Yeah it is a hard series to explain .. and keep in mind the books don't follow conventional timing, the events of the last two are thousands of years past the events of the first three.

Its a bold project, looking at humanity tens of thousands of years from today, and the resulting complexity of the series is warranted I think

Ive got the complete dune encyclopedia at home, which is extremely handy to have when understanding the Dune universe. If you guys do end up reading it and have any queries I can look them up for you.

The mini series and children of dune mini series are factual as the books go - the Lynch film is based on the Dune book, but much of it is different.

An accurate remake could be done with todays CGI that would be amazing
