Florence celebrates its ties to DUNE novel and movie.
This week, the latest cinematic adaptation of DUNE opens in theaters.
And Oregon’s coastal city of Florence is celebrating its connection to the novel and movie franchise.
In the 1950s, Frank Herbert was a journalist and writer, who came to Florence on assignment.
While there, he saw the area’s vast expanse of sand, which planted the seed of inspiration for one of the most influential science fiction novels of all time.

Jared Anderson is education director at City Lights Cinemas, which will feature the new film’s premiere Thursday night, with an exclusive filmed intro featuring someone close to the project.
"Byron Merritt, Frank Herbert’s grandson, talks a wide variety of issues, from DUNE and its connection to Florence, how the book has resonated with people across the globe over the years, what the future of DUNE will look like, both with new books and new films, television series.”
The city of Florence is holding a number of screenings, discussions, and other commemorative events all month and into November.
