Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert is the author of the science fiction novel *Dune*. He is newsworthy because *Dune: Part Three*, the final installment in Denis Villeneuve's film trilogy based on Herbert's novel, is in production. A trailer for the film has recently been released, showcasing further war and political conflict in the *Dune* universe, as well as hinting at a potential child for Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (played by Zendaya). Herbert's work continues to be relevant due to the enduring popularity and critical acclaim of the *Dune* series, and the anticipation surrounding the conclusion of the film adaptation.
