about Alia Atreides. The heroine is the daughter of Lady Jessica and Leto I Atreides and the sister of Paul. After “surviving” her mother’s spice agony, she gained genetic memory and was born the Reverend Mother.
In the original novel, Aaliyah is presented as a child, which contrasts with who she actually is. Many assume that director Denis Villeneuve decided to show the heroine as an adult.
