>tfw Dune will never get a proper movie adaption like LOTR did
>even if production started it would likely be dropped again
>even if it DID come out, it'd likely flop either because A. they didn't put a lot of work into it because they knew it would tank or B. audiences just don't care about a new series
It hurts

It would be insanely difficult to adapt Dune to even a 3 1/2 hour movie. There's just too much. Lynch and Jodorowski both tried and failed. It needs to be a series, HBO is the only one I trust to give it the budget it needs but then it's too slow and paced for the average TV watcher to appreciate.
It'll never happen though. Maybe it's better that way.
It's not a very good story.
Dune is one of the few stores that, meme buzzwords aside, still feels "epic" to me. I don't think any modern movie could do it justice and wouldn't somehow just diminish it and turn it into a disposable action flick for popcorn audiences.
ENOUGH WITH THIS FUCKING WHITEY SHIT
What do I have to do to get an adaptation of some Butler? Some Delaney
why?
The Lynch version is GOAT
I don't know what you faggots are talking about
MUSLIMS ARE GOOD BOYS THEY DIDNU NOTHING
Everytime I see someone mention Dune I pray to Kek that it never gets made into a movie or series, ever. It has been polluted enough, I am just glad that Jodo never made his atrocious adaptation.
I want Jodorowsky's Dune. LSD experience without actually taking LSD.
No, it's not.
>Jodorowski
His script was 12-14 hours long m8
Yes it is
Leave Dunekino to me
>After the defeat of Shaddam IV and the Imperial Forces on the Plain of Arrakeen, in 10193 AG, the Fremen expanded the battle off world.
>This Jihad spread throughout the entire galaxy, pillaging millions of planets.
>The only planet that was spared the raging fire of Muad'Dib's Jihad was the home world of House Atreides, Caladan. Lady Jessica, mother of Paul Muad'Dib, refused the Fremen any access to the planet, including religious pilgrimage.
>The Jihad ended in 10206 AG. According to Muad'Dub, conservative estimates ranked the Jihad's casualties as 61 billion lives, the sterilization of ninety planets, and the "demoralization" of five hundred additional worlds. Furthermore, 40 different religions were wiped out along with their followers.
For real, it's not the best thing ever written by far but I still don't want anyone to touch it
I honestly hope the Lynch version and Jodo's failure put off any potential suitors for decades to come
the assassinations every 10 minutes would be too much for the viewer
>Muad'Dub
I wonder what female actress they would get to play her.
the Kwisatz Haderach has to be male
if Agatha Christie and Astrid Lindgren's works can be modified for better correctness, so can Frank Herbert's
I wish you just die and stop making these threads. I seriously hope you and your family get erased from history
>Jodorowski
His Dune was a joke. He literally said he was "raping Frank Herbert".
>ywn see a good adaptation of Dune or any other of Herbert's novels
Why even live?
Heated argument. Solid points on both sides. Not sure who I agree with yet.
Delaney? sure, we've got a screenplay for "Hogg" ready, we're just looking for a lead who can shit and piss his pants at the same time.
>I want Jodorowsky's Dune.
no, you don't. you think you do, but you don't.

> LSD experience without actually taking LSD.
right up to the point where the Harkonnen troops squat and take a shit on the landing field at Arrakeen.
funny. i don't remember that part in the book.
or the part with the cyborg Victrola dogs.
Fuck Dune, I wan to see a well done adaptation of The Book of the New Sun.
Sadly, its nuances are too subtle that most of what makes the book great would be lost in translation.
Because planetary romance is and always has been a trash genre.
The only reason Avatar made it so big was because "muh IMAX" and "muh next gen graphics". No one really gives a shit about blue space cat Pochahontas shit.
If they just time skip the entire book of Atreides arriving on Arrakis and bum fucking around the desert establish his jihadis so the audience can be presented with the space opera side of Dune, then it might be attractive.
But that would lead to a huge knowledge gap.
How about this
Forget all about the bene gesserit subplot and all that shit.
Just make it paul atreides, a noble in exile after his dad is killed and palace invaded, rallies the native fremen to get revenge on his archenemies the harkonnen and the scheming emperor by using sandworms.
Cue in love story, blah blah, some liet kynes environmentalism blah blah blah, you have a blockbuster
Its literally avatar but in a desert instead
i could give a fuck about dune desu
now if somebody could do god emperor proper-like then i'd really cream my jeans
>DAMN THE PHARAOHS!
I think they'll make a Dune trilogy a la LOTR, but it'll just cover the main dune story, not the godworm / sequel stuff.
