)So there's an end in sight to all this shit? Thank you, Volcano God!We have two more under contract, which would get us up to 18 or 19, and after that -- I think there might be three more and that would be it.
I never considered Swordmasters to be one of the great schools. Why not Guild of Dune? They chose swordsmen and swashbuckling over mathematics and metaphysics? Sounds about right from these two.So that would be The Sisterhood of Dune, The Mentats of Dune, and The Swordmasters of Dune.
Mentats, neither.Drunken Idaho wrote:Some vaguely good news?

Then again, who knows when the combover will run out of steam?

Neither one of them understands the first thing about the Guild or how travel on a galactic scale worked in the Dune universe. Mostly because they are both dumbasses.Drunken Idaho wrote:Why not Guild of Dune?
Interview: Brian Herbert: The Chronicler Hair of Dune
doesn't all the KJA/BH titles do that? I'd love to attend their brain storming for the titles.Omphalos wrote:I'm still hoping for a title that completely lends itself to ridicule, like Dune: Suks, or something like that.
They didn't. Their publisher, Tor, made them change it from Jessica of Dune. Watching Kevin squirm during that period was quite fun. I really think he hated the impression that someone other than him had some measure of control over the Dune books.nampigai wrote:doesn't all the KJA/BH titles do that?

Winds of Dune... how did they ever come up with that?
Forgot about that part.TheDukester wrote:And don't forget that he also screwed up the Throne thing at the same time, too. He kept calling it Leto to the Throne of Dune.
These are the people in charge of the Dune legacy. It is to weep.

And he keeps on blabbing about that stupid concordance; those two can't even keep their facts straight. I may be a little rusty, but I think I can keep everything straight.Are there any future plans for anthologies of short stories by other authors, done inside the Dune setting?
To do that, it would require a huge amount of fact-checking, so it would be easier for Kevin and I to just write short stories ourselves, as we have. So I'm not sure how we would do that. Kevin and I have a six hundred page Dune concordance that I've prepared, that took about a year, so I know all the page numbers where Frank Herbert described everything. So I'm not sure how another writer would get into all that and figure out all the details.
That at least sounds hopeful.Paramount ultimately has decided to do a classic interpretation of the novel Dune.
Maybe. A classic interpretation may mean looking at it in the same way Lynch did...Slugger wrote:That at least sounds hopeful.Paramount ultimately has decided to do a classic interpretation of the novel Dune.
I think its going to be FH's book through KJA's eyes. But what do I know?SadisticCynic wrote:Maybe.

Gah! That's just repulsive.Omphalos wrote:I think its going to be FH's book through KJA's eyes.
I'd love to sit in on one of the screenwriters' meetings during which the Hacks offered "supervision" or whatever they called it:TheDukester wrote:Gah! That's just repulsive.Omphalos wrote:I think its going to be FH's book through KJA's eyes.
I will admit that it would have one thing going for it, though: it would be the absolute, final, definitive proof that no one understands Dune less than Anderjacket.
Don't get too excited Slugger - in another interview he said "We [Brian Herbert and KJA] gave them a lot of information and our feelings about the need for authenticity."Omphalos wrote:I think its going to be FH's book through KJA's eyes.

"...But, it says right here, on page 1, that Paul was born on Caladan. What's this Kaitain nonesense you're pushing on us?"
Anderjacket: "No, see, according to House Corrino, which is according to this copious amounts of notes that ole Frankkie left behind, his naming ceremony was on Caladan but he was really born on Katain."
"...But, it says right here that Paul was born on Caladan."
"Well, that's just Irulan's interpretation. If you want to get technical, and I know it's hard to follow, which is why Brian had to compile that big consortium of references, that Dune is actually an in-universe text written by Irulan as propaganda."
"Well, can we see this consortium?"
"No."
"Then what about the notes?"
"Uhh...no."
"But it still says right here that Paul was born on Caladan."
"...Talifan."
