The Secrets of Frank Herbert's Dune, complete with a DVD full of interviews, footage, and behind-the-scenes goodies, reveals the how, where, and why of the 6-hour SCI FI Channel miniseries. The series, much anticipated by fans of Herbert's novels (and foes of David Lynch's controversial 1984 take on the story), covers the action of the first book, Dune. With lots of black-and-white photos showing shots from the miniseries as well as never-before-seen cast, crew, and set images, Secrets reveals much of the production process, including special effects. The accompanying text enlightens fans about some of the casting and plot decisions, bound to be the subject of debate for years to come. An inset includes color photos of major cast members, production sketches, models, and sets. One of the best chapters in the book is Vittorio Storaro's "Cinematography Ideation of the Film," which reveals his ideas behind camera methods and key shots. The book makes a nice, informative package for anyone interested in how a cable-TV science fiction epic is made, and the DVD is an added bonus. --Therese Littleton
