Designing the Dune Sandworm
First up, Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new featurette for the Best Picture-nominated sci-fi blockbuster "Dune." Director Denis Villeneuve says, "I think that as soon as you say, 'okay, let's make Dune,' you go back home and the first thing you ask is, 'okay, what about the worm?" Learn everything that went into the design of the massive creature that lives in the deep desert, which is revered as a god-like figure called Shai Hulud by the Fremen.

"Friends" also saw appearances by the likes of Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Jeff Goldblum, Bruce Willis, Reese Witherspoon, Brad Pitt and more. That's quite a roster!
