Dune: Book, Movie, Miniseries.
cybersmurf:
Given the amount of well known actors in this means either the script is quite good, or they spent too much on actor manpower and the book adaptation sucks hard.
In the meantime I managed to finish the first book. My imagination of Duke Leto is somewhat taller and more slender than Oscar Isaac, but he might pull it off.
What I am wondering about: the first book didn't exactly have a proper ending, but not like a cliffhanger. It's quite apparent the author had more story to tell, and I wonder whether they'll continue if these movies prove to be successful.

Read Dune Messiah and Children of Dune if you must, but I recommend you read no farther. I slogged through God Emperor and bounced off of Heretics.
Torlek:
Having admittedly only read synopses of the books, everything after God Emperor just strikes me as unnecessarily dragging out the end.

Yes, Rebecca Ferguson (36) totally looks old enough to be Timothée Chalamet's (24) mother... :roll:
Of course Francesca Annis didn't look old enough to be Kyle MacLachlan's mother either in David Lynch's adaptation. The basic problem is that movies invariably cast actors who are far too old in the role of Paul Atreides, who was sixteen when House Atreides took over the fief of Arrakis. Lady Jessica was thirty-seven at the beginning of the first novel, so Ms Ferguson is fine, but Mr Chalamet not so much.

Look at spiderman. Until Tom Holland, you had actors WAAAAAY too old for portraying a teenager.
