    Incredible “Dune” Cosplay Awakened Sleepers at Dragon Con [Gallery]

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    We need to tell you about an incredible cosplay gathering that happened over Labor Day. Atlanta’s own Dragon Con, which boasted 65,000 attendees this year, is always a hotspot for costumes and creativity. Giant group photoshoots that take months of planning (and even longer for those in costume sometimes!) happen almost hourly. One of our favorites from the 5-day pop culture gathering was this amazing “Dune” group.

    Imagine getting to march in the annual Dragon Con Parade while carrying a sandworm! Straight outta Arrakis and Denis Villenueve‘s “Dune Part One.”

    There was a sietch of stillsuits, Atreides, Spacing Guild, the Paddishaw Emperor’s herald of the change, Bene Gesserits, and even a fighter from David Lynch‘s “Dune!“

    Needless to say, this was one of our favorites. We’ll do our best to keep you updated on “Dune” and other news. Shai Hulud.
