Line 32 ⟶ 33:
''Dune'' has been [[The Film of the Book|adapted into movie form]] three times:
* From the early
** Ultimately, Jodorowsky turned the script into an original graphic novel, ''The Saga of The Metabarons''. Some elements of the plot are heavily influenced by ''Dune'', such as the [[Meaningful Name|Hooker-Nuns Shabda-Oud]] for the Bene Gesserit, with the same kind of genetic agenda.
* The producers turned to a hot new director who had been considered for ''[[
* In 2000,
* In 2021, Denis Villeneuve directed [[Dune (2021 film)|a film based on the first half of the first novel]] and did well at the box office. It is set to follow with ''Dune Part Two'' in 2023.{{verify}}
''Dune'' also served as the inspiration for several popular video games, most notably ''[[Dune II]]: The Building of A Dynasty'' which is the [[Ur Example]] of the modern [[Real Time Strategy]] game.
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
Notable for having a [[Shout-Out]] directed at it in almost every videogame with a [[Shifting Sand Land]] area in the form of [[Sand Worm|sandworms]], possibly an example of [[Popcultural Osmosis]].

* [[Absent Aliens]]: Unless you count the Sandworms, and their [[Precursors|implied creators]]. Even then, the sentience was added after the fact, by Leto II.
Line 275 ⟶ 276:
** As an out-of-universe example, [[Star Wars]] cloned ''Dune'' so well that it [[Trope Codifier|overshadows the source]] in popular culture.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: A major theme of ''Dune'' is [[You Can't Fight Fate]], so expect these in spades.
** Dr. Yueh's wife, Wanna, is revealed
** We're told how the first of the book's three parts will end in the second chapter, and the book's ending is foretold in the middle of the second part by the protagonist himself.
** In ''Dune Messiah'', the conclusion is hinted at in the second chapter, and by halfway through the novel, the protagonist has a prescient dream in which he foresees the entire rest of the story. The vision guides him even after his eyes get burned out by nuclear radiation. By twenty pages before the climax (a substantial portion of the just 200-page book) it's a definite [[Foregone Conclusion]], except for the [[Plot Twist]] in which Paul foresees only the birth of his daughter, and not her far more significant twin brother—because he's the one who will ultimately take the reins of prophecy from Paul.
Line 737 ⟶ 738:
* [[Words Can Break My Bones]]: The 1984 film turns the Weirding Way into a martial art and turns "My name is a killing word" into something much more literal.