They've already scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard they're digging through the ground beneath the barrel. It'll happen. Eventually.
Adapt one and only one you get 10 mill per episode and 15 for the last 2
>Dune
>Warhammer 40k
On
>Hbo
>Netflix
where the fuck is that picture from??
agreed. fuck the haters desu
It could be properly done as an anime 2bh
>Because planetary romance is and always has been a trash genre.
> someone makes a good planetary romance
> "it's still trash because it always has been trash"
you're a big fan of capeshit, aren't you?
> comic adaptations are a trash genre
> always have been
>Dune can't be ruined and compartmentalized for normalfags in the same way LOTR and ASOIAF are
And that's a good thing, seriously would you want "epic memes" being created of everything that happened in Dune? The closest we've got is the shitty "Spice must flow" meme with the cat and most people are unaware of what series it is from. It's a good thing.
Good. You people dont want a dune adaptation as much as you think you do.
>Some Delaney
I would kill for a good adaptation of Dhalgren!
He also has tons of short stories that would apapt to a screen well. That being said delaneys real charm is all literary, youd need a director that can make the worlds feel real and lived in.
Saw the documentary yesterday on Dune by Jodorowski
He fucking destroyed it compared to the books, it was a fucking mess
It's simply too smart for common people. Also no black people.
So just get rid of anything interesting and unique before turning it into generic genre shit that misses the point by making paul a messianic savior instead of the worst attrocity the galaxy had seen, only supplanted by his son.
That sounds fucking terrible. You will have a long future in hollywood my friend.
>Also no black people.
Plenty of dune coons though. And no one complains about brownwashing other brown people. We wuz freemen an sheeit.
Fanart
The alternative edition redux fan edit is decent, though.
You are an idiot.
>paul
>an atrocity
If he'd been what the bene geserit wanted, it would've been so much worse. Then Leto II was all about making sure groups like the bene geserit could never even think about trying that bullshit again.
>the foundation will never get a movie or tv adaption
why live?
He would be a pretty good fit. Better than Necksnapper or Necksnapper 2.
>foundation
>a bunch of idiot scientists (what) establish a meritocratic technocracy with the help of a man who accurately predicted the future, then ensured the techniques he used to predict the future died with him.
>the rest of the book is "we encountered a predictable and easily solved problem, and did the obvious thing!"
or did I miss something
>people still talking about one of the most overrated sci-fi books of all time
Guys, guys... read more sci-fi. plz. It was average at best
He was RAPING Frank Herbert user, RAPING him with LOVE
what are you talking about?
thats some fine Cheney ass
He says its a fake. He's also supposedly quite fond of showing the real storyboard script off to people at parties, so I'm not sure why he'd lie about it.
Personally I think Dune already has a great adaptation in the mini-series. some people have this irrational hatred towards it for reasons I don't understand aside from nitpicks like the CG looks a little dated. Otherwise it has huge amazing sets, great use of colour, imaginative art direction / costume design / choreography, it's well cast with differing accents which a ten thousand year empire spanning the universe would have. If anyone wants to watch Dune, then just watch this, preferably the Director's Cut to see Chani's big titties.
Was so excited when I finally got around to reading it, because it's apparently "lotr of sci fi", but I fucking hated it. Paul is such a shit protag and the conflict never managed to captivate me. Why is it so praised? Does it get better with the sequels?
>the rest of the book is "we encountered a predictable and easily solved problem, and did the obvious thing!"
>who is The Mule
Did you even read the books?
>It needs to be a series, HBO is the only one I trust
After the travesty that GoT quickly became, I'd rather nobody even try to adapt Dune and especially not HBO...
>>Jodorowski
>His Dune was a joke. He literally said he was "raping Frank Herbert".
I own this miniseries on dvd and love it. Roman bread is a badass
...
He becomes a sand worm hitler who lives forever
its praised because paul isn't a superbadass, hes actually a pretty huge shit, and comes to realize how huge a shit he is/was, and how his realization of how huge a shit he was doesn't stop the shit he sets into motion. But how huge a shit he is is nothing compared to how huge a shit everyone else is. How bad shit could've been had he been the exact type of shit the people who made him wanted him to be.
His basic argument is any act of true love/passion has to be rape. Not "I waited till you passed out then stuck my dick in you" rape, but "I couldn't restrain myself and fought you to the ground, tore off your clothes, and fucked you like a whore in a public place, damn the consequences" rape.
Even if they did make it and it was good it wouldn't actually be good it would be reddit.
