I’m joined by Empire’s very own Geek Queen Helen O’Hara to talk about the science-fiction epic, Dune. Released in 1965 by Frank Herbert, Dune explores the world of Arrakis, a harsh desert planet filled with intrigue, deception, giant worms, space politics (the good kind not the Phantom Menace kind) and so much more! It’s a novel that changed science-fiction and fantasy stories and it’s influence can be seen in countless other stories ever since its release.
It’s had a variety of on-screen adaptations and with the latest effort soon to be released, I thought who better to explain the sci-fi phenomenon than Helen O’Hara.
