    Dune Two'd last night. Big fan, but have only ever watched the 3 movies.

    There was only one original movie, and it pretty much went as far as the first newer movie correct? And how many books/is the series complete?

    It's been quite a while since I've seen Lynch's movie, or read the book, but I'm pretty sure D2 doesn't get us to the end of either Lynch's movie or the book. I'm curious about D3 - is there enough material left in book 1 for a full movie, or will D3 bleed into Messiah? Given Villenueva's pacing, I guess I shouldn't be surprised if he can turn two chapters into a 3 hour movie!

    As for how many books - there are 4 books written by Frank Herbert, and then a number of books written by his son & other co-writers.

    The first Dune novel ends with Paul defeating the Emperor and taking the throne, so the Lynch movie covers this, and so do Villeneuve's two movies.

    After the first novel, there is Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse Dune. All of those are by Frank Herbert. The rest are written by Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert and they all suck.

    The Kevin Anderson/Brian Herbert novels are super dumb. They involve...

    ...the return of the machines from the Butlerian Jihad, led by a robot called Omnius Prime. OMNIUS PRIME.
