New Dune miniseries

I agree. Dune is my favorite science fiction book of all time. I don't really care for the rest of the series, though.

I thought the mini-series wasn't too bad, but David Lynch's Version was the worst movie I have ever seen. To really do Dune correctly in movie form, I think it would have to be a trilogy (like the Lord of the Rings (which should have been a septology - a movie for each "book"). But I doubt this would be attractive to any of the major studios, so we'll probably never see it. We do have the book, though, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet read it.
