The cinematographer used matte backgrounds for the "exterior" shots, painted on massive fabric sheets. The detail worked so well that it eliminated the need to film the exteriors in an actual desert, and allowed the filmmakers to create a film with production values on par with most big screen science fiction productions at a fraction of the cost.
Limited edition of 999 sets will be made featuring the highly rated Dune SCI FI Channel mini-series, starring William Hurt and Alec Newman. Each set comes complete with 50 movie cards, 2 authentic costume cards (materials worn by William Hurt and Giancarlo Giannini), 1 autograph card signed by Alec Newman, 1 bonus promo card, and a custom-designed album in which to store the cards.
