Dune reunited director Denis Villeneuve with visual effects supervisor Paul Lambert to turn a supposedly unfilmable saga into an epic box-office adventure.
Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic Dune was long considered an impossible adaptation, too weird to bring to the screen in a truly faithful way, and too beloved by its fans for any filmmaker to change.
Paul Lambert: I love the challenge. But having worked with Denis before and knowing his approach was going to be very photoreal and realistic, I knew what that challenge was going to be. I like to try to make things as invisible as possible so that nothing takes you out of the movie.
Working with so much sand seems like it would get really complicated, getting into everything both metaphorically and literally. Was that the case? It was very much a trial-and-error process. I had brought two artists with me during preproduction because I wanted to do immediate tests for different ideas. We actually landed pretty quickly on a look for the shields. We started with a clip from Seven Samurai — specifically, the famous fight scene — and one of my artists processed an image from the film to blend past and future frames together.
