Review: The space epic 'Dune,' in theaters and on HBO Max, features a star-studded cast including Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet and Oscar Isaac
Denis Villeneuve’s long-awaited—for once that’s true—version of “Dune” is the first of his two planned features based on the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert. When Zendaya’s Chani, the love-to-be of the hero’s life, says at the end of the 155-minute saga, “This is only the beginning,” it’s a laugh line as well as a prophecy. The film, playing simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max , also cleaves into two parts.
Screen versions of the Herbert novel have had a famously fraught history. The book is a sci-fi classic, acknowledged by George Lucas to be one of the inspirations for “Star Wars,” but it’s very long, deeply serious and dauntingly complex. The Chilean-French filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky once tried to do it as a 14-hour production and, for some odd reason, couldn’t get the project off terra firma.
