CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The 1984 film Dune was directed by David Lynch, who also wrote the screenplay based on Frank Herbert's 1965 novel. The movie was filmed at Churubusco Studios in Mexico City and featured a soundtrack by the band Toto with a contribution from Brian Eno.

Dune is set in the distant future and centers around a conflict between noble families fighting for control of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of the spice melange. The spice is essential for space travel and grants prescience, making it the most valuable commodity in the universe.

Paul Atreides, the main character, is the heir of a powerful noble family that is given control of Arrakis, which puts them in direct conflict with the former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also believed to be the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure prophesized by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.
