I will have to try the Brian/Kevin books again. As much as I love the original series, I just had a really tough time staying interested in the prequel books.
I will give it another go.
Quoted from Frax:The writing style is pretty different from Frank's books. That's part of why I tore through those 5 books. It's not quite so dry and heavy.
I just really prefer Frank’s writing style, I guess. Life would be pretty boring if everyone liked all the same things!

Quoted from Pinstein:Okay, no more fan-made bs. Here is the first real deal official trailer. Is it pinworthy?
So, so, so pinworthy. And did you hear the Floyd playing toward the end?
Fear is the mind-killer. Need it now.

Quoted from Makakka:This 19th century old sci-fi style is clearly outdated and the book I remember was more of a philosophical religious take on primitive nomads (fremes) ie boring. I don’t see it having punch anymore and the new movie is sign of the decline of Hollywood and it’s values what a cringe.
Yeah, I pretty much disagree whole-heartedly with this sentiment.
Old sci-fi style is IMO the coolest sci-fi style, and to say Herbert was merely providing some philosophical/religious take on things is no more true of the Dune world he built as it would be if the same was said about Tolkein’s.
That said - it (religion) plays a massive role in the universe he built, but perhaps not in the way you frame it (i.e. just to the ‘primitive’ fremen). Herbert highlights the power structures that all individuals have that form the nucleus of the various groups presented.
I guess I didn’t see anything in the new trailer that struck me as not having punch, showed “Hollywood values”(?), or cringe-worthy.
I agree that a GOT type approach (i.e. play as Harkonnens, Bene Gesserit, etc) ruleset would make sense. My biggest concern would be that the game designers would get too hung up on the sandworm and miss the richness of the Dune universe. If the focus is going to be the sandworms, they may as well just do a Tremors pin.

Quoted from xsvtoys:If I understand it correctly, this new movie is is intended to be part one of two to cover the original Dune novel. So it will end somewhere partway through the story. Then, presumably only if it is successful, they will need to film part 2.
Hopefully (if they’re smart) they filmed both parts already.
Quoted from xsvtoys:If it tanks at the box office and loses money, then it is likely that the one movie telling half the story will sit there dangling forever, adding another chapter to the list of Dune film failures.
IMO relying on box office success alone for Dune movies is a total marketing/sales miss. This IP is ripe for people like us (pins, video games, spinoffs, etc)
Quoted from TheLaw:Ha, its not even box office; ill be watching on HBOMax
(That makes two of us)
