I don't know. My feeling on the newest version is that part 1 was a good retelling that was pretty close to the source material, and part 2 deviated in ways so disappointing that I will probably not waste my time on part 3 or whatever the next installment is named.
That was a great piece. Thanks.
The first Dune was really gross compared to the last couple of Dunes; haven’t seen the new one… But the 1st one is gross… Which made it interesting to watch…

Villeneuve somehow managed to tell less story in more time. He should direct moody scandinavian thrillers where everybody dies, not space operas.
I forgot about the De Laurentiis role in the 1984 film. His work - particularly in Flash Gordon - seemed cheesy and out of date to my early teenage eyes when the movie came out. And I thought sci-fi airbrushed Econolines were cool at the time.
