Some would say Dune is unfilmable due to the complicated world, jargon, much of the exposition are thoughts, and the main character does not follow the traditional hero narrative arch. See if the third time is the charm after the Lynch movie and the Sci-Fi miniseries.

I’ll give it a chance. Only because I loved the books as a teenager. The 1980s movie was a mess.

I don’t care for movies made from very popular novels much, when the movies don’t stay true to the novel. In my Sci Fi reading days, I read and still have all the Dune books, in hard copy and paperback.

I am not familiar with what part of the Dunne history this new movie is to be about.

1 Doon.
2 Doon Meshuggenah
3 Men, Women, Children and Pets of Doon.
4 God Help Us, Another Sequel to Doon

Collect the whole series.

It becomes unreadable too.

At least this rendition will be in two parts, allowing more exposition than the 1980s version.

IMHO David Lynch’s version had potential, if not for the behind-the-scenes struggles and ridiculously-compressed storyline.

Geeze... Now I have to reread my worn Dune book for the zillion things time. It’s your fault. LOL!

Dune plus Asimov’s Foundation novels are tops on my sci-fi list. Completely addictive for me and I do reread them.

The first Dune movie was a bust. It was way to short to develop the story and unless one was a completely Dune obsessive like me was about impossible to follow. The Dune miniseries had adequate length to tell the story but was held back by the special effects technology. I hope the new movie takes inspiration from the miniseries story telling and has kick ass special effects to bring the story fully alive.

Going by the preview, looks like the ruined it.

Fourth.
There’s “Jodoworowskys Dune” which would have featured Salvatore Dali among others had the actual movie been made. JD covers qll the parts including the hand drawn sets, actors and assorted parts. Worth watching even just for seeing how movie is made.

Ugh!

Hope there’s more to the movie than the trailer indicates. The whole ‘feel’ of the trailer was awful IMO.

John Spaits is involved I am in.
