Frank Herbert's Dune	comment	The Dune miniseries, billed as Frank Herbert's Dune, is a three-part television adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert. A co-production between the United States, Germany, Italy and Canada, the miniseries aired in December 2000 on the Sci-Fi Channel.In the galaxy-spanning Galactic Empire of the far future, the Atreides family are ordered by the Emperor to move from their traditional homeworld of Caladan to Arrakis, also known by the sobriquet 'Dune'. Arrakis is a desert world that is the only source of spice, the single most valuable resource in the galaxy. This transfer is officially a promotion and reward for the exemplary service and loyalty of Duke Leto Atreides, but everybody can see that it is part of some plot by the Harkonnens, the ancestral enemy of the Atreides and the former rulers of Arrakis. With no choice but to walk into the trap in the hope of avoiding its pitfalls, the Atreides move to Arrakis and try to forge an alliance with the native Fremen and survive the scheming of their enemies.William Hurt stars as Duke Leto, who despite top-billing is only in about the first third of the story. Newcomer Alec Newman stars as Leto's son, Paul 'Muad'Dib' Atreides, with Ian McNeice as Baron Harkonnen and an international cast of supporting actors.Its $20 million budget was small for a sci-fi blockbuster, but was almost unprecedented for a series intended for an initial TV release. It received a significant marketing push (including full theatrical trailers) as the Sci-Fi Channel tried to break into serious made-for-TV production. After the success of this project, the Sci-Fi Channel began producing high-budget miniseries on an annual basis.While it was made on a much smaller budget and scale than the 1984 film version, the miniseries is generally praised for taking fewer liberties with the story and staying truer to the original book. This adaptation is sometimes referred to as "the one with the hats" because of its use of flamboyant costume design to distinguish between the different factions within the story.The miniseries itself spawned a sequel, Frank Herbert's Children of Dune which adapted both Dune Messiah and Children of Dune into a single story.Widescreen Games developed a Video Game Adaptation — also titled Frank Herbert's Dune — in 2001, published by Cryo Interactive, the developers of the original Dune game based on the 1984 film.For the other live-action adaptations of Dune, see Dune (1984) and Dune (2021)-Dune: Part Two.

Frank Herbert's Dune / int_108c268e	type	Hotter and Sexier
Frank Herbert's Dune / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: Compared to the previous adaptation. Jessica and Leto and later Chani and Paul are shown naked in bed together, while the 1984 film had them clothed in equivalent scenes. Paul sees the Fremen, including Chani, strip off their stillsuits without regard for gender or modesty by offworlders' standards. The sietch's "spice orgy" is depicted as both communal religious ecstasy and a literal orgy. Feyd-Rautha is shown naked from behind and ministered to by topless, near-naked slaves.

Piter tries to get the Baron to go ahead and just kill Leto, but the Baron instead gloats about how he will bring about the destruction of House Atreides. Leto releases the poison gas in his fake tooth, killing himself, Piter, and the Sardukar surrounding them, but the Baron is able to float away before the gas can reach him.

It is their custom that a man's flesh is his, but his water belongs to the tribe.

Chani wants him to be raised in the customs of the Fremen, while Jessica wants him prepared to entire noble society. Much of Paul's identity is tied to the Atreides name and family, but he learns that he is also a Harkonnen. Jessica is the unknown daughter of the Baron himself, so Paul and Alia are his grandchildren.

Frank Herbert's Dune / int_5663a595	type	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
Frank Herbert's Dune / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The novel goes into extensive worldbuilding to justify the presence of knife fighting as the primary means of combat throughout the galaxy, including the Imperial and noble forces on other planets. Since the Fremen are the best knife-fighters, they can easily overwhelm the Harkonnen and Sardaukar troops. The miniseries, however, gives the Harkonnen and Sardaukar soldiers guns and simply has the Fremen knife-fight them anyway.

When plotting the downfall of the Atreides, the emperor laments that he won't be able to marry Irulan to Paul if their plan is successful.

The Harkonnens are wealthy from their previous stewardship of Arrakis, but the Atreides note that this cannot buy them respect or the type of influence that Leto has amongst the other noble houses. However, Leto's own popularity breeds resentment, so those noble houses which respect him are silent — or even assisting — when the Harkonnen move against him. Ultimately, money does bring power, but not enough to counter everything else.

Duncan Idaho is killed by a 'thopter-launched missile, instead of falling in a knife/sword fight buying time for Paul and Jessica to escape. He stays behind with the same intent, but is killed pretty much immediately after they part ways. So while they do get away, his death was pretty much a Senseless Sacrifice because he barely slowed down their pursuers. Rabban's death is depicted onscreen, while in the novel it is only vaguely described afterwards.

Frank Herbert's Dune / int_f005700f	comment	Conspicuous Consumption: Paul's room in the opening scene is festooned with water, including multiple filled pitchers and a bowl with rose petals for fragrance/washing. On Caladan, where they are leaving, water is commonplace and affordable and this display would just be comfortable. On Arrakis, where they are going, it is as valuable as spice and this casual presentation is unbelievably ostentatious. The palace on Arrakis has large fountains set up at the entrance for visitors to wash their hands when they arrive. It was a custom of the Harkonnens for those same visitors to splash water on the floor, which would then be mopped up and sold. Jessica specifically notes that this is a custom meant to demean the natives, and she orders it stopped. There is a section of the palace on Arrakis filled with offworld plants, which require so much water to survive that they could keep many inhabitants alive for years. This room is kept as-is, unlike the water-selling custom, but Jessica has it announced that it officially belongs to the people of Arrakis and the Atreides are now only its custodians.

Frank Herbert's Dune / int_f06b07ff	comment	Locked Out of the Loop: Unlike in the book, the Baron doesn't reveal the identity of the House Atreides traitor while briefing Feyd on The Plan. On a Meta level, this is meant to not spoil the reveal that it's actually Wellington Yueh (since readers of the book find out who The Mole is early on and the literary dramatic tension thus plays differently). In universe, it can probably be justified by the Baron exulting in his own cleverness and for operational security reasons. Given Rabban's presence at the briefing in this version, it's probably not a bad idea to withold such crucial information from someone as stupid and impulsive as the Baron's other nephew (a precaution that's vindicated after Rabban goes Leeroy Jenkins trying to assassinate Paul).
