Dune Remake 2020
Just saw this and got really excited. The book will always be better than the film, but this looks rather promising.

Jason Mamoa is in it, which means I'll be seeing it.
Read the book somewhat recently, but am having a hard time remembering important plot lines.
Looking forward to it. Frank Herbert wrote good stories for being a lefty.
Well, I know the "real" Herbert fans absolutely HATED it, but I've always been a fan of the 1984 David Lynch/Dino di Laurentiis version.
The story was a complete mess, but VISUALLY the movie was stunning. The costumes, the sets and the overall "feel" of it was just incredible for its day. Overacted and hammy? Absolutely but that's exactly what that kind of story should be.
I particularly liked the depiction of the planet Giedi Prime, home of House Harkonnen. The dark, sinister "steampunk" look of it (long before steampunk was even a thing) was just mind blowing.
I read the book AFTER I saw the movie and honestly, didn't like it all that much. It was way too complicated to keep track of all the different threads running through it.

I read the book well before I saw the first movie, then read it again after. It would be impossible to tell the story in one movie, maybe in four to five movies. The movie gave me “faces” to see when I read it again. The book is best enjoyed when you can have at least a couple of hours to dedicate to it, especially when you first start. It is a science fiction classic, a great read.
I am sure the new attempt will be good and who knows, it may do Herbert honor. I am looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

Ugh. Watched the original movie on the front row of the theater. My neck hurts just thinking about it.
I loved the book and the 1984 movie. I am also a fan of villeneuve's work. Lets hope the soundtrack is half as good as Brian Eno's one
