Stop remaking Dune, just remaster this.
My mother is a huge Dune nerd. She's read ALL the books, not just the first one, and she's read them all several times. This (along with its 2003 Children of Dune sequel) is the only adaptation she likes.
You can't do Dune in a movie, it gets too condensed. The miniseries format was always going to be perfect for it and always will be. Unfortunately, hardly anyone seems to know this version exists, and it's underrated.
The only part that hasn't aged well is the CGI. Though, even then, there is a certain style to the whole thing--sort of stage theatrical--that covers for some of that.
