The Art and Soul of Dune: Part One is on sale for $25 (was $50), while The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Two is available for $30 (was $60). If you’re interested in the creative process, these books detail the journey of each film from conception to finished movie.
The third book that’s on sale for 50% off is Dune: Exposures, which released a few weeks before Dune: Part Two hit theaters. Dune: Exposures was written by actor Josh Brolin, who plays Gurney Halleck in the movies, and features photography captured by cinematographer Greig Fraser.

Both books in The Art and Soul of Dune series are 240-page coffee table hardcovers with slipcases and gorgeous cover art. They contain exclusive photograph, concept art, and interviews. The first book contains interviews with Denis Villeneuve, Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and other cast and crew members. Part Two has interviews with Villeneuve, production designer Patrice Vermette, and others.
Both books feature introductions by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the coauthors of the modern Dune novels and graphic novels, and a foreword by Denis Villeneuve. Executive producer Tanya Lapointe wrote The Art and Soul of Dune and coauthored Part Two with Stefanie Broos.
Lapointe has written multiple other well-received companion books for major science fiction movies, including The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049 and The Art and Science of Arrival.
If you don’t own the films yet, the 4K collection with both movies is on sale for $30. Those who already own the first movie can grab Dune: Part Two for $13, but Amazon estimates orders won’t be delivered for one or two months. Not ideal. The 2-Film Collection should arrive this week, though. David Lynch’s Dune adaptation is also available for a discount at Amazon.
Amazon is also offering a steep discount on Frank Herbert’s six Dune novels. You can get deals on the books individually, or you can purchase the Dune Saga 6-Book Box Set for only $40 ($108).
