id have hoped for a director with more sci fi experience personally, 1 movie will never be enough to give the full feel of Dune and its "wheels within wheels" political landscape.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

I have on VHS (three VHS cassettes in fact) the Dune with Sting starring, and while it is an ok movie, I do think Dune deserves to be made with more and better resources at use. I hope this new one will be such :)

The problem is that it isn't really suited for a movie.
Kind of like the foundation stories.

the dune movie with sting in it is a rather castrated version of the books.
