I did not know this was even being made. Looks great. Anyone know if this is actually based on actual source material? Or is it just a completely new narrative set in the distant past of the books' stories.
Yes and no. Yes it’s based on actual source material, no because the source material is part of the extended universe that the original author’s son has written. His books are a mixed bag and die-hard Dune fans generally do not consider them canon. I’m still looking forward to it as a Dune fan though, and I hope it turns out good.
Close to the source material, with some changes to bring it from page to screen.
