To Live Is To Dream: Dune
April 11 - 16, 2025
David Lynch's controversial yet celebrated take on Frank Herbert's Dune returns to the big screen for a limited time. Come early to the April 11 screening to make pins out of your favorite Lynch characters with MoPOP and get your hands on some damn fine coffee and cherry pie!
You may know the Timothée Chalamet/Zendaya Dune that swept that nation, but what about the first film iteration of the prolific Frank Herbert novel? David Lynch attempted to ride the sandworm into Dune success in 1984, what resulted is a mind bending, classic 80’s CGI, spice induced ride. Following Kyle MacLachlan’s Paul Atreides, David Lynch’s Dune tells a slightly variant narrative on the dessert planet of Arrakis, one you won’t want to miss on the big screen.
