Baron von Eevl posted:What sticks out to me was when Maiden wrote a song about Dune and contacted his estate about using the name, the response was something like "my father hated rock and roll, but the kind of rock and roll he hated most was heavy metal. And of all the heavy metal, the kind he hated the most was Iron Maiden." https://norselandsrock.com/to-tame-a-land-iron-maiden/ George Orwell's estate similarly rejected David Bowie's plan to adapt 1984 as a play. Such a weird attitude to have for works that clearly pay homage to the original work. Worst that can happen is...you almost certainly sell more books?

About what I expected from Hollywood these days with more time spent on beautiful, sometimes self important visuals at the expense of plot and story. I found myself occasionally explaining important parts to my wife like why spice is so important (beyond the blink and you'll miss it exposition) and the motivations behind the Emperor and Harkonnens wanting to kill the Atreides. And while the reason why the reverend mother was pissed at Jessica was explained adequately, I felt we only get the barest touch on Jessica and Leto's tragic sin ("I should have married you"). Given the end-to-end series of pain and tragedy in the book, that's one of the few bright spots that should have had a spotlight. There's also barely any "world". Caladan was just an palace outpost and not near a major city where they could have further used the smart preamble to the book events to explain how beloved the Duke/Atreides are to the people he rules? And contrast that to how the Harkonnens treat people either in Arakis or Geidi Prime. If humanity is just factions of soldier-gangs all the way down...gently caress the Golden Path; I don't see a humanity worth saving. Overall, I don't see how most audiences will latch on to "cut scene: the movie". This book would work much better in this day and age as a streaming series instead of a multipart movie.
