He’s been advising on the script and believes it will be the definitive adaptation of his father’s book. In 2003, Brian released a biography of his father, Dreamer of Dune, and he estimates that he’s contributed nearly 3 million words to the canon himself.īrian Herbert is also, yes, involved with the upcoming Dune film from director Denis Villeneuve. For much of his youth, he butted heads with his dad, and it wasn’t until he was an adult and doing his own writing that he began to appreciate Frank’s influence. The younger Herbert also manages his father's estate, which essentially makes him the keeper of the canon-a big deal when it comes to one of the most beloved stories in all of science fiction.īrian’s OK with that-he’s been working in the Dune universe for decades-but it wasn’t always so. Frank Herbert, who wrote the original book and many subsequent novels, died in 1986, but his son, Brian Herbert, went on to cowrite several more novels set in the world Frank built. It’s not an easy thing, being the heir to Dune. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The case is back to federal appeals court, and the question of whether Choix and others will be able to provide abortion care has been delayed.īut Choix and similar startups in the reproductive healthcare space face yet another battle: fundraising in 2023's tough dealmaking environment, just as the legal landscape for abortion care shifts under their feet. ![]() The startup, which had been in the middle of closing its seed extension round, paused fundraising to await the Supreme Court's decision.
