"Dune" was adapted from the novel of the same name published by Frank Herbert in 1965. The film preparation process was long and difficult, and the director candidates were changed several times. In 1971, Arthur P. Jacobs’ Apjac International film company decided to shoot the film. Because Jacobs was busy shooting other films such as the sequel to "Dream of the Apes", the filming plan of "Dune" was postponed. For a year. The script creation of the film and the search for the director were carried out at the same time. The initial outline of the story was completed by the producer Robert Greenhert who recommended the film to Jacobs, and the one who took over the script later participated in the adaptation of The Barber of Siberia. "Rober Palenberg." In 1973, Jacobs died suddenly of a heart attack, and "Dune", which was originally scheduled to be filmed in 1974, immediately fell into disarray.
The right to film "Dune" was sold again. The buyer was Dino de Laurentiis. After a series of changes, Zodulowski was very angry because the filming plan of "Dune" had changed his Life, and Dan Obannon, who was originally scheduled to be responsible for special effects, was also admitted to a mental hospital because of the film’s dystocia.
