Dune (1965 adaptation)

I know that jacobking1 already made a Dune adaptation story for the 1960's but I wasn't sure if he'd want to use Denis Villeneuve's films as the reference for what the characters should look like, so I made this for whether you use the book (which I mostly will), David Lynch's film, Denis Villeneuve's films, or something else as the reference. As for the story which many of you already probably know...Paul Atreides' father Leto is appointed governor of Arrakis by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV and Paul is seen as the Lisan al-Gaib by the planet's local Fremen and after their old enemies House Harkonnen take over the planet with the emperor's aid, Paul leads the Fremen against them and the emperor. Evidently, a film adaptation of this book would work better in multiple parts.
