To confirm your skills ;D

And who would you make these references to? :D

I've heard on some sites that they may be trying to get the dune prequels (house series) into theatrical movies. So within 3-4 years we could have a set of dune movies to watch. :)

On another note:

In the transcript of the recent sci-fi.com chat with Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert a few new revelations about the future of Dune on film, paper, and even on your computer is revealed!

Concerning the film franchise, Brain says that he believes an animated version of Dune will be along some time, it's merely a matter of when, and also says that the next time we see Dune on TV, it will probably be God-Emperor, as it's the logical choice. However, Anderson also says that they are considering other major film projects based on Dune, which is why we haven't heard anything about the regular TV series for awhile now. They've put it on the backburner until those projects get cleared up. Finally, Brian claims that there will be no Chapterhouse miniseries until he and Kevin finish Dune 7, and 8, because those books will be necessary for such a production.

On to the printed future of Dune, the two authors are now in talks with major comic book companies to create graphic novels based on the Legends of Dune trilogy, and Dune 7 will be two books.

Last, but definitely not least to the denizens of this site, Brian Herbert confirms that new Dune computer games are being worked on as of this moment, but due to some complications he can't say anything more.

Wow, new miniseries, new animated series, new books and games, all confirmed in one single chat. You can read the transcript yourself right here.

P.S. A warning to fan fiction writers: The Herbert partnership ain't very happy with you. ;)

Hello all,

I am new to the board. This sounds like great news. More stuff to play with and spend hard earned cash on.

:)

I do hope that in any future computer games they include more Dune houses from the books: House Vernius, Taligari, Richese, Moritani and Ecaz. At the very least they might be featured as sub-houses ala Emperor Battle for Dune.

Question for you. On www.blackstar.co.uk they offer David Lynch's Dune TV Edition (35 minutes of extra footage) and coming out on October 6th there will be Dune Special Edition released. The special edition is to have a new documentary and new interviews. These DVDs are Region two.

Any idea when or if these maybe released for Region One?

Thanks,

LanceMan
