Dune is a scifi political epic written by Frank Herbert in the 60's and 70's. The main sequence is six books. The first book, Dune, has been produced twice, once in 84 by David Lynch and again in 2000 as a tv miniseries by John Harrison. This upcoming revision is by Denis Villeneuve and is his own vision of the story. The story centers around three of the great families of the universe, House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and House Corrino, and their plots to control the most valuable substance in the universe which is only found on one planet. Spoiler: it's poop.
It's definitely not for everyone. The 84 movie, some theaters actually handed out cheat sheets to viewers to help them understand what was going on. The Extended Edition helps explain better with a 15 minute history at the beginning, but is also over 3 hours long. The miniseries is more faithful to the book, but I don't particularly care for the actor's portrayal of Muad'dib and the whole thing feels like a stage play. The books are not an easy read. I've listened to the first two twice, the third once, and have bailed on the fourth for now. I am planning on tackling the fourth again after I finish the Spellmonger series.
