I knew they would drop the ball on the "official extended edition". Damn them I say, the great Frank Herbert deserves better, and so do the fans of dune.

I can only hope that Brian Herbert And Kevin J. Anderson along with the herbert estate can Make a " New" big screen version of dune close to frank's orginal without taken too many liberties. Special Effects have come a long enough way to do some of the scenes from the books back in the day that would have been too expensive.

Yes I can Remember when Dune was originally released and at the time it was lauded as one of the most expensive films ever made up until that point.
