Watching the OG.
Jessica is foine.

Young Virginia Madsen made me go full Brent Musberger. Sean Young aint no slouch, either. Seeing them on the big screen back in the day would be worth the price of admission. Hell, Sting would make it move a bit.

Sorry for the bookfag bump but I just finished reading Dune: Messiah. That could be a really cool movie, and I hope they don’t make the Hobbit mistake and try to break it up into two movies (it’s half the length of Dune). 
 
I had heard the books fall off in quality: are any of the rest worth reading? I kinda liked how this one ended. 
Man, I don't know. I just finished Messiah myself, and I don't see the action of the first novel/movie. I can see that turning some folks off.

It feels very much like Prophecy. Fortunately, I really liked Prophecy.

Awesome, awesome ending. Also Paul losing his eyes could be a really cool sequence. But yeah… no giant battle sequences.

I suspect they'll Hollywood it up and bit and insert some action that doesn't actually occur in the book.

There's plenty of battles referenced and alluded to from the Fremen. I think them seeing an ocean for the first time during their war will have to be included.

Yeah that’s the big obvious set piece that would be cool to see.

Smart way to get around not having a bunch of action without "making stuff up" is just actually show stuff that was mentioned.

Still though...it's more a toned down ending and book overall than the final act of Dune(Dune 2 in the movie sense) so yeah I could see a separate set of fans loving it for being more "grounded and not huge special FX battles" while others are more like "wish we could get more"

 

Children of Dune has even less action IRC

Should have gone with "Dun3"
