NeoDevilbane Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 OK, forget about the new Dune Messiah/Children of Dune tangent mini coming out soon.Which stand-alone book or books do you think would make a good mini-series and why? What about the prequels by KA/BH... do you think they would even be worthy of the silver screen treatment (to be fair, assuming all 6 Frank Herbert books were adapted and there was no more FH canon material to go off of)?- Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I think that house corrino should be made a movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 the prequels would only do some sci-fi movie like so much elses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 so?? I love science fiction, best type of movie there is... and isn't the Dune movie sci-fi anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 don't thin it looks like a "real" sci-fi movie.... and I don't like the movie anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDevilbane Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 The 3+ hour version of the Lynch movie is OK... it has the scene with the "little maker," touches upon Paul's child, and the whole 10 minute nararrated prologue that (replacing the Irulan monologue in the beginning) even touches upon the Butlerian Jihad (we see what these "cymeks" or whatever look like).As Lynch has said... he didn't have "final cut" of the movie because the insurance company or whatever took over, so we can't entirely blame him for the film we saw. Granted, there were things we *can*, however, blame him for... the wierding modules (although Frank Herbert *did* approve of them, I've read in numerous places), the Baron, etc.. It's the guy that did Fight Club, for god's sake - give the guy some slack.And Dune as a whole doesn't really fit into any particular genre, IMHO... while it may be the greatest sci-fi epic ever, it still leans in many ways precariously close to fantasy. Would one consider Star Wars sci-fi simply because it has spaceships and laser pistols here and there? I wouldn't.- Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Ender's game is going to be made a movie!! I just read the news. Its so cool. Also Worlds of the Wall would make a good movie. EON would too. Destination: Void also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
