As it is written.

Simple and quick question.

Should I watch the old Sting version first, or is that unnecessary? I.E. Are the modern ones sequels to the old one, building on it?

And how many modern ones are there currently? Just two I think?


The old Sting version does a much better job with the inner dialogue found in the book which is a feature that the new version of the movie nearly ignores.

Watch them both. But READ the book as neither movie dynamically captures the detail and nuance of the characters and story as is often the case when a book is “reimagined” into film.

If you want the most faithful adaptation, ignore the Lynch version and find the 2000 Sci-Fi Miniseries. Despite it's low budget, it's still the most faithful adaptation of Dune out there and the follow up Children of Dune is even better and gives you a peek at what follows Paul's rise to Emperor.
