1. ARRAKIS - A SCENE FROM SPACE
Also known as DUNE, home of the Fremen, former
Zenzunni wanderers.
1A. INT. ROCK LEDGE - SIETCH TABR - NIGHT
BLACK:
FADE IN to the dark eyes of the mysterious face of
the REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO, who sits against smooth
black rock. Her eyes are deep blue-within-blue and
her skin is a haunting translucent white. Her voice
ECHOES as if in a great cavern.
REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO
We are the secret of the Universe.
RESPONSE OF TWENTY THOUSAND VOICES
Bi-la kaifa.
REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO
We are the secret of the Universe. We know
of spice...the spice called melange...the
greatest treasure in the Universe. It
exists on only one planet - ours Arrakis,
Dune. We know of spice and the Bene
Gesserit sisterhood's selective breeding
plan of ninety generations to produce the
Kwisatz Haderach, the one the spice will
awaken.
RESPONSE OF TWENTY THOUSAND VOICES
Bi-la kaifa.
REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO
And now the prophecy...
Silence...then a powerful low organ NOTE resounding
in the cavernous space.
REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO (CONT'D)
He will come...the voice from the outer
world, bringing the holy war, the Jihad,
which will cleanse the Universe and bring
us out of darkness. He will have been born
of a Bene Gesserit mother.

The Reverend Mother continues speaking of the
Prophecy, but we do not hear it. The huge wind organ
BLOWS louder and louder, obscuring her voice.
The picture FADES.
1B. KAITAIN - A SCENE FROM SPACE
Home planet of House Corrino and Shadam IV, Emperor
of the known universe.
2. INT. DROP - NIGHT
FADE IN to:
...interior of one drop of water. The image changes
subtly.
2A. EXT. - DROP - NIGHT
PULL BACK to a shot revealing the outside of the
drop. There is a distant ROARING and within the drop
we can see the distorted image of a space ship
landing on a sophisticated landing field.
3. (Deleted)
3A. EXT. LANDING FIELD - EMPEROR'S PALACE - NIGHT
On the dark landing field, chemicals spill out of
the ship in troughs and tank-suited Guildsmen begin
to swarm out of a hatch opening.
4. through 6. (Deleted)
7. INT. THRONE ROOM - EMPEROR'S PALACE - NIGHT
The EMPEROR is surrounded by crowds of COURTIERS in
his Throne Room.
Suddenly a GUARD enters from a small door and
quickly crosses to ANOTHER GUARD. A warning SOUND
begins. The Emperor turns nervously. Guards quickly
begin to clear the large room. Several women are
rushed toward us to a door beyond. One of the woman,
IRULAN, stops and turns back for a worried, caring
look to her father, the Emperor.
IRULAN:
Father.
--
EMPEROR:
Irulan.
She sees that SARDAUKAR OFFICERS are surrounding him
now, speaking to him. Irulan turns and leaves. The
Emperor moves away from his officers to the center
of the now-empty room. He drops his golden robe from
his shoulders. He stands in his elegant black
uniform, thinking.
The Reverend Mother is ushered in and the Sardaukar
Officers leave her alone with the Emperor.
EMPEROR:
(quickly)
A Third Stage Guild Navigator will be here
within minutes!
REVEREND MOTHER:
We felt his presence.
EMPEROR:
I shall want telepathy during his visit
and a report when we're finished.
REVEREND MOTHER:
Their minds are so.... They move in
strange directions....
EMPEROR:
Yes?
REVEREND MOTHER:
Forced spice evolution of humans changes
many things.... I must sit close to him.
EMPEROR:
He will not permit anyone but me to see
him. You must be outside this room.... Do
what you can.
REVEREND MOTHER:
I am your Truthsayer, my lord...
(sensing something outside the room)
He is here, my lord.
Under the carved inscription "Law is the Ultimate
Science", the doors to the Emperor's chambers slide
open and FIFTY GUILDSMEN wheel in a forty-foot long
giant black box. One of the Guildsmen addresses the
Emperor through a translating device.
