Coming December 18

Trailer looks pretty good!

Just read the book for the first time a few months ago. Currently on Messiah.

As a fan of the Dune Series, both Herbert and Frank stories, I am tentatively excited for this movie. Hollywood has been pretty lackluster on a lot of things these last 2 to 3 decades, so I'm hoping there's no let downs here.

The reading get's a bit dry the further in you go. Wife listened to the audio books and by God Emperor she asked me what she had gotten herself into.

Oh well.

Damn... That's a pretty lengthy delay.

I read the original Dune book while backpacking solo around Europe out of college. I've always said I like to go back and re-read or the sequels but have never gotten around to it. I didn't know they were doing another movie adaptation. The one from the 80s isn't too good.

The Lynch Dune is an abomination. The SciFi (pre Syfy) Mini-Series does a great job with the first book, and the second mini-series, Children of Dune, combines the first two book sequels and its really good too.

New trailer out today.

Looks pretty sweet. Anyone know if this movie will cover all the events of the first book? Or will they split it up into two movies?

I saw this article

Quote:This new adaptation of Dune is expected to limit itself to covering roughly the first half of the book. (Legendary [films] has not yet given a green light to a sequel, though a spinoff based on witchy, eugenics-focused Bene Gesserit was ordered.)

Man I hope it's better than the original.
