Dune = a glorious entertaining mess
Yes, I think that pretty much sums it up.

I like some of his work, wouldn’t go as far as to say I was a ‘fan’.Are you a fan of David Lynch generally? If so its worth watching on those terms, and the cast is to die for.
Do we know if the second part is officially green lit?

They'll presumably split the movies at the 2 year interval in the story, which is two thirds through the book. However, there's plenty in the last third to make a whole movie of.If the first movie is a standalone epic then I'm guessing the second movie will cover events from Dune Messiah and Children of Dune combined.
Nothing much happens in the second book until you're two thirds in. That's why I'm thinking the second movie will combine book two and three.They'll presumably split the movies at the 2 year interval in the story, which is two thirds through the book.

I'm referring to three Dune books I read during the 70's:I'm not sure if you are referring to the three 'books' within the first Dune here, or if you are referring to the actual sequel books

As far as I can see Liet's role in the story isn't contingent on gender. Paul's and Jessica's (for example) absolutely are. So no harm done really.
Of course the director wants more women. It's a very male-heavy cast and, lets be pragmatic about this, Dune needs all the help it can get. It's a story with niche appeal and to be successful we need more women watching. A more balanced cast could help with that. It's good business sense. I'd only object to that if it compromised the story, and I honestly don't see how this will.
Oh I see what you mean. I never considered the two movies covering the events in the first book alone. There is a lot going on in the first book and spreading the plot over two movies would prevent the shortcomings with Lynch's Dune, where some plot points were rushed and treated at a superficial level. I'm not sure there's enough there for two 'Epic' movies though.Ah ok. I am referring to just the first book. There is a logical place in the first book where the story jumps 2 years ahead. This is where I am saying the two new movies will presumably split.
Turning Liet Kynes into a woman or depicting many or some Fremen as black doesn't bother me in the slightest. And there has never been a true screen adaption of a book, ever, as they are different mediums. Personally I always find the books better, but still enjoy the films interpretations of them.
