The film is taken as the basis for the order of the scenes being discussed. The scenes have been numbered according to their appearance in the film according to the scenes in the screenplay. In some cases, when two successive scenes from the screenplay appear as one scene in the film, they have been been given a single number and a letter with as a postscript, like 17a and 17b.

There also is a list of lines from the book that are used in the film, the script and/or the screenplay. There is also a a list of deleted scenes and a table showing all the scenes from the various sources including the chapter numbers they relate too.

Intro

The intro starts a piece of music and the subtitle 'Dreams are messages from the deep' followed by the WB and Legendary intros. The subtitle does not occur in the script and the screenplay.

1. Introduction scene

This scene starts with scene as described in scene 1 'Dream sequence: Ext. Arrakis - End of day' (#1) of the screenplay, and mixes this with a number of shots showing the departure of the Harkonnen as overseen by Rabban. There is a voice over with the voice of Chani. The scene ends with 'Dune' being displayed. (There are about 30 shots in this scene.)

The screenplay does not have the voice over. The scene is not found in the script. The script starts with an introduction scene called 'Bene Gesserit temple wall'. Both of these scenes are not found in the book. The scene suggests that the harvesters operate during the night, but this seems not the case in a later scene in the film and the book, where there is a harvester working during the early morning. In the book there is also no focus on the harvesters being attacked by fremen.

2. Int. Caladan castle, Paul's bedroom - Night

This scene shows Paul in his room waking up from a dream and next shows the planet Caladan covered with clouds and some lightning. This scene matches scene 2A (#2) from the screenplay. It does not occur in the script. In the book Chani calls Paul Usul instead. (There are about 8 shots in this scene.)

3. Int. Caladan castle - Room overlooking valley - Morning

This scene has Paul and Jessica on the breakfast table. It matches with scene 2C (#3) from the screenplay (except for some small changes). It does not occur in the script and in the book it also does not appear. The book does not give any details about the training that Jessica is giving to Paul. The scene does display some items, including a portrait of Paul's grandfather and a sculpture of a bull killing a man, that the readers of the book must recognize. (There are about 31 shots in this scene.)

4. Int. Paul's room

In this scene Paul watches a projection with some details about Arrakis. This scene is not found in the screenplay or the script. Although the details match with what is given in the book, they are not presented in this manner but in bits through the text. These bits can be found at: The text runs over into the next scene, when a heighliner becomes visible an a little 'dot' leaves the heighliner. (There are about 13 shots in this scene, until the shot with the heighliner.)

5. Ext. Caladan tarmac - Day

This is scene 2D (#4) in the screenplay. It is not found in the script. Compared to the screenplay, some lines have been removed in the film. This scene is not based on the book. The book does not give details about how the decision of the emporer is communicated. (This scene has about 52 shots.)

6. Int. Caladan military hangar - Morning

This scene is primary about Paul talking with Duncan after he arrives in a plane, which does not look like an ornithopter at all. This scene is not based on the book. In the book there is no interaction between Paul and Duncan on Caladan. In Chapter 4 he asks where Duncan is and Gurney tells him that he is gone to lead the second wave to Arrakis. This scene does not occur in the script. It is based on the following scenes in the screenplay: In the film the scene takes place in the hangar without dream sequences. In the screenplay there is some talk about Duncan shaving his beard, which might refer to the deleted scene where Duncan lands on Arrakis while being clean shaved. (There are abou 37 shots in this scene.)

7. Ext. Caladan's clifftops

This scene has Paul talk with Leto on the clifftops. It matches with the scene 22 (#12) in the sceenplay, but it has a very different dialog than in the script, which is more about the empirial politics than on the personal level, just like Chapter 6 in the book. There are some lines from that chapter in the script (lines 43 to 45 from page 46, Chapter 6) that do not appear in the screenplay but do appear in the film. In the book Paul never asks his father to travel with Duncan to Arrakis as he does in the screenplay and the film. It is only in Chapter 12 that Leto talks with Paul about that they need 'desert power' on Arrakis (on lines 39 to 41 from page 89, Chapter 12). (This scene has about 29 shots, including the transistion shot showing the palace from the air.)

Deleted scenes

There are some scenes in the screenplay, that do not appear in the film. These are:

There are also some scenes in the script of Duncan arriving at Arrakis, which should have happened following the above scenes. These are:

Although the first two scenes are not included in the screenplay, there are some images and a clips that suggest that this scenes were filmed. These scenes are not based on the book, which in Chapter 4 (line 31 from page 37) states that he has gone to lead the second wave. This seems to suggest there was another wave and that he did not land on his own from a stealth ship.

