I Found David Lynch's Lost 'Dune II' Script

I have not read the novel, but I felt from the film that it was crystal clear that learning the alien writing system was what gave Amy Adams' character the knowledge her daughter would die.

And yet, when I think about Dune 2021, I feel like it lacks a lot of interesting context and explanation from the novel. But I know plenty of people who didn't read it and loved the film. I suspect DV takes more care to lay out the important details than I'm able to perceive knowing the book.

It's not a novel.

It's a 16pp short story. Read it, then reply. It takes about 15min if you're a slow reader!

I feel the same way.

Watched Arrival then read it, and loved the movie.

Read Dune and then watched it. Underwhelmed by the film.
