Dune

[Josquius]

I just saw a video about Dune 1. One of the best games ever.
And they're making a new movie.
So lets have a Dune thread!

Merged all the games into one and the movies and TV into one.

What's the order in which you experienced the series?

[The Larch]

My option is not in the polls. 

Live Action -> Games -> Book.

My option is not in the polls. 

Live Action -> Games -> Book.

Knew I'd make a mistake. Doh

[Valmy]

I played Dune first. Then Dune 2. Then I saw the Lynch Film. Then I read the book. Then I saw the 2000 Sci Fi miniseries.

[Maladict]

- Dune 2 when it came out in '92
- Most of the original books (maybe all, can't remember) in the mid 90s
- The movie around 2000 or so

Nothing else since then.

Re-read the first book a couple of years ago, still enjoyed it but not as much.

I got the book in my early teens. I was beginning to discover sci-fi at the time, and I got Dune out of reputation, but it was probably still a tough ask at my age and I disliked it, wasn't able to finish it. Shortly afterwards I got addicted to the first videogame - which I used to replay over and over after computer science class (my home computer wasn't able to run it), but that didn't prompt me to go back to the book. Then in my early 20s, when I was at film school, I watched the Lynch movie and that made me finally go back and finish the book - which by then I was able to fully appreciate.

This poll has more options than we do posters. 

[The Larch]

My option is not in the polls. 

Live Action -> Games -> Book.

Knew I'd make a mistake. Doh

Too many options with repeated terms.  There are two sets of "Book -> Live Action -> Games".

[Caliga]

I have sadly never read any of the Dune novels but they've been high on my list for years.  So Live action -> games.

[Savonarola]

Movie (Judas Booth "Director's Cut") -> Movie (Lynch Theatrical Release) -> Book

So it got better every step of the way for me.   

[Delirium]

First book, about four times in a row - David Lynch video release - Second book, two times - Avalon Hill boardgame. Never played it as a computer game, and never read beyond the second book.

[Oexmelin]

Movie - Dune 2 video game - Dune 1 video game - Book - Sci-fi Miniseries

What we know so far about the cast of Dune 2020:
Rebecca Ferguson - Lady Jessica Atreides
Timothee Chalamet - Paul Atreides
Oscar Isaac - Duke Leto Atreides
Stellan Skarsgard - Baron Vladimir Harkonnen
Josh Brolin - Gurney Halleck
Jason Momoa - Duncan Idaho
Javier Bardem - Stilgar
Charlotte Rampling - Reverend Mother Mohiam
Zendaya - Chani

[Valmy]

Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho? That is...not really what I had pictured 

[Agelastus]

Book first - my mother's copy; I starting reading a number of the books from her bookshelf when I was aged 9 or 10.

Then the David Lynch film, which I saw at a friend's birthday party; looking back it does seem surprising that the parents would consider it suitable for showing to nearly a dozen kids even 30 odd years ago. But then again, another year I can recall they found the fourth "Planet of the Apes" movie to be suitable fare for their kid's party...*

Since I went to a different school to all of them at 11 this has to have been back in 1985 or, more likely 1986.

I've never played any of the games, and I don't believe I've ever watched the miniseries' all the way through.

*I believe everyone cheered the apes during the uprising IIRC.