The scene 12 from the script is about Paul meeting with Hawat. It is based on Chapter 4 of the book starting at page 32. There are some lines which are taken from this chapter. These are:

8. Int. Training room - Day

This scene is about Paul and Gurney fighting. It matches scene 14 (#17) from the screenplay and the following scenes from the script: It is based on the second half of Chapter 4 from the book. The screenplay and the film start with some lines that in the book are between Hawat and Paul. The screenplay does not have the part of Gurney singing that is found in the script and is taken from the lines 43 to 48 from page 37 and lines 1 to 3 from page 38. Scene 16 in the script has a line based on lines 10 and 11 from page 41. Lines 33 to 37 from page 39 amd ;ome 26 from page 40 are used in Scene 18 in the script. The scene is based on the following lines in the book: The 'eighty years' are mentioned on line 19 from page 10 (second page of Chapter 1). (This scene has about 51 shots.)

9a. Ext. Cityscape of Geidi Prime's capital

This a short scene based on scene 20A (#19) in the script and screenplay showing the cityscape and a spaceship landing in a landing bay. (It seems that scene 19 (#18), 'Space Giedi Prime', is not included in the film.) (This scene has two shots and transitions smoothly into the next scene making it appear as one scene.)

9b. Harkonnen baths

This scene is about Rabban talking with Baron Harkonnen en Pitter De Vries and is based on scene 21B (#21) in the screenplay. (It seems that scene 21A (#20), 'Int. Harkonnen Palace - Corridor - Day' is not inlcuded in the film, or just very short.) It also matches with scene 21 in the script. The film follows the screenplay except for some statement at the end. Compared to the script, the screenplay is a bit longer. This scene is not based on the book. In Chapter 2, Baron Harkonnen talks with Piter De Vries and with Feyd-Rautha, who does not appear in this film. (This scene has about 21 shots.)

10a. Ext. Space - Caladan Orbit

This scene is based on scene 5 (#22) in the screenplay and in the script. In the script this scene is preceded with scene 4 'Int. Castle Caladan - Meditation Room - Night' and followed by scene 6 (continuation of scene 4), which is found in the sceenplay, but also not in the film. In the film this scene and the next are intermixed and can be seen as a single scene (which has about 11 shots). These scenes are not found in the book. The depiction of a ship flying through a heighliner as a kind of portal is a deviation from the book, where it is clearly described that the heighliners fly through space.

10b. Ext. Castle Caladan - Night

This scene is based on scene 7 (#24) in the script and screenplay. In the script it is followed by scene 8 'Int. Castle Caladan - Meditation Room'. The film has Jessica waiting for the arrival of the shuttle.

This scene is based on scene 9 (#25) in the script and the screenplay. The scene is about Jessica waking up Paul and telling him to get dressed. In the book Reverend Mother Mohiam arrives in the evening and together with Jessica visits Paul who has just gone to bed but is still awake while pretending to be asleep. In the book Jessica wakes him in the morning (at dawn) and tells him to hurry and dress in line 33 on page 11 of Chapter 1. In the script there is a short line taken from line 13 from page 343 of Chapter 37. (This scene has about 6 shots.)

12. Int. Castle corridor - Night

This scene is based on scene 9A (#26) in the screenplay and the first part of scene 10 in the script. In the book the interaction with Doctor Yueh as in this scene is not included in the book. This scene has some lines from the book: Line 33 and lines 35 to 37 from page 11 of Chapter 1. (This scene has about 22 shots.)

13. Int. Library - Night

This scene is about Paul being tested with the gom jabbar. The scene is scene 10 (#27) in the screenplay and the rest of scene 10 in the script. This scene is based on text from Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 of the book. The following lines are from Chapter 1: In the film the test seems to awaken something in Paul. There are some flashes from future events and there is a moment where he seems to overcome the pain and/or being able to ignore it, and look Mohiam straight in the face. This is not described like this in the book. Although, in Chapter 3, Paul states on line 44 from page 29 about 'a stamp of strangeness' implying that it did something to him.

The following lines are from Chapter 3:

In the script and screenplay there are also some lines from Chapter 4 where Paul recounts to Hawat some part of the conversation with the Reverend Mother. These lines, the lines 8 to 13 on page 35, are found in the trailer starting from 0:55, but are excluded from the film. These lines do not appear in Chapter 3 where Paul talks with Reverend Mother Hohiam, but on line 33 from page 31 she said something that could be interpretted as such. It looks like Paul gives his interpretation of what is being said, but maybe Paul did have a longer converstation with her, because in Chapter 4 he goes on to give more details not mentioned in the earlier chapters. (This scene has about 105 shots.)

14. Ext. Castle Caladan - Terrace landing pad - Night

This scene is scene 11 (#28) in the screenplay and the script. It is about Jessica talking to Reverend Mother Mohiam on her way to the shuttle and talking with Paul after the shuttle has lift-off.

