BUY: THE ART AND SOUL OF DUNE (PART TWO)

The new book comes on the heels of Dune: Exposures, a coffee table book from actor Josh Brolin (who stars in the franchise) and Dune cinematographer Grieg Fraser.

The 172-page book features intimate captures on set, from black-and-white portraits of Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler, to stills of Zendaya and the cast in between takes. The never-before-seen photos are accompanied by captions from Brolin, who reveals new secrets and details from the filming of the sci-fi blockbuster.

Publisher Insight Books says Fraser “went beyond standard unit photography and documented the filming process using still photograph on a variety of cameras.” The result: “an electrifying gallery of photographs” that span multiple styles, colors and techniques.
