More than five decades since fans first read the words of Dune, the 2021 science fiction film inspired after it is now nominated in 10 categories at the 94th Academy Awards. Most notably, Dune is up for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography. Viewers tuning into the upcoming 2022 Oscars ceremony will definitely spot a few of the Dune cast members on the Oscars red carpet, including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Jason Momoa.

Dune is based on the book series of the same name. Following the 1984 film and 2000 television series, the latest iteration marks the second film adaptation and third adaption of the novel. The sci-fi flick tells the story of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he travels through the universe for his family. He must conquer his fears to save the people he loves most on his home planet.

In case you breeze through the nearly three hour-long movie, there is a second part premiering in 2023 that you can start looking forward to.