These are: (This scene has about 32 shots.)

15a. Int. Great Hall - Day

This is a short scene based on scene 22aA (#30) in the screenplay. It does have Jessica and Leto watching how a mounted bull's head is put inside a case.

Caladan Castle - Morning', another short scene. In the film this scene starts with a four shots of Paul watching a space ship emerge from the water, thus kind of merging it with the next scene from the screenplay. (This scene has 8 shots.)

15b. Ext. Clifftops - Sunset

This scene is based on scene 22A (#31) in the screenplay and in the script. The script does not mention the Atreides fleet taking leave. In the script this scene is followed by the scene 23 'Ext.

This is only the very first part of scene 94 in the script and the screenplay (#103) in which the Baron sits eating in the dinning hall and Leto lying present.

This is scene 95 in the script and the screenplay (#104) in which Paul and Jessica sit in the stilltent. (This scene has 7 shots.)

66. Int. Arrakeen residency - Dining hall - Night

This is the second part taken from scene 94, in which Dr. Yueh and the Baron meet and Yueh is killed. It uses the following lines from Chapter 21: (This scene is about 21 shots.)

67b. Int. Arrakeen residency - Dining hall - Night

This is the third part taken from scene 94, in which the Baron talks with Leto. The words the Baron says in the film are not found in the book. In the book Leto says nothing.

The line 'Here I am, here I remain' is taken from Chapter 16, line 13 from page 130.

During this scene in the film, there are two shots with Paul and Jessica in the stilltent opening a bag and finding the ducal ring. This leads to some briliant dramatic and symbolic transitions. (This scene has about 27 shots.)

Arrakis - Dessert - Day' and 95E 'Ext. Caladan - Open bay of war spacecraft', which appear as inserts in this scene in the film. In the film there is also a shot with a knife and a blooded hand holding the knife. These are visions of the far future, which are not explicitely described in Chapter 22 of the book.

This is scene 107 from the script and the screenplay (#122), in which Paul tries to open the door to go after Duncan who is fighting the Sardaukar. In the book they are not aware of the Sardaukar until the door slams open, with Duncan blocking the passage against a swarm of Sardaukar. It is Paul and Kynes who throw their weight against the door to close it. Later, Paul hesitates when they are about to run away and Jessica convinces him that Duncan has died and that Paul cannot do anything for him.

In the book it is but much later, in Chapter 30, that Kynes dies when he is left alone in the desert with a disabled stillsuit to make it look like he died through an accident. (This scene has about 27 shots.)

85. Int. ornithopter - Day

This is scene 112 from the script and the screenplay (#127), in which Paul and Jessica are being chased and dive into the approaching storm. The script has some more dialog than the screenplay. In the film there is some additional dialog not found in the script and screenplay and also not in the book. This includes Paul getting a vision of Jamis giving him advice to go with the flow. Those words are taken from Chapter 4, lines 42 to 46 from page 35, where Paul talks with Hawat about his encounter with Reverend Mother Mohaim. The scene uses some lines from Chapter 25.

Deleted scenes

In the script are a number of scenes, related to the attack on the Harkonnen spice stockpile, that are not found in the screenplay and the film. The attack is mentioned in the book, but not described in detail.

This is scene 125 from the script and the screenplay (#130), in which Paul and Jessica are flying in the storm. In the script it says that Paul gets a spice vision and sees the direction to take.

This kind of vision is not found in the book. (This scene has about 11 shots.)

90a. Ext. Rock ridge - Day

This is scene 129 from the script and the screenplay (#136), in which Paul and Jessica travel through the dessert. There is a lines based on line 20, 27 and 28 from page 242 of Chapter 27. (This scene has about 6 shots.)

The following lines from the chapters are used: (This scene has about 90 shots.)

91b. Ext. Rocky Basin - Night

This is scene 132A from the screenplay (#139) and the middle part of scene 139 'Int. Cave of ridges' from the script, where Jamis invokes the amtal with respect to Jessica and Paul is accepted as her champion.

Deleted scenes

In the script there are a number of scenes inserted in which they travel to the cave of ridges and where Jessica talks with Stilgar. In this respect the script follows the book more closely. These are the scenes:

92. Ext. Rocky Basin - Pre-Dawn

This is scene 132B from the screenplay (#140) and the third part of scene 139 from the script, in which Paul kills Jamis in a battle. The film follows the script, excpet that it starts with a short 'messiac' vision that is not based on the book. The start of this in the script is different from the screenplay, where it has Paul telling Chani about his dreams. The start of Chapter 33 is written from the perspective of Jessica and the dialog between Paul and Chani is not described.

This is scene 133 from the screenplay (#142).
