An epic sci-fi novel. A classic struggle of good versus evil, of the oppressed versus the powerful, of nature versus humanity, of David Lynch versus the studios. We give you Dune! Or, at least, our remake of the 1984 version directed by Lynch and widely panned as being A Bad Movie. Which is too bad, because the novel is really good, the story of how the movie ever got made in the first place is intriguing, and the 2021 version is a sight better than this. Still, we are placed here for one purpose, and that is to theoretically remake movies. And thus, we fulfill our purpose.
