YES!!!! That would be freaking amazing!!!  Even one of the streaming services like Netflix or amazon would be good if they put enough money into it, but HBO would be perfect!  

Would it? I read game of thrones, then could not get into the tv show, just doesn't compare. For good sci fi watch The Expanse, that has the depth and awesomeness of a book. Although I haven't read the books, perhaps if I had read them first the show would not have had the same effect. West world was pretty good though.

I just finished reading the reality dysfunction from Peter F Hamilton, that is some epic (20 hour) movie material. 1100 pages of amazing sc-fi and it's only book one of the Night's dawn trilogy. The problem is, it would take a billion dollars to make lol. Plus movies / tv shows wouldn't know how to deal with affinity and data vising (sort of like telepathy) A picture might be worth a thousand words, but it can't describe thought processes very well. Dune has a lot of internal dialogue, I wonder how it works in this version.

Weird... obviously game of thrones is a hit with a huge audience.  I thought the show was amazing up until it ran out of source material and was still pretty good after that.  It was pretty faithful to the main plot threads of the books...

whatever the case, I don’t think the story of Dune can be told in a couple hours.  There is a huge amount of backstory and politics that need explanations to really understand it.  I don’t think it fits the movie format...
