[kwisatz]

For the father, nothing!

I wouldn't mind them taking some inspiration from Schoenherr (again).

Thanks for the Twitter link. This is shaping up quite nicely! I read the novel in 1978 and with each cinematic iteration, another piece slips into place.

Interesting, though it doesn't look like they have the logo itself finalized yet.

Saw that this morning. That surprised me! Wasn't expecting them to branch out before the film actually came out.

Gives me hope that they are feeling very optimistic about the film.

I am a bit worried about Jon Spaihts' involvement, but even still, color me very excited for the show.

I wonder if Dune could potentially become the next big thing post GOT. The source material is fantastic (I still have to read books 4-6, but I loved 1-3), the world is intriguing, and there is a lot of politicking and scheming and, of course, sandworms. It now sounds like WB's plans extend well beyond simply adapting the first book.

It's sounds like Spaith was only involved in trimming down the original script. Kinda the opposite of his role in Prometheus. His earlier Prometheus drafts had some good bits though.

Not so sure about Dune becoming the next GoT, it's probably a bit too "weird" for most mainstream audiences, but you never know. Most likely it will perform similar to the previous two Dune TV series'.

WB probably have big plans if the first movie does well. Take for example Duncan Idaho, he's barely in the first book so casting Jason Momoa (someone that's currently very hot in Hollywood) seems like a waste unless you're planning to delve into the sequels where he becomes a main character.

Incoming from left field!!!  Awesome!  Looking forward to to this.  I read all of the prequels.  I k ow some people dislike them but I really enjoyed them.  Hope they all get turned into one long GOT style series.  There's a lot of heady stuff in there..

Jason finished filming his part in Dune.

1)
Let's hope they bring out the strong FEMALE EMPOWERMENT message inherent in the book, with those POSITIVE ROLE MODELS for little girls. You thought Captain Phasma was a positive role model, eh? Just you wait! This isn't 1965 nor is it 1984 any more!

2)
Is anyone expecting to hear the word 'JIHAD' uttered in this movie?

Is anyone expecting to hear the word 'JIHAD' uttered in this movie?

I don't need it to be uttered explicitly but for sure I'm hoping for some kind of (LSD)sequence depicting a vision of an army of religious fanatics cleansing the universe in merciless ways.

Might even work as a closing scene for Part One.

I admit this kind of portrayal could have been a bit problematic say 2-3 years ago with the IS peaking, its nonetheless a crucial part of the book.
