There was a short presentation on the Dune movie at ConStellation (\very/ short 
movie, that didn't look too good, and a longer slide show that looked pretty 
good).  It looks like there's a fair chance the movie will be pretty good.  The 
only quibble I have so far is that they're using the same Japanese martial-arts 
expert to tutor the actors who was used for the Conan movie, so it'll all be 
oriental-style hand-to-hand and blade-work; not as jarring as in "Conan", but 
still not quite right.

They're supposed to be about done filming now, and have a scheduled 16 months of
post-production to look forward to.  The movie is currently scheduled for 
release in December 1984.
