So you have to be careful with what you do. The fans will have their own interpretation of it. I think the ornithopters and the worm are part of the mythology and they’re the elements that the fans are expecting to see. The ornithopter craft were built by British company BGI © Warner Brothers What was the hardest thing to realise? So for Caladan we felt that was the perfect weather. We’re headed towards the death of a year and the beginning of a new cycle. Both Denis and I are French Canadian and fall is our favourite season. ![]() The weather was another thing that stuck from the beginning. And then you create very angular structures so the wind can just slip past the structure as opposed to smashing right into these buildings. There you have protection from the wind, and the rocks would stop the worm from penetrating. So I would start by setting the foundation of a city on Arrakis in a natural protective environment, which would probably be a mountain bowl. You have to be true to the nature of things, the elements of the planet. So, I try to think like an architect or a city planner building this place. Arrakis has winds of up to 850 km/h (530mph) that would tear the pavement off the ground. That was very important for us.Īfter that we started thinking about the landscape itself, and the natural elements of each planet in the book. I think that imagery resonated in what we wanted to create in the world of Dune: the sense of scale, and a sense of imposing yourself on a place, and the idea that these structures can show the power of a nation. We talked about how the colonialism always tries to force itself onto a landscape, which led me to the work of Nicolas Moulin and of Super Studio in the 1960s, both concept architects who had these designs for huge human-made constructions jutting out of landscapes, which were kind of terrifying. And we shared images of bunkers from WWII images of ziggurat architecture from Mesopotamia brutalist architecture from the ex-Soviet bloc and also Brazilian brutalist architecture. ![]() The first thing I remember Denis showing me was a board of Richard Avedon photography, which was great for the softness of the mood. So what would we find on the Dune mood boards?
