The new Dune is just as long as the '84 version but ends about a third of the way through the story. It looks like the first episode of a trilogy or mini-series but I see nothing online about follow-on episodes.
I found the book confusing when I first read it back in the '60s but the book has several appendices that explain things. Several times I stopped reading the main story to read the relevant appendix. I think Dune could be a good series (more than 3 episodes) but it is (IMO) foolhardy to try to tell the whole story in a movie. There were several other sequel and prequel books based on Dune. Some better than others. The prequels explained how the Dune-era "world order" came to be. -----Original Message----- From: Mercedes On Behalf Of Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes Sent: Friday, October 29, 2021 9:07 PM To: Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com>; Floyd Thursby via Okietalk <okiet...@okiebenz.com> Cc: Kaleb Striplin <ka...@striplin.net> Subject: [MBZ] Dune I am currently watching this new Dune movie that I guess is a remake of the 1984 Dune movie. So far it is about a confusing and boring as the first Dune movie. It has been decades since I have seen the original so maybe I need to try to watch it again for comparison. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
