Don't know a thing about her and I will definitely check her out so thank you for the recommendation. <br /><br />However, Dune is a literary masterpiece as is Les Miserables. It's not being recycled when it was never done right in the first place. It is very challenging and only a few ambitious directors are even mad enough to take it on. This is the K2 of book adaptations.
