Whatever the merits of the “film” used (digital or actual 35mm film)...for sure it will cost more than it needs to...with “on location” shots, constructed sets, union workers, police protection, costumes, post production costs, licensing, city permits, irascible “stars”, catering, cgi rendering farms....then who knows what types of subtle “wokeness” will be worked into the production. Read a book and let your mind imagine the scenes based on the authors words...just as immersive if done correctly...
IMHO...

The sex-switch of "Dr. Kynes" and the sneering haughtiness of "Chani" are evidence enough of that! Add to that the fact that the sexual perversity of the chief villain - "Baron Harkonnen" - is completely sanitized away.
