      It’s so insanely unsuited to adapting it in a way that fits with the current trends of blockbuster moviemaking. The way that it’s structured, as a series of dialogues, makes me want to see it adapted in a weird arthouse theater way, like Dogville. If it gets made, I assume it will just focus on Jason Momoa action scenes.

      The only thing I demand from God Emperor Of Dune on the silver screen is a long, loving, nearly pornographic depiction of Jason Momoa rock climbing.

        Dune in the style of French New Wave. Just a bunch of mundane conversations laden with layers of metaphor and subtext, and a bunch of unhinged, non-diegetic cuts to paintings and ordinary household objects as puns and visual metaphors for the dialogue.

        The movie will run four and a half hours and only about fifteen minutes of it will not involve someone monologuing at length.

          I think this would work particularly if every aspect of it is taken super seriously as an arthouse project, but Jason Momoa is directed to act like a big dumb action hero and filmed accordingly.
