Dune: Part Three | Official Teaser Trailer

[payn]

Well the budget for Dune 3 is ballpark $200 million. If you got the cash I am sure they would be thrilled to go for round 4

How are the prequel books?

Are we getting a second season of the Bene Gesserit TV show, which was both good and not.

How are the prequel books?

I have not read them, on purpose.

I have never read anything by Kevin J. Anderson that I considered worth the paper it was printed on. And I tried. A lot more than I should have. Beyond just being bad, his writing could be described as "infantile", which is the last attribute you need associated with Dune novels.

I believe it is slated for 2026 just not sure when. but yes a season 2 is coming.

I read a chunk of the prequels and the couple of sequels.
Overall, I found the House ones (immediate prequels) enjoyable, not at level of Frank Herberts dune books, but nice look into earlier years of characters from the first Dune book (including delving further into the Emperor and Fenring, which i enjoyed).
The prequels going further were less enjoyable, as they tried to show the Butlerian Jihad, and introduced a number of elements they felt were necessary to be able to do the two sequels, but I dont think Frank would have needed to, as wouldn't have created such Deux Ex Machina that Brian / Kevin did to resolve the sequels, and given they wont release Franks notes, it really feels that they came up with their own fan fiction rather than following Franks notes except for a couple of bits that felt like may have been Franks intent but were crow barred in, and got wedded to their own characters that they felt had to return.
Also, for the record Paul is my favourite Dube character, flaws and all, but in the sequels they seemed to want to try and redeem Paul's character from what Frank showed in Messiah / Children / God Emperor, and that really feels counter to Franks intent, as added as it got sometimes.
I havent read the guild novels that led to the Bene Gesserit series though to give a view on how the series will go, I tapped out as they seemed to diverge further and further, but it may be the guild is brought it back as such.

Yeah, the show looks like a million bucks (and probably cost it), but everything about it feels a little off, but in a very enthusiastic "we love Dune" way. Still, I'd rather have enthusiastic near-misses than half-hearted shows, which we certainly have enough of.
