Dune is so deep I kind of wish they had went the Mandalorian route.
Take it slow, shoot for 100 hours of high quality story telling, give people time to enjoy the characters.

I don't know what you mean. Also don't walk rhythmically, it attracts Krayt dragons.
Though SW does present itself in a more fun and relaxed manner, I'm sure Dune would take itself more seriously if it were possible, but it probably actually isn't by the laws of physics.
Anyway, there's a few stories and books that had the impact and that influenced a lot of things to follow, but which are difficult to actually translate to a successful movie franchise. I mean one of the advertising slogans or quotes they used in Dune's promotional material was that it would go toe-to-toe with Lord of the Rings and Star Wars both. I think everyone that has read the books knows it wouldn't be able to.
He's only directing the pilot episode.
Taking a deep book and turning it into a single movie seems to not work. Enders game: I'm looking at you.
The real question is Dune or the Prequels... I do like the expanded universe, personally.
I've seen some good reviews and look forward to it more now knowing it's not just 2.5 hours lol
Lord of the Rings was a dedicated labor of love and is IMO still the (set of) films ever made. The Hobbit was a cynical attempt to try and cash in on LotR's success and mindshare, but it was doomed to fail from the start for not having the same team and amount of creative control behind it.
In hindsight, I wish Peter Jackson was allowed to make The Hobbit first, then the LotR trilogy as we know it. The Hobbit could have been a film that never needed the huge budget it got in the end.
