Probably The Most Accurate And Frightening…

…portrayal of Leto Atreides II on his royal cart that I've ever seen.

This is what I would expect of Denis Villeneuve if he ever got around to filming God Emperor of Dune; sadly, that's something I think will never happen for a variety of reasons. Firstly, he would have to film Children of Dune—another book requiring two films to fully flesh out—and perhaps more importantly, God Emperor is an especially dense (as it concentrated and convoluted) story. It took me several tries to initially get through it, and when I finally did, I was left hating it. Now, of course, my opinion is completely reversed, and I think it's one of the best in the series, but I will readily admit finding a moviegoing audience who would appreciate it enough to justify a film would be difficult.
