AYRT

Oh yeah, I'm not saying LOTR wasn't a huge breakthrough. It was. But as cult classics go, I think LOTR was much widely more read and beloved than Dune before any of those movies were made. And it had film adaptations before, just animated ones. It was far from an unknown property, and a lot of people had been hoping for a good live-action movie for decades. It was either going to be a disaster or it was going to hit BIG, no middle ground possible.

David Lynch's version of Dune bombed. It lost a shitload of money. (Unfairly, I think - there's a lot of weird choices there but it isn't that bad.) Taking another chance on it from a different director is still a leap of faith.
