So, after reading the book, and watching both film versions, it’s a miracle that Dune was adapted into film, given that the original source material is dense.
The first book is so dense, cramming it into a 2 and 1/2 hour movie would be messy. Splitting the film into 2 parts is a wise choice. I did like that in Denis Villeneuve’s version, the set up of the characters, lore, and politics in the story was clearer than in the book.
I’m curious on how the second and third book will be adapted into films, let alone screenplays because the story goes off the rails.
