...I can see why most Hollywood writers/producers/execs ect. aren't all that interested in adapting the entire saga. Once you get to the "dude attaches leaches to himself to (somehow) become a sandworm" part, most movie goers are probably gonna check out lol

It's probably good to read the first 2-3 books to get Paul's complete story. I assume that they may stop after Dune Messiah for the movies because Paul goes off into the desert to die. Good cinematic ending. I wonder if Messiah will be two movies..would make sense to flush the story out.

So in short: If they continue to make all the books into movies, Jason Momoa will make a lot of money and have a lot of intimate scenes with many women. :D

Looks like the Houses of the original Dune don't play any part beyond Book Two.

Honestly, after "Dune: Messiah" , for me anyways, it's no longer "Dune" (even if "Children of Dune" has Paul in it). . Maybe it's because to me it seems like the guy didn't know how to end a story so he kept on changing the goal post, but Dune 3,4,5,6 sound stupid. Maybe they are the best books ever written, but, they are different story riding in the popularity of the name "Dune".
