I'm still amazed how well they managed to pull off part 1. There are really good reasons why Dune was known as an "unfilmable" franchise. But by Shai Hulud, they fuckin' did it.
It's too much to hope for, but there's not much I wouldn't give to see them continue making more of the books into movies.
Don't wish too far down the line. After the Original author passed away and his son continued on in the series....well let's just say the apple rolled a bit after it fell from the tree.
Who wrote the one that's thousands of years after, about when the god emperor dies?
That would be wild to see.
That's God Emperor of Dune, and Frank Herbert (the original author) was the one who wrote it.
One of the best Reddit comments I ever saw was in response to the announcement that they were considering also adapting the second book. Someone just said "do God Emperor you cowards".
