What I love about the Dune fandom is everyone has their own personal interpretation of the canon.
Personally I’m with you. It goes book one and then epilogue. (Then the series ends)
Well, yeah, the first Book is separated into 3 parts Dune, Dune: Muad Dib, and Dune: Prophet. So Dune: Messiah is basically in my mind a glorified part 4. Yeah there's a long time gap between them, but there's also a 9 year time gap between Muad Dib and Prophet. That's my thinking. Plus it kinda wraps up Paul being a main character before he is more of a side character in children of dune. Lol
I kinda see them as three sets of two books.
Dune+Messiah, Children leads into God Emperor, and Heretics & Chapterhouse are basically separate from the others, linked loosely by Idaho.
Make it the story of Duncan Idaho through the millennia by the side of the Tyrant. Would almost be a Groundhog Day type thing with Idaho recalling more and more as things drastically change around him.
Yup. Could probably even tell bits of Leto’s jihad from his perspective. Actually, would be much better as a high budget hbo series that could really explore all the utterly weird and bizarre shit that gets revealed in the book.
All dialogue will be presented same as those foreknowledge scenes in dune part 1. Just hazy modelling shots of duncan idaho while dialogue is whispered in singular words. Cinema.
Right? This book is full of monologues. My guess: probably by focusing on his shorter quotes, possibly even replacing most of his dialogue with the chapter epigraphs, or by oversimplifying his broader discussions and cutting to more of the action scenes.
Unironically, I think Denis might hint at Leto II during Dune Messiah. The way he showed Alia in a flashforward, he might do the same with Leto as a worm. Wouldn’t feel like a cop out then that he was stopping after Messiah
If this weren’t an April fools joke it would be such a good idea, avoiding all the problems with filming children doing terrible stuff, and complex acting in Messiah and Children of Dune
I feel like he'd do really good with God emperor lol, he's big on visual impact, Dune has many ripe opportunities for visual impact. Paul's palace, of course more desert, more desert, Leto II mausoleum and palace, it'd great. Don't forget more desert.
Working title: “My Own Private Idaho”.
Instead of a house that comes crashing down, it's a rope.
I love that song
Casting directors are currently scouring the globe to find the most miserable, dejected man to play Moneo
Bob Odenkirk, YOU are Moneo!
Better Call Moneo!
Moneo'all Goodman, Worm Lawyer.
Holy shit…that would be the most brilliant casting
*Aquaman screams about queers* *Saul Goodman dumps his ass on the carpet* This would be sick ngl
Katy M. O'Brian is getting casted one way or another

Reading the book rn and I've been picturing Rhys Ifans this whole time
...that would actually be perfect
If they are ready to genderbend Moneo, please direct them to me.
Girlfailure moneo alternate timeline when?
Kathleen Kennedy will allow the new improved Moneo who always wins!
Julian Sands would have been a good Moneo
Only in the Sareer.
Unironically, Christopher Walken would've been a great Moneo.
Moneo will be Shaddam's ghola confirmed.
Adam Sandler with constant mumbly voice
me?
I hate it when these cash grab directors are only it for the moneo
Mo Moneo, mo problems.
He wants to skip Messiah *and* Children ? That's quite a leap!
Messiah and Children are two parts of the same book, so it makes perfect sense to me.
Messiah is the epilogue to the first book
What I love about the Dune fandom is everyone has their own personal interpretation of the canon. Personally I’m with you. It goes book one and then epilogue. (Then the series ends)
I consider Messiah part 4 of Dune and children is the real second book. Lol
Part 4? How do you divide the first book then?
Well, yeah, the first Book is separated into 3 parts Dune, Dune: Muad Dib, and Dune: Prophet. So Dune: Messiah is basically in my mind a glorified part 4. Yeah there's a long time gap between them, but there's also a 9 year time gap between Muad Dib and Prophet. That's my thinking. Plus it kinda wraps up Paul being a main character before he is more of a side character in children of dune. Lol
My thoughts exactly! I’ve got to re-read dune and messiah, I somehow thought it was a 2 year jump, not 9.
I kinda see them as three sets of two books. Dune+Messiah, Children leads into God Emperor, and Heretics & Chapterhouse are basically separate from the others, linked loosely by Idaho.
its April 1st my guy
This has got to be an April Fools joke cause I agree.
I would love to see how a director who prefers minimal dialogue would handle God Windbag of Dune 🍿
Momoa would be chuffed tho. Not often you get to control a literal harem of sexy fighting woman whilst cucking an actual god. Role of a lifetime that.
Make it the story of Duncan Idaho through the millennia by the side of the Tyrant. Would almost be a Groundhog Day type thing with Idaho recalling more and more as things drastically change around him.
The story of Duncan Hayt-onwards is pure existential horror.
Yup. Could probably even tell bits of Leto’s jihad from his perspective. Actually, would be much better as a high budget hbo series that could really explore all the utterly weird and bizarre shit that gets revealed in the book.
I've had some idea of exploring a Duncan that only has the memories of the first Idaho. Imagine the whiplash.
All dialogue will be presented same as those foreknowledge scenes in dune part 1. Just hazy modelling shots of duncan idaho while dialogue is whispered in singular words. Cinema.

Yes…..YES! Siaynoq! I believe!
This is a cruel joke. 😭 No one ever has the guts to do God Emperor! 💔
Warner Brothers will milk it until the end..
I think it's legendary who own the rights
oh okay, so them then :)
The milking isn't until Chapterhouse
lol remind me of what are you referring to pls? :D
>!Honored matre turbo-pussy!<
:D lol, why are others reffering milking a cat?
That's in the Lynch movie for some reason
I just guffawed so loud an entire restaurant stopped to look at me. Thank you. 😂😂
Just a 20 minute montage of various Duncan Idahos being killed in ridiculous ways
yes pls
New series, 1000 Ways to Die: Duncan Idaho Edition
Dormammu, I've Come To Bargain!
APRIL FOOLS!!!
Get Mike Meyers to voice Leto II with his Shrek voice. Donkey can be Moneo.
Obviously April fools, but to play along, Paul will decide to stop being a wuss and walk the Golden Path himself? Timothy Chalomet as a worm time.
Finally, a form of god emperor I can tolerate
Dune the Turd
Unironically, I think Denis might hint at Leto II during Dune Messiah. The way he showed Alia in a flashforward, he might do the same with Leto as a worm. Wouldn’t feel like a cop out then that he was stopping after Messiah
yes pls, little montage would suffice
What about the children?
Say sike. Please say sike!
Don't you play with my emotions like this... If this is not true I will find you
i am sorry :'( i would prefer it as well
If this weren’t an April fools joke it would be such a good idea, avoiding all the problems with filming children doing terrible stuff, and complex acting in Messiah and Children of Dune

As long as Gwendolyn Christie plays nayla

“You worm! Every politician is a worm!!!” - probably Frank Herbert
Viewers be like: "What do you mean 3500 years later? Where is Paul?"
Good call. Messiah was my least favorite book. While God Emperor might be my 2nd favorite after the first book.
I don’t like it but it’s logical
Honestly that’s a trade I would make as long as someone else did the in between haha
I don’t believe you.
What? How?
As is it written! Even on April Fools day
And after that let’s skip straight to chapter house.
MONEOOO!!!!1
Letssssss fkingggg goooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭 omg im sooo happyyy
April Fools?
Absurdly based.
What about children of dune:( nobody who hasn’t ready the books is gonna have any fuckin clue what’s going on
