The film famously had the 1984 adaptation by David Lynch, which has its fans, but that I personally think is terrible. And then you have the great documentary, Jodorowksy’s Dune, about the Dune movie that was never made. There was also the Frank Herbert’s Dune miniseries that was pretty close to the book, but to a fault since it kept in a lot of the boring parts, too. But there’s hope, since Arrival/Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuves is helming the next version. And if he can’t do it, then I honestly don’t know who can. We’ll see soon enough, I suppose.
