So we have LOTR, and the chronicles of Narnia are coming soon...will ANYONE be attempting to make the Dune books into the majestic, sci-fi epics they deserve to be made into? I've seen the Sci-Fi channel's miniseries and it left alot to be desired. We need a Peter Jackson-type who will lovingly adapt these novels for the big screen. David Lynch need not apply.

Thoughts?

We need Dark Tower movies, although I don't even know if this can be done.

Fuck you playing at? The spice is the life. David Lynch version of Dune for life.

If you're interested, I remember a Dune movie that wasn't very good by John Kroop(?), 1976 or so.

I'd like to see Terry Brooks stuff as movies. Probably the 2nd series.

:lol
That was probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

The David Lynch version was crap. In my opinion anyway.

Yeah, some of the most amazing books I have ever read.. and they completely butchered them on screen. :/

I rather liked the Sci Fi version of the original Dune. I haven't read the book for almost a decade, but it seemed relatively faithful. I particularly liked the stage feeling that the miniseries had.

I never watched Children of Dune, but I never really liked what I read of the rest of the series. Heretics of Dune was particularly wretched.

Sorry man, but Lynch's Dune rocked. Though I have to wonder what Jedi would have turned out if he had worked on that instead.

Lynch's Dune was awesome except for the ending.

That's funny, I thought Heretics was damn good. I thought God Emperor was slow moving so the series picked up again with Heretics.

The first 3 books are great and it's no surprise to me that he was actually writing parts of books 2 and 3 before he even finished Dune. They all have the same feel to them. The later books aren't as good but still enjoyable.
