Dune: Book, Movie, Miniseries.
LeeC:
They have announced a Dune movie slated for 2019. As of right now it is in pre-production with Timothee Chalamet to be Paul and its to be directed by Denis Villeneuve (The Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario).
I still cannot get through the David Lynch movie so I hope it does better than it. I liked the SciFi mini series (if only they had better production) and loved the book. I hope this one does well and honors the book.

Bless the Maker and all his water.

So much wrong with the Lynch movie. Like "weirding" being a physical weapon that gives the Fremen an advantage in battle. It was enough for me that they grow up in the harshest environment and are totally badass as a result (as are the Sardukar).
And Paul literally MAKES IT RAIN at the end, never mind that he's just killed all the sandworms and destroyed the spice forever :oops:
The miniseries is far superior to Lynch's abortion, though the definitive version is of course the novel. I made it through the first four and there's a definite perceptible decline as one continues.
And I have no great opinion of Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert riffling the corpse for loose change.

I'm interested in this, so I'll chime in for now by saying that I've read the first Dune book only.
