Harkonnen, and a reproduction of the Fremkit instruction booklet prop made for the movie.
