I thought SciFi channels Dune with Alec Newman was close, but the one starting James Macavoy was better.
Lynch’s did not come close.
On the DVD, the director is interviewed. He says he is a big fan of the books and he wanted his miniseries to be as close to Herbert’s vision as possible.
I think he did an awesome job.
Lynch’s version... if it’s on, I’ll stop flipping channels to watch it but the ending is ridiculous.
James Macavoy blew me away in Children of Dune even as a younger actor....that look of compassion he gives his tortured sister as he gives her the Kris knife to end her own life with stays with me to this day when I think about him.
He might of played a better Anakin Skywalker.
