I have no idea what to expect from this upcoming new Dune movie, but it occurred to me that if someone wanted to do a totally faithful adaptation of that book, they would need to reproduce the effect of all the epigrams and background material in the chapter headings. So the movie would be interrupted every 10 minutes by an interview or a fake documentary or a propaganda message. Except they don't have broadcast media in Dune, everything's in writing, so it'd actually just be someone sitting there reading all that stuff to us. Denis Villeneuve, feel free to steal my idea—it can't fail!
