Possible Dune remake

[tangaloomababe]

Whitestar I have not read Children of Dune, so I cannot comment on whether I would like to see it made into a film.

I have seen the Dune series, which I enjoyed but not the movie, from all accounts it was a pretty messy sort of movie, not able to convey the book in the short time that it had.

On that point alone one would wonder why they think it can be done as a movie again. Dune is a big book and even the series probably didn't convey the full story and it was a great deal longer than the movie.
Personally my thoughts are "Leave it alone"

Dune is a classic film, although a poor adaptation of the book. I found it a lot more interesting than the miniseries. Having said that, the Children of Dune miniseries (an adaptation of both the Dune Messiah and Children of Dune books), I thought was a slightly better. There is also a Spanish fanfilm of Dune knocking about on the Web. It's 8 hours long, apparently.

I agree that both film an miniseries had their faults. One thing that pleased me was that at least they were very different in their approach and I did not feel that I was watching a carbon copy of the movie when I watched the miniseries.
