We have included the Official Dune Trailer for fans to watch below in this article.

For those unfamiliar with the book or the films, is a classic story or a power struggle between those in command of a galactic empire.

At the heart of the story is a planet called Arrakis. It is a key mining site for a rare ‘spice’ element. The spice is the key for interstellar travel and immortality.

Because the planet is essentially a massive desert, the planet is also referred to as Dune.

The original film was released in 1984, and was based on the book series written by Frank Herbert. While the film did not do well in theaters, is has become a classic over time.

Somewhat limited in the movie making technology of its day, the film wasn’t as close to the written story as fans would have liked.

Later, the book was adapted to a limited television series.

The main character is Paul Atreides. He is a prince and part of the Royal Family that rules this part of the universe. But as he soon discovers, there is something much more that connects him to Arrakis and the spice miners.

The inhabitants of the planet are in a rebellion, fighting to save their planet. To help their cause, they await the arrival of a ‘chosen one’ who will lead them to victory.

In the new film, Paul Atreides is played by Timothée Chalamet.

Directing this film is Denis Villeneuve. He was the creative genius behind the camera for the films “Arrival” and “Blade Runner 2049.”

More in keeping with the original story from the book, this film with only cover the first half of the story.

A sequel is reportedly planned to complete the story. Fans can anticipate a release of Dune in late December 2020.

Earlier today, Blane, world famous for acts of magic and other Houdini-like feats, performed his latest stunt. Holding on to a massive bunch of helium-filled balloons (around 50 big ones), he rose to 24,900 feet above Arizona before releasing and falling back to earth and landing with a parachute.

The entire event, dubbed David Blaine: Ascension, was filmed and streamed live on YouTube. You can watch a replay of the entire event below in this article.

The video begins with a look behind the scenes as Blaine prepared for the event with a look at the amount of preparation that was involved – including getting the OK from the FAA to enter into what is know as Class A airspace.

This is the airspace above 18,000 feet and is reserved for air traffic on an approved FAA flight plan – mostly airliners and jet traffic.

As the magician-turned-daredevil begins the climb, he is surrounded by cameras attached to himself and the balloons, along with a helicopter flying nearby to film him. The views are spectacular.

Blaine begins using special breathing exercises as he passes 12,000 feet to keep from passing out due to reduced oxygen at altitude.

At around 16,000 ft, the helicopter can no longer keep up.

Passing 20,000 feet, Blaine begins using portable oxygen and starts to accelerate his ascent.

The plan called for light winds to keep Blaine within about 3 miles of the landing zone. The idea was to keep him climbing as high as possible before he drifted any further away than that.

At the edge of the 3-mile point, and at altitude of approximately 24,900 ft., he releases himself from the balloons and begins a skydive toward the ground.

Opening a parachute around 7000 feet above the ground, Blaine makes a spectacular landing on the desert floor – very close to the airport from which he started his journey.
