You know, I like the novel “Dune”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28novel%29, and I even have some affection for the “1984 film version”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28film%29, as horrifyingly flawed as it was, and thought the “Sci-FI Channel miniseries”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Herbert%27s_Dune was decent (the sequels covering _Dune Messiah_ and _Children of Dune_ were better, IMHO).
But fook, those are all arguments *against* the world needing “another film version of the novel”:http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=3&id=55493.
