Why does Dune and its subsequent novels always get the low-budget treatment whenever they are done for film or miniseries? The sci-fi channel stuff is passable in most cases, the acting is generally good, but the sets and the costumes suffer tremendously. How hard is it to film in an actual desert? Computer generated sand looks TERRIBLE and what is with the multicolor still suits that look nothing like the natural environment? Dune has been done badly so many times now that one wonders if it will EVER get the Steve Jackson treatment ala LOTR...sigh well we can hope I suppose.
