It's an adaptation of a book. And there's a lot of stuff going on in that first book. Most people are not up for a 5 hour movie.
Maybe not, but why not just make it a series at that point? Or end it in a way that has some closure, with potential for a future movie. Like we've done for decades.
There is potential for a future movie. People have been suspecting they'll do a trilogy if not more. There are a lot of books.
The books are just long and substantive, hence Part 1 and Part 2.
Which you'd think would be perfect as a series, give each topic and episode the room it needs to breath.
I mean, not necessarily, especially with how utterly shit many show adaptations have been lately. You can count the good ones on one hand while the bad ones keep piling up.
They tried a Dune show once too, and it didn't do super well. Not sure who has the TV rights to it now, but clearly WB has the movie rights and exercised them.
When done well there's nothing wrong with a good movie, let alone a series of movies. Dune has been handled very well so far too, in my opinion.
I don't disagree with you. What I'm saying is that I prefer movies not to end on a huge cliff hanger, I feel as though we are going to see a lot of movies be cancelled in the near future due to the SAG/AFTRA strike, meaning that we are going to have a lot of very incomplete stories.
