Jacksons version of LOTR was absolutely pathetic, walked out half way through "Fellowship" and stayed away from everything after that point... A motion picture I might be interested in would be Steven R. Donaldson's Lord Fouls Bane, The Illearth War, and The Power That Preserves, but they'd definitely fuck that up too...Dune is already working on a sequel in writing the script
The sequel to 'Dune' was written 44-years-ago. It's called 'Children of Dune'.
I predict this latest iteration of 'Dune' will fail, not because it's a bad premise, but because the book 'Dune' is such a sweeping epic of intricate plots and sub-plots so far removed from popular science fiction, that it can't be condensed into a 3-hour movie.
David Lynch's 1984 'Dune', was a disappointment for 'Dune' fans and confusing for people who had never read the novel for precisely that reason.
A similar example, is Peter Jacksons 2001 (and 2002 ... and 2003) 'Lord of the Rings'. More than nine hours of film and they still had to leave out Tom Bombadil and his hippy wife.
Wow, a series I read decades ago! They were all excellent, but you had to read them twice to get all of the meaning.
Truly a masterclass of writing, and I agree with you, no one could do them justice in a film.
