I do wish Netflix or Amazon would pick up Dune, as I think the book would translate better as a series ala Game of Thrones. But hey, they're proceeding with the Dune remake and I wish Denis all the best. (Though he got off to a rocky start by saying it would be 'like Star Wars for adults.' I agree with him, but don't upset the nerds, man!).
