Tom at the always excellent Comics Reporter points us to the Grantbridge Street blog posting on Marvel’s official adaptation of the movie adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel Dune by Ralph Macchio and Bill Sienkkiewicz. Blue on blue eyes, the Spice, giant worms and Sting in those classic blue plastic pants may be involved. I know that the film version is a bit of a mess (frankly the original messianic novel is pretty hard to condense into a film, hard enough to adapt to several hours of mini-series), yet I still harbour something of a soft spot for it and some of the style it has (and I suspect quite a few of you do too, come on, admit it). I fear we may now be trading Dune quotes on Twitter all day…
And on a related note, Mattcash has uploaded an old 1980s recording of author Frank Herbert talking about the book and his writing, along with director David Lynch:
