And that will likely be where they end the movies as the books start becoming weirder.
I seem to recall Denis making it clear this is where he intends to stop, for exactly this reason.
Having grown up on the Lynch film, I’m frankly astounded and delighted that we got a Dune adaptation that made it this far.

goddamnit, I wanted to see

Leto 2 becoming the sandworm god
but I guess with some of the disappointing scenes in the 2nd film (Paul taming Shai Hulud, the visions just being shots on a beach) , it probably wasn't going to go down the way I wanted to. It's a shame.
Soundtrack was still awesome, but it did re-use a LOT from the previous film
Sardaukar chant FTW.
Did you see the Syfy series?
At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.
I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.
Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.
I did not, but not for lack of interest. I just never got around to it. I know very little about it but it always looked to me like the visuals at least drew very heavily from Lynch’s movie.
It wasn't bad. It is better than Lynch's film. It's not as good as the Villenuve's.
If it means anything I read all the books
Where does Jodo's work rank in your estimation?
He never finished it but Im not a fan of that guy. Self admitted rapists shouldn't be celebrated.
Wait, what did I miss? 😵💫 🤢
In El Toppo he actually raped the woman playing the prostitute in the rape scene.
^(jesusfuck)
The American mind can't comprehend the glory of Leto III.
An American wrote the whole series. What we cannot do is make the 4th book interesting on film
But why not? Who doesn't love a giant worn talking around the fact that he's created a fascist dictatorship for some vague promise that'll it all pay off one day? /s
It's 500 pages of exposition and little story?
Oh! Did you not know and were speculating? The movies will only cover the first two books. The third book is when stuff starts to get... odd.
But the fourth book is mostly talking with an action set piece at the beginning and the end. I didn't read the next book
No Im in my 50s and Im spacing whether it's the fourth or fifth book that is mostly Leto engaging in exposition.
If ypu missed the last book you missed "Jews in Space" before Mel Brooks thought of it.
The fourth book, God Emperor of Dune, is the exposition book with Leto II (the III?)
we didnt even get the creche-wide spice orgy for dune 2
lame
I couldn't help but read that in Danny Devito's voice. Haha
I was wondering this. I mean I sorta would like to see the flash crossover part.
It's been like 6 years since I've read the books and I really didn't enjoy Dune Messiah but I also think parts of Children of Dune will be included. If you browse IMDB they have casted the son and daughter.
I like the first one so much that I read it multiple times as a kid, but then I read the second one and decided that was as far in the series as I needed to go.
Yeah, I recently (started in like June or so) listened to the core books and I'm maybe 1 hour off finishing book 6. Honestly 4 was enough of an ending and it just goes even further off the rails.
The two things I’m looking forward to (if they bother showing them) are how they depict the Guild Navigators and Tleilaxu. The latter was kinda teased in the Dune: Prophecy series but that was a lower budget production, so I wonder if they will do it differently.
I guess I need to see part 2.