>all these bandwagoneers that don't realize that Lynch's Dune is better than the novel in every way
>tfw no great ass female Muad'dib gf
>its better because it misses the entire point of dune and makes paul into an objective hero
nah
I'm betting on a got- style HBO tv show
that would be cool
I'd pay for that
lynch himself said it wasnt that good
fuck off weeb, anime is cancer
lynch hates most things.
Wasn't GoT getting worse over time because they were running out of source material? A lot of stuff I thought they didn't do well at where parts that was stuff in the newer books.
this makes sense
maybe they don't want to do it because we already know how it ends
It might have more to do with how dune ends being completely and totally unfilmable than the fact people know how it ends.
just give it to lucas
It wasn't so much that they ran out of source material, they just chose to either 1) cut out the characters and sub plots of some stories and rush through them, of which Dany's story is easily the worst offender in the early seasons, and still even now and 2) they either muck it up by having characters doing things that don't make sense for them to do (Littlefinger giving Sansa to Ramsay instead of just doing the entire Winterfell story from the books that could have easily lasted a season). So it's a mess of fan fiction and poorly thought out decisions that have made it a mess where people say 'oh they're running out of material'.
Well no shit, they took huge universe within the books alone (never mind the expanded lore from AWoIAF) and decided to ignore most of it to push Dany's story forward. Season 1 was close to being a masterpiece despite some of the small changes. Small changes are acceptable. But as a series go on, they ALWAYS veer too far from the material on HBO. One need not even look at GoT for this, but True Blood as the largest example. The entire fae subplot dropped shortly after being introduced, Zombie Vampires in the last season??? Bill becoming Lillith????
have you not heard of the miniseries? it has been already been done.
I'd rather give it to my dog. He wouldn't maul it as badly and he definitely wouldn't shit on it.
people actively try to forget about the sci-fi channel miniseries.
I was memeing.
Why? It's fantastic. See
I just wanted to compare george lucas' directorial abilities to a dog.
we are talking about new, modern, decent shit here
The only thing I remember about it were the montage sequence shots that were taken at a sears photo studio with a generic desert backdrop in a small sandbox.
>I was memeing.
i am appalled by the fact someone can actually type these words
what else do memesters do? but meme.
You have to make some concessions given it was for TV in the year 2000 but it's a fair bit larger than a Sears Photo Studio and as I said earlier, most of the sets are huge but regardless everything else is superb. Watch it again.

>It would be insanely difficult
you're a big guy
The first and second books could probably be adapted tolerably well but the third gets a bit introverted and woo woo and God-Emperor, the payoff for everything before it and easily one of the best science fiction novels ever, is basically a five-hundred page character study slash civics essay. Heretics and Chapterhouse are basically an extended epilogue showing that the power of love keeps the Golden Path moving.
Also the whole pseudo-muslim thing and the fact that pretty much all of the main characters are white would ensure that it would never emerge from planning intact because people on all sides of the aisle would go ape - muslims would go nuts because it's very clearly not muh islam, conservatives would go nuts because it "glorifies religious extremism" and the left would screech about muh cultural appropriation and muh whitewashing - and if they changed it, the fans would get upset and it would have no legitimacy.
Just let it go, man.
can't call whitewashing on a culture which won't exist until thousands of years in the future.
If leftists used logic then they wouldn't be leftists.
>take 19th century pulp fiction about a ruggedly handsome white man traveling to savage land to live amongst noble lion chasers, mountain goat herders, and backwards thinking Ching Chongs, trying to learn of their culture despite how much it clashes with his proud white rugged heritage, while also wooing an idyllic, curious, savage princess
>turn ruggedly handsome white adventure into a ruggedly handsome white starpilot
>turn nignog plains and jungles into BleepBlorp's whacky space grassland and space bog
>paint the princess green, but not too green as to make it impossible to mentally fap
>someone makes a good planetary romance
>implying
It's literally the male version of supermarket copy paste shit rags that late 80s - early 90s women bought because there is a muscly lad with a square jaw on the cover and partially exposed man nipples.
No, I'm not a capeshit fan, I read actual books you shit genre defending pleb.
Spoiler: You will never look like Fabio, no matter how much you want to identify with the protagonist of your shitty book.
That's just the Lynch movie but dumber. Any idiot can adapt popular literature by cutting out any unique or problematic detail to make it safe and boring enough for general audiences to easily digest, then forget about a week later.
Just look at Ender's Game.
I love Dune but it's been shittily adapted too many times. How about HBO Adapts another poltical science fiction with an epic feel to it like Red Mars or River of Gods?
