The first book is great and it would be nice to see a screen adaptation from somebody like Terrence Malick.

basic hitler posted:I always read the butlerian jihad as a hard rebellion against the weakening of mankind caused by THINKING MACHINES like how the internet and facebook even in 2017 has turned us into soft weak babymen. Not a terminator-esque war against the machines Yeah a truly strong AI probably wouldn't go the Terminator route it would just slowly soften our species to the point of extinction with memes, porn, and economic manipulation.

Defiance Industries posted:They fall into the trap of "women use sex to control men and make them do things!" Don't get bent out of shape but that happens a lot in real life. It's not the dynamic governing all relationships but it happens.

I think for a film adaptation to be successful they need to focus almost exclusively on the visual aspect and go minimalist on the dialogue and heavy-handed exposition. A few printed lines of backstory in the opening credits is enough for audiences to be oriented enough to enjoy things. Just shoot in high quality 3D, don't skimp on the worm CG, design some cool stillsuits, and do with the desert what Lord of the Rings did with New Zealand. A unique and powerful soundtrack is an absolute must though. It can bump you up a letter grade.
