The last two are more of a basic action-adventure story (by Herbert's series) with random evil nymphomaniac nuns. They are more easily adaptable. I was describing God Emperor of Dune to my friends, about a week ago and they were wondering if I was on drugs, lol I told them I wasn't, but I was pretty sure Frank Herbert was, lol Jace, Extat, Madame deVenoge and Jaenara Belarys 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not easy adaptations and I don’t see them having mainstream appeal in a way the first movie sort of had. They just require a lot of investment in the universe and material to do them justice, a casual viewer is going to wonder what they hell it’s all about and find themselves very bored. You couldn’t turn them into a boys own adventure style movie in a way you sort of can with the first book. If you attempted to make them more mainstream you’d probably remove much of meaning of the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farerb Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Didn't Villeneuve say that he only wanted to adapt Dune and Dune Messiah as a trilogy? Edited March 25, 2023 by Farerb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an incomplete story, the narrative continues and concludes in Children of Dune (you can easily stop there, you don't need to do the latter three books). Doing just Dune and Messiah will leave the story hanging, to a certain extent. Farerb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I think you would need to change Messiah a lot to make it work as the bookend to the story. Maybe it’s possible but it would be quite odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve gotten older I’ve really grown to enjoy GEoD (I didn’t much enjoy it as a tween). It is subtle and misleads the reader in all the right ways. But I agree adapting that to the screen would be incredibly difficult. Edited March 26, 2023 by Ser Scot A Ellison Jace, Extat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 GEoD certainly would be adaptable. One would have to use brains to do it, actually understand what it is about and figure out ways how one can transfer the core elements of the stories to the screen. There certainly are ways to do that in film. Jace, Extat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly are ways to do that in film. I think it'd work best as a ten episode series. You could use it as a transition point from doing Children of Dune as a movie and continuing the rest of the story in 1 hour installments. You open and close each episode with the God Emperor lecturing Moneo or Siona about the attrocities we just spent the middle-parts witnessing. Hear the God Emperor's justifications of his actions, Moneo's capitulating complicity, Duncan's disgust, and Siona's rebellion If I were writing it I'd always start the episode with Moneo being the recipient of the God Emperor's lies, then he puts them into motion over the course of the episode. End each episode with alternating between Duncan and Siona getting the post-facto justifications for what has happened and rejecting them. Duncan internally, Siona outright. It could be done.
