I'm curious to see how many of the Dune books they'll adapt into movies. As long as the box office numbers are good, they'll obviously keep going, but Herbert's books become more and more like a drug-fueled, psychedelic fever dream. Let's see how that translates to the silver screen.

I think Children of Dune is more approachable than Dune Messiah personally. But yeah after that it starts getting real weird real fast.
