My friend lent me the first one when i went to India - fell in love with it so much i managed to source and read the next 4 whilst travelling there (Which was no small feat)
A trilogy is the most they could ever do really, the massive leaps in time and imagination as the series progresses would be really hard to translate well.
I love the David Lynch film, and i'm sure i'll love these.

Here it is boys
Looks a but too corporate lacking the subtleties of Herbert's vision. But maybe that's just the trailer which is meant to get people to watch it and the film itself might be good.

Man, that looks CGI-ed to shit
I always envisioned Dune to be like the original Star Wars but R-rated

Do the books hold up over time?
Thought about trying to read them before the movie, but wasn't sure if they would feel dated (I know there are some newer ones). There is also the issue of having like 10 books or something ridiculous.

Do yourself a favor and read the first two and then you can make up your own mind about it. Really, I hope you enjoi it as much as I did.

It's in a universe where digital technology was all but prohibited so all innovation came along the analog path, and to an insane degree. I read them all at a casual pace over a year or two last decade and didn't feel like they were dated at all. Herbert has a good way of keeping descriptions of technology to a minimum and only using sci fi stuff if it aids the story.
