I saw the Lynch version for the first time last year and was surprised to find that it was a faithful and fairly straight-ahead adaptation of the book, hampered by apparently not having shot enough scenes, or else having had the connective tissue edited out by the studio and replaced by voiceover in a panic
There were a lot of scenes filmed that were cut from the theatrical release - the wiki page gets into some of the details. Of all the cut scenes I've always been hoping that the banquet scene would resurface. It's somewhere out there sitting in a vault - I saw some stills at the 1984 Worldcon promo presentation about three months before the release.

with Count Fenring and the rest of that? that'd be great- i reread the book recently and forgot all about that part of it.

in the book paul is like some suburban white kid's wet dream, total mary sue, and harkonnen is so cartoonishly evil that he comes off as parody... with that being said, the world building is fantastic enough to justify adaptations. i think this movie could really be great if the characters get fleshed out. cast is promising, fingers crossed

My favorite thing about "Dune"? There's a character named DUNCAN IDAHO.
Was Herbert munching on breakfast one morning, glancing sleepily at some boxes on the kitchen counter: mashed potato mix here, cake mix there...? "AHAAA!!"

I remember a party in college where my wasted sci-fi nerd cousin learned our friend Duncan was moving to Idaho and lost his shit and nobody else knew what he was talking about or why he was yelling DUNCAN...IDAHO! at everyone.

ok now that they got the cast out of the way, who's doing the production design?
― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Saturday, 16 February 2019 02:59 (five years ago) link
Cast not quite out of the way yet! This is a very inspired call: Dastmalchian playing Piter de Vries.

Can he out-Dourif Dourif though?
― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Wednesday, 20 February 2019 19:29 (five years ago) link
Impossible on the one hand, but on the other, Dastmalchian is a perfect actor to cast in something that requires a Brad Dourif-level of performance, so I'm completely good with this.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 20 February 2019 19:47 (five years ago) link
He can only aspire to a line reading as good as "Their BODies must NEVer be FOUND" with accompanying hand gestures.

BTW answering an earlier question:
If IMDB is accurate, that'll be Patrice Vermette, who worked with Villeneuve on Sicario and Arrival but not Blade Runner 2049.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 10 June 2019 22:50 (five years ago) link
I caught that Dark Tower movie the other night. having never read the books, I thought it was nonsensical garbage, obviously elided and poorly edited. I can only imagine the disappointment of fans of the series.
Anyway I do like the idea of a Sisterhood show, but Brian Herbert is not exactly in the same league as dad.
