The event doesn\u2019t have an opening date or an end date  yet, but it is intended to tour. It will be in Los Angeles at a location in downtown\u2019s Art\u2019s District at least through the end of December. Expect costumes, props and life-size vehicles from the film, as well as projection-based rooms designed to immerse guests in the desert planet of Arrakis. <\/p>\n<p>Tickets will go on sale Oct. 7 via the official<a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/dunetheexperience.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> \u201cDune: The Experience\u201d web page<\/a> and range in price from $30-$45. <\/p>\n<p>There will be about a dozen rooms to explore, says Shalhoub, each designed for guests to spend around five minutes in. Some will feature hidden messages within ancient carvings, while others will emphasize photo opportunities with Paul Atreides\u2019 throne, allowing guests to attempt their best Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet impression. \u201cDune: The Experience\u201d is also built for attendees to linger, as it will feature an area with themed food and cocktails. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will reward your curiosity,\u201d says Amado Trevino, director of interactive media and experiences for Legendary Entertainment. \u201cWalls will begin to whisper throughout. You get to take Paul\u2019s throne and see the desert come alive around you. Guests may even find out if they have what it takes to ride a sandworm.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Different rooms are said to explore contrasting sensations, with some emphasizing touch, sound or visuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have this amazing projection room where you\u2019re going to get to experience what it\u2019s like in the desert in Arrakis, to really feel the scale of the desert and some of the dangers that lurk within the desert, namely sandworms,\u201d Shalhoub says. \u201cWe\u2019ve  re-created these environments in a very interactive and immersive way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adds Trevino, \u201cThere are things to see, there are things to hear, there are things to do, and there are things to feel. We\u2019re showing beautiful artifacts from the productions, but you\u2019re doing it from within the world of \u2018Dune.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An interactive, floor-to-ceiling walk-through \u201cDune\u201d attraction is coming to Los Angeles in November, and it promises spectacle, as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":480673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[188538,188534,47944,188537,9576,1924,4080,96051,48,52,51,188536,47,50,49,63,11053,146632,173789,188535,21654],"class_list":["post-480672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-arrakis","tag-desert-planet","tag-dune","tag-end-date","tag-experience","tag-film","tag-guest","tag-immersive","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-legendary-entertainment","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-november","tag-other-thing","tag-paul-atreides","tag-rob-shalhoub","tag-will"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/480673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
