it would, but the rights are held by some other company. I guess they could do something "inspired" by Dune though. crossing my fingers and hoping that something like that is the secret project Wiz is working on.

It's just a pun, though - like, that's pretty much the only reason it's there.

Speaking of the color of spice, I went looking because I thought the spice when fresh from a blow was described as purple, but I couldn't find the passage. Instead, I found the passage that mentions the sandtrout part of the whole lifecycle, and it specifically mentions carbon dioxide being produced by them - so I guess sandtrout live off the hydrogen of the water rather than the oxygen, as I'd assumed.
This also might mean that it's probably both the sandworms and the sand plankton that is responsible for changing the carbon dioxide into oxygen as both the original novel and GEoD mentions the oxygen producing part of sandworms.
Does this mean sandworms are more plant-based until Leto II leaves his pearls of awareness in them and they suddenly become more animal-like?

this is machine thinking

Are there any good audiobook versions that are just...plain?

Just one person, just reading the book(s)- one person, not multiple people like an audio-play, not putting on voices?

What's the over-under on there not being Dune 1: part 2 - movie of the book of the game?

They split the movie in two, they didn't film the two parts simultaneously, Dune is known box office poison...

Yeah I'm a little worried about this as well. From what I recall, didn't Blade Runner kind of just do ok at the box office despite being loved by most critics? :ohdear:

Depends on how they pitch it. Blade Runner comes off like Total Recall, another unasked for remake of a classic movie that can't be replicated, ie; dime a dozen at the modern box office. The Dune movie is mostly remembered for Sting and isn't exactly burning up Netflix. 'Game of Thrones in space' is probably as good a pitch as any to get audiences interested.

Honestly, Dune would be way better as a Game of Thrones style prestige TV series imo. Having it be a couple of seasons worth would allow you to really get a feel for the world and the political intrigue. I'm not sure a two hour movie is a good format for such a narratively dense work. But from what I remember, the dude doing cinematography is the same guy from Blade Runner, so if nothing else it'll be pretty to look at.

The only problem I have with this is they'd drag it out so loving bad they'd spend an entire season before Paul and Jessica even end up in the desert.

The Flix Brewhouse theater near me is showing Dune next Monday. I reserved seats two days ago and I was lucky I did because they were almost sold out. I know it's not exactly a ringing endorsement that a city of 500,000 people managed to nearly sell out a single showing of Dune, but plenty of people are fond of it.

Sadly it isn�t Roger Deakins, but the guy who did Zero Dark Thirty (also sandy?) and Lion and, uh, Rogue One.

He seems alright.

Darn, I recall Deakins being attached to the project for sure, but I might have been using my prescience to look down a path that did not occur.

Yeah it was assumed he was gonna be but then it was announced no.. I think it�ll still look great though, other guy (Greig Rogers?) has a decent record.
