I thought there were already 2-3 versions out there? I remember the STING version from when I was a kid..Didnt fully understand it then, and the fat Baron scared the crap out of me.

I read all the books first. Then the movie made a lot more sense.

Why do we need another remake? I thought the original was good.

David Lynch's Dune was spectacular. There was a Dune remake in the 90's, it was good. Of course Hollywood can't do anything original so they reboot and remake. A solid faithful Remake of Dune could be a good thing Or just a 5 hour Director's Cut of the original( Never gonna happen, save those dvd's). The Thread was a set up for Dune talk. I'm about to reread the whole thing, Brian Herbert books included.

There is this little gem http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935156/ that will make you very angry for missing the best Dune movie that never came to be..

There was some talk about a new movie a few years ago, but it seems to have been shelved.

Dune, one of my all time favorites books and movie as a kid. And, yes, that fat baron was a creepy dude. And the little witch sister.

Lynch's version was great for it's time. If a guy like Ridley Scott decided to make a version it would be awesome. No one does sci fi like him.
Read all the books and wish Brian Hebert would write some more.

I thought this was a pipe forum; not a nerd convention.

No "pics or it didn't happen from me". The last thing I want to see is how you dress up your worm.

Besides the Sting big screen version of Dune there was a mini series of Dune made by the Sci-fy channel that is very good. When I bought the Sci-fy channel version I started disc one a tad late on a Friday night. It captivated me and so next thing I know I have watched all the discs and the sun is up on Saturday morning lol! Suffice it to say I found the Sci-fy mini series to be very well done and as they have much more time to tell the story they blew the movie version out of the water IMHO.
Here is a link for more information: Sci-fy IMDb Dune Link.

Harrison's Dune was closer to the book. His Children of Dune was Dune Messiah and Children of Dune in one. Great movies although low budget. My favorite book was God Emperor of Dune. Would be great to see an updated version. Oh well, shelved it seems.
I would have loved to try some of GL Pease inspired Dune blends. Anybody had some?
