Reading Sisterhood of Dune in anticipation of this. I don’t see from the trailer but I hope Manfred Torondo is in it. He’s a terrifying villain.
So we are going to run Dune into the ground too are we? Is nothing sacred?
I agree with you, but there are 6 novels just in the original Frank Herbert books. Then you have Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert 11 plus (i lose count but theyre across the room on the shelf, Im just super lazy today) books…Anderson cant use one word when a hundred more will get the point across.
It’s already beaten into the ground. For a few years now, I’ll only read up to God Emperor and then the last 50 pages of Sandworms Of Dune.
I’m rambling now, sorry. I agree with you.
Frank Herbert wrote about Dune. Kevin Anderson and his son did some shit trying to make money. I don’t blame them, especially his son.
Doesn’t seem like they have the same vision or grasp of distance. Bless their hearts, they can’t help it. Anderson, mostly, fuck him He wouldn’t know sacred if it smacked him between the eyes. He can’t find a trail or hunt a purple elephant.
The Dune movie (split in two for profit as always) is an exception, but most of what Hollywood has been spewing out lately is utter crap. I’ll wait for the Drinker’s review.
WTF i had no idea this was a thing, it looks awesome. When does it release ?
Woah what’s this based on or is it all original?
From imdb: “Ten thousand years before Paul Atreides joined the Fremen to lead an uprising on Arrakis to take down House Harkonen, two sisters (Valya and Tula Harkkonen) create the mysterious all-female order called the Bene Gesserit. In Dune Prophecy, the siblings combat forces that threaten the future of humankind.”.
Iirc, 10000 thousand years before Dune was the time of the Butler Jihad, when humankind fought against the thinking machines. So I think it’s a series based on apocryphal stories on how the feudal society in Dune came to be. Lots of creative freedom for the creators, kinda like Knights of the Old Republic was for Star Wars.
… a prequel series inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anders…
Yeah, I’m out.
Inspired by is not the same as based on. I don’t think that it can ever be canonical because the time period was never explored in depth by Frank Herbert himself, but I do think that the what ifs of this time period could make for a very interesting premise.
Either way, the showrunner is apparently Alison Schapker, who was also the primary showrunner for Altered Carbon, which I really liked. So I’m definitely going to give the first episode a chance :)
