As eager as I would be for a Foundation TV show, I think about Dune and what an abomination that was. Similarly, I loved The Hobbit, but Jackson's trilogy was all but unrecognizable. With few exceptions (GoT, for example), multi-volume novels are made well.
- ianai 8y agoI’d love a good modern Dune movie series. It would go well in the current genre of dystopia movies.
- pier25 8y agoDenis Villeneuve is working on a new Dune adaptation.
- kyriakos 8y agoAs a movie though, I think the material is so dense it can't be expressed in a movie setting especially with today's need for everything to be about action and special effects. I just finished reading The Butlerian Jihad and even though it's not the same as the original works it's more suited for today's audience.
- ianai 8y agoThere’s plenty of dark plots and action for a movie. But his philosophy and pernicious stuff could be hard to convey.
- kyriakos 8y agoI agree the story is hardly about the action but about politics, religion, fanaticism, will power etc. The important parts are in the details and will be hard to be put in a movie. More time is needed to develop the characters than what's available in a movies length.
- madengr 8y agoCall me crazy, but I liked the movie, and I’m a fan of the books. Just finished God Emporer of Dune.
