It's been mentioned here before, actually. Not my (appalling) idea.

Way back when the first Star Wars movies came out, they each had two novelizations: the "standard" one and a "young readers' edition" which had all the violent or scary bits edited or excised.

I really do doubt that they would do a Dune movie novelization, but they could do a "young readers' edition".

I wonder if part of the deal is to let Keith write the novelization
in lieu of putting his fingers in the script ?

"Look, you go write the book from the script we give you & stay the hell off the set ..."

I'd imagine they'll want Brian on the set at least once for a promo pic, like Frank did ..

There will definitely be a new Dune Storybook...

This is the place of the HOJ, and you are giving them some awful ideal.

Shut up now!!

I own one of those.

Is it any good?

HBJ I didnt mean it was your sole Idea, just in general the idea terrifies me. It never even crossed my mind, as I said.

I have the storybook from lynch movie also.
Id say its about the level of KJA's reading ability, lotsa pictures:)
Written better than anything he has done also:)
Why doesnt KJA branch out and do the cooking instructions for sides of food boxes, could dictate the hell out of those and still call himself published:)

Shampoo instructions would be more up his alley.

Lather, rinse, REPEAT.

Wait... Are we now suggesting that this is the "Dune" that KJA's read and reread? I think it makes sense, and I'm confused.

That would explain a lot.

It's for little kids.

ok I see what was meant when it was suggested that was KJA's source material then
