Frank Herbert's landmark science fiction novel Dune has been adapted for the screen a few times over the past forty years - notably David Lynch's 1984 film and the 2000 miniseries on Syfy (then Sci-Fi Channel). Now Blade Runner 2049's Denis Villeneuve is bringing his version to the screen in 2020, starring Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, and Oscar Isaac. Before Lynch's version, however, there was a famously failed attempt to bring Dune to the theaters.
