He didn't like the rain scene at the end of the movie. He said that if it was ever re-edited, he would try to have that taken out. I believe Frank would have been thrilled to know what sci-fi did with the first three books of the series in their miniseries.
@@scapegoatiscariot2767 The rain scene was a last minute addition forced on the movie by DeLaurentiis (possibly a request by the studio). You can find the original ending online by the name "alternate ending."
In its own self, it is a great movie; ın perspective of Dune books, it is not an ideal adaptation;(but honestly how can someone make a loyal movie adaptation of a novel as complex as Dune?)but it still carries the soul of the Dune world, which I can't say for the later adaptations.
@gooyzit I'm glad he did Dune instead,I mean is it a perfect film,no.But it's a way deeper film than any Star wars.Those are just alot of politic's,and fighting,and are not as cool,or deep.Dune should've also had just as many sequals,or spin off's.
Because of the studio's editing of the theatrical version because of time restraints, and THEN the studio 'listening' but STILL bypassing David Lynch and hiring hacks for a TV extended version, longer in length but butchered. Still leaving out silly things like human relationships with others, what gives a film meaning rubbish like that.
You can't make this book into into a movie. It needs to be a TV show, with the feel of a breaking bad i.e. seriousness, level of acting/dedication. Making this into even a 4 hour movie just seems like milking a cow for too long (bad simile but you get the idea).

From this interview, whatever people might say about David Lynch's Dune, Frank Herbert seems to like it.

@@scapegoatiscariot2767 I think Frank would have loved to see Spicediver's final edit.
I do too.
Frank was overall happy with the film! What an extraordinary experience working together!

Does anybody know if Frank Herbert got to watch Blue Velvet before dying? Because it came out the same year, sadly, I was wondering.

Dune is not a visual book..its an audio book or radio play
