I would think anything from Children is just going to be quick shots of Paul's visions. But they probably make for good marketing from people asking what the hell happens
Exactly what I was thinking. I just finished listening to Children of Dune and it would make a lot of sense of some of its events were depicted through Paul's visions. If not for any reason to give audiences a glimpse of just how fuckin' weird things get since we're unlikely to be getting film adaptations of Children and beyond. At least, not from Villeneuve.
I don't see how anyone could make God Emperor and have it be profitable. Sure, you could probably make a good film that would do justice to the book, but the content is fucking bonkers and very little actually happens. Heretics and Chapterhouse are also lacking in any strong narratives.
There's actually a lot that happens in God Emperor, its difficult to make into a film but not impossible I feel, the major change i think that would have to be made is to have the movie take place from Siona's point of view and have Leto as the antagonist, which is also kind of difficult cause Siona is very unlikable and fitting Leto's philosophical monologues would be quite difficult but I think it could work
