Dave Bautista, a known worthless libbie communist is in this. I will stick to the original.

I highly recommend any audiobook versions over this SJW trash. Of course Kngfish will be there opening night, mouth agape, like a good little soy bugman.

Close to the book? It is literally scripted to be:
House Harkonnen & Spacing Guild = Evil Nazi White Supremacist Colonist
House Atreides & Fremen = Good Judeo Multicultural Saviors of Arrakis.

And to keep Paul from being a “great white hope” savior of the people of color, he is portrayed by a Jewish actor.

It’s all so tiresome.

House Atreides is a descendant of Agamemnon. That makes them of Greek descent, obergruppenfuhrer

@Kingfish,
They are descendants of the Titan Agamemnon, a Cymek.
Go read The Butlerian Jihad, Kingfish.

Reading Frank Herbert is like reading Tolkien or Faulkner. Its dense. It would take a 10 year mini series to do the Dune saga justice

The original books written by Frank referred to the original Agamemnon.

I have the prequels and let's just say I don't consider them to be Dune Canon.


Oh, and the Fremen were Moslems or Moslem descendants. That will make your head spin.

The Fremen are the descents of “Buddhislamists” and their race is ambiguous.

little known fact: Herbert and L. Ron Hubbard were brothers

Dune always reminded me of a scifi “Lawrence of Arabia” which was released in theaters 3 years before Dune was published. Melange always seemed like an allegory for oil and the Fremen were the allegorical Beduins who united behind TE Lawrence, who was from a very wet place called the UK.

You gotta love Kingfish. He goes for the balls and doesn't look up.

Interesting comment, 1:51. Can you fit in the Bene Geserrit?(Probably misspelled, but I'm feeling lazy.)

It's been discussed here before, that 'Dune' requires a serial treatment, a la 'Game of Thrones'. I still agree with that, but I'll take what I can get. I liked the trailer.

Any release date given yet?

@2:42
I don’t know that the Bene Gesserit came from Lawrence of Arabia. However, I suspect that the Ottoman Officer who raped/tortured TE Lawrence probably inspired the Baron. Interestingly, the actor who played the Turk was the same actor who played the Emperor, Jose Ferrar.

And I believe Kingfish misunderstands 12:40 PM. This Dune is being twisted into a SJW/CRT allegory of modern politics. And the characters are being reimagined not because it improves the story. It is being done to appease some sort of heavy-handed requirement for inclusiveness that was not part of the novel.

And you know this how? You've seen the movie or read the script?

5:33 Sorry to inform you, but that's the way they make movies. Always have. Actors who are hot are cast even if they don't conform with the original work, contemporary themes and values are blended into the screenplay wherever possible. Hollywood uses the original material only as much as it suits them, and appeases the fans of the original work. Hopefully we will be appeased.

Jesus H Christ, just watch the damn movie and have a good time. Go to B&B and watch it in the MX4D theater. Get a movie and a ride.

@9:47
Please explain that last Ghostbusters movie.

9:39 That last Ghostbusters movie is a great example.

@11:12
But it bombed and was universally hated except by reddit/twitter SJWs who couldn't buy enough tickets to fake a success.

1:17: You are correct.

As for not liking a particular actor, considering he is playing the villain, you can feel good about hating him while you watch the movie. You're supposed to hate him. Now you have extra motivation to do so.

@Kingfish
I am not going to give my hard earned money to the worst examples of humanity in all of human history.... Hollywood.

Go watch your Hollywood action movie adaptation. But know this... Melange is a powerful drug. And Paul Mua'dib becomes a Melange junkie. So addicted in fact, that his children are insane and incestual. And eventually Mua'dib, blind and obese from the lethargy of dreamwalking, is transformed into Shai Hulud. Similar to the Spacing Guild Navigators.

I only hope it's better than that 1980's flick.

'And to keep Paul from being a “great white hope” savior of the people of color, he is portrayed by a Jewish actor.'

oh wow
