Considered by many to be unadaptable due to its length and complexity, Frank Herbert's science fiction epic Dune has made it to the screen about every two decades. David Lynch was the first director to successfully make a film adaptation in 1984, but his version of Dune was heavily criticized for numerous reasons. John Harrison's 2000 television miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune was a success for the Sci-Fi Channel and won Emmys, yet has mostly been forgotten. Meanwhile, Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film Dune: Part One won Oscars but only adapted the first two-thirds of the book, leaving viewers waiting for the conclusion.
Each director expressed concern with staying faithful to the world's bestselling science fiction book while attempting to bring to life its characters, settings, and story. But in the end, how faithful were they to Frank Herbert's 1965 masterpiece?
