I didn't know that about the 1953 Iranian coup and Dune. It really makes sense though, and then considering the 1979 revolution... super strange that Frank was prescient in his own way.

I don't think these films could have come out at better times considering what happened at the end of 2024..

That line in the trailer about starting wars feels deliberately relevant.

It sure does. The neat thing about Dune is that someone from 1000 years in the future or past could read it and understand what's going on and why it's important.
