Denis Villeneuve's upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert's Sci-fi epic Dune holds a lot of promise with a stellar writer/director who claims such acclaimed credits as Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), and Sicario (2015), and a shockingly good cast with FAR too many big names to list here. The movie shows so much promise that Warner Bros. has apparently already ordered a spin off television show based on the Bene Gesserit, an order of women who, through careful breeding and mental conditioning, have developed a supernatural mastery of social and political manipulation to guide humanity. Not knocking this idea at all it sounds like a fantastic series concept with potential to replace the GoT shaped void in many people's lives, but shouldn't Warner Bros. wait and see if Dune (2020) is successful first?
