Uhh, have the Dune worms always looked like ... this?
Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures/Youtube Like it or not, Dune has arrived, and with it a giant worm shaped like, well … We knew it was coming thanks to a particularly striking shot at the end of the trailer, but what we did not know was why.
Who invented the worms? Dune, as you may already have been told by a sci-fi bro, is based on a notoriously complex series of books by Frank Herbert. According to Wikipedia, Herbert’s sandworms were inspired by treasure-guarding dragons in European mythology. Shrek made its dragon sexy, which makes me wish Dune had made its sandworms more sexy, but moving on.
Have the worms always looked like this? Absolutely not. The artwork for the books, which was done by illustrator John Schoenherr, shows the worms with three triangular lobes as their mouths. Behold: Second is another unfortunate piece of this perverse puzzle — the outer circle of the worm’s mouth, which is … wrinkly. Our VFX insider compares the worm’s skin design to an elephant hide, which is “very thick but still has a bit of movement to it.”
