I've never taken the time to read/watch Dune, but this has certainly piqued my interest. Thanks

- jackcosgrove 10y agoDon't bother watching either production.
- DanCarvajal 10y agoTotally disagree, but I'm a David Lynch fan and even I will admit it's not actually a good movie. But if you've read the book you get a lot of what he was going for before people said "Dude, you can't have a four hour movie...." I find it a fascinating and enjoyable movie. The book is my single favorite book ever.
- ericd 10y agoRandom side note, but the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, about a version that was never made, is excellent.
- rbanffy 10y agoMaybe Netflix can get the rights and do a proper miniseries.
- ericd 10y agoI'd actually be really excited about that. Unfortunately, a lot of the original cast/crew are dead/a bit too old. Dali was to play the emperor, H.R. Giger, the artist who went on to do the design for the aliens in Alien, was doing the concept designs, but died not too long ago. Mick Jagger was playing the young Harkonnen prince, with Orson Welles as the Baron Harkonnen. The storyboard book and a lot of the concept art was completed, though, so I'm sure Netflix could still make a great go of it, and Jodorowski himself seems incredibly fired up for an 87 year old. He seems to have more fire in his belly than most 30 year olds.
- mikeash 10y agoI don't think any of the adaptations are worth watching, but the book is deservedly a classic. I don't know about the sequels, I've heard bad things and never tried them, but the original one is great.
- metaphorm 10y agofirst book is great. books 2 and 3 are worthy sequels. stop reading after the third book.
- tnecniv 10y agoI've only read the first trilogy, but some people maintain that the forth book is the best. I didn't like 2, but realized its necessity for 3.
