Just read a long thoughtful analysis of DV Dune by someone who loves the books. Their analysis was that every choice in the DV movies is about focusing on (1) Paul's dilemma, (2) the aspect of religion as a tool for power.
Removing the mentats, Guild, the Emperor, CHOAM, etc from the core story and putting pairs in opposition, like Chani and Jessica, and North and South is all about this focus.

This made me think, if this kind of streamlining is what it takes to make a movie compelling to the casual audience, wouldn't it be cool to make one movie from each aspect, in such a way that each movie stands on its own as a compelling story to watch, but they all fit together as a greater whole?
I don't mean Dunevnecessarily, andvcertainly not this Dune, that was just the seed that made me think about this.
There are certainly movies that have been done like this, with parallel story lines that fit together, but then it's in one movie, and the threads usually interlace and don't make sense on their own.
But multiple movies as not sequels, not prequels, but parallelquels? Episodes of TV shows have done it, but it would be cool to see as a daring mega project.
