I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but Star Wars took a lot of ideas from Dune to the point where the writer of Dune seriously considered sueing Star Wars

Magy/Laura, Frank Herbert wrote the original Dune novel in 1965 (5 sequels followed), and it was an inspiration for George Lucas in the creating of the Star Wars movies. I'm sure you noticed the all star cast: Tim Chamalet (Wonka) as Paul Atreides, Josh Brolin (Thanos), Stellan Skarsgard as the Baron (Erik Selvig), Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight), Javier Bardem (Skyfall), Rebecca Ferguson (MI 5 & 6), Zendaya (MJ), J. Mamoa & others. Denis Villanueve is the director and he is a cinematographic genius and has made Arrival and one of my favorites, Blade Runner 2049. Glad you enjoyed it, your reactions were tops👍.

There are precious few movies based on books that succeed in truly bringing the books to life. Lord of the Rings would be one of them. Harry Potter would be another. And this movie, Dune, would be on that list. This was one of the few movies that took what Frank Herbert had written and put it on the screen in a magnificent way, in all its grand scope and scale. The filmmakers should be proud, they did a great job bringing Dune to life.
