Something I've been knocking around mentally for a while...
We're all familiar with the famed Beatles Lord of the Rings project that tantalized those of us on AH.com who are fans of both (although even with Kubrick involved, as improbable as that is, the consensus seems to ever be that it would have been dreadful...)
But what about Dune? If the group, and in particular Lennon, had had access to the serialized version and became big fans before it's release, once the book comes out and is recieved so well critically and financially, they could certainly push for a greenlight to make it. Herbert could use the money in the sixties, the Beatles had a lot of influence, and with a serious attention to detail I don't see them pissing FH off (iotl, he liked Lynch's adaptation.)
So describe to me the Beatles' Dune and the world in which it exists. Cast, director, soundtrack?
I had some ideas of my own but wanted to gauge the interest here first.
Edit: ignore the giant red thumbs down... I'm using a phone and it's seemingly full of surprises...
