I don’t think anybody is unfamiliar with Dune. Very few people are unfamiliar with Dune. Like you said, it’s huge.
It’s huge. And there are so many universes within this universe that it just allows so many creative people to be a part of it, on screen. For me, it was so exciting.
You can’t escape Dune wherever in the world you are, right? To belong to a franchise like that and to do such an important part — people around the globe, every nationality, and every culture knows Dune and will see you as part of it.
