‘Dune’ Returns to Theaters – See Lynch’s Cult Classic and Villeneuve’s Epic on the Big Screen
David Lynch’s divisive film and 2021’s critical hit return to screens in the coming weeks – make sure you get your ticket.
After Alejandro Jodorowsky’s and Ridley Scott’s attempts at adapting Herbert’s novel failed, it went to indie (at the time) director David Lynch. Dune was the largest production he had worked on. Alongside the principal actors, the production required 1,700 crew members, over 20,000 extras, and 80 sets. It was a huge undertaking.
Audiences weren’t sure what to make of the finished product, and it was a box office flop. The movie has since been praised for its vision, production design, and special effects. It has gained a strong fan base over the last several decades–even if its director isn’t among them.
Fathom Events is bringing the movie back to theaters for Dune’s 40th anniversary. You’ll have two days to catch it – February 18 and 19.
See the Other Dune in IMAX
Lynch’s film isn’t the only Dune adaptation returning to theaters. Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film is returning to select IMAX theaters for one night only on January 24th. Great way to get a rewatch in before Dune: Part Two hits theaters a week later on March 1st. Tickets are selling fast, so snag yours now.
