    It’s been a long (LONG) time since I’ve read past God Emperor, but does anyone feel that anything past that would make for good cinema?

    Note: I never read any he books by Brian Herbert, so maybe some of them would be ok. I dunno.

      God Emperor would make a weird movie, but could probably work as a limited series. In my opinion, the two last books are the ones best suited for adaptation. Especially Heretics has a perfect balance between intrigue, drama, action and sex.

      I’ve never read the prequels either, but a series on the Butlerian Jihad would be pretty fucken sweet I think

        I was in the middle of reading Dune for the first time when I saw The Matrix and my first thought was “Holy shit it’s the Butlerian Jihad”

          “we broke out of Zion and use swords now. We also use aliens high on DMT to fly around space. Overall, things are better”
