Yes, I'm sure the book played a part.

Recording 'Dune' as I type ....

Hmm! I was recording this as a lead-in to going to the flicks to see
Dune 2 .... but, as this version was made in 1984'ish, one wonders how
much of a 'lead-in' it will be!!

.... and, having watched it, and not making too much sense of it,
(ObjDrWho) I moved on to a really EXCELLENT ADVENTURE film which
followed two guys (Bill and Ted) as they travelled through Time (not
Space) in a Telephone Box!!

Dune is complete crap. The first book is incredibly boring, the movies
/ TV series are almost as bad ... I gave up bothering with each of them
after about five minutes. I have no idea why fools actually published
26 books* in the series!! :-\


* Six written by Frank Herbert and the rest by his son and Kevin J Anderson.
The one's *not* written by Frank Herbert are said to be different and are
not liked by many Dune afficianados, so maybe they are worth reading and
actually make sense ... but I doubt it.

Well Reddit seems to think making this connection might drum up some
extra trade for Dune part 2.

Aside from the the Tatooine sand-scape, i can't really see this
'influence'. Not visually not theme-wise, nor in the subtext of
either.

There is also "spice", which is a form of mind-altering drug in both franchises - although far more important in Dune. There are also huge sandworms.

On the other hand the 'The Hidden Fortress' by Akira Kurosawa, if you've
seen it, is the undoubted influence for star wars.

George Lucas has always said that was one of the influences, as were
the old movie serials he watched as a kid (Flash Gordon, Tarzan, etc.).

"Dune Part 1" in 2021
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/>
Parts 1 and 2 have been made by Denis Villeneuve who plans to make a
third part. He's basically said that after that it will be up to
someone else to make the rest of the original six book series into
movies.

There was also the "Dune" TV minseries in 2000 and its sequel "The
Children of Dune" in 2003.
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/>
<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287839/>

Then there's the TV series "Dune: The Prophecy" (previously called
"Dune: Sisterhood" and similar names) due later this year. <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10466872/>

Plus a rumoured animated series that so far has no concrete proof of
actually ever being made.

BUT ... they, and the books they're based on, are *ALL* awaful garbage,
so don't waste your time with any of them.
