In 2008, Paramount Pictures announced that they had a new feature film adaptation of Dune in development with Peter Berg set to direct; [141] Berg dropped out of the project in October 2009, [142] and director Pierre Morel was signed in January 2010. [143] Paramount dropped the project in March 2011. [144] [145] Herbert died in 1986, [16] [17] leaving his vision of the events of the Butlerian Jihad unexplored and open to speculation. [10] The Legends of Dune prequel trilogy (2002–2004) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson presents the Jihad as a war between humans and the sentient machines they had created, who rise up and nearly destroy humanity. [18] The series explains that humanity had become entirely complacent and dependent upon thinking machines; recognizing this weakness, a group of ambitious, militant humans calling themselves the Titans use this widespread reliance on machine intelligence to seize control of the entire universe. [18] Their reign lasts for a century; eventually they give too much access and power to the AI program Omnius, which usurps control from the Titans themselves. [10] [18] Seeing no value in human life, the thinking machines—now including armies of robot soldiers and other aggressive machines—dominate and enslave nearly all of humanity in the universe for 900 years, until a jihad is ignited. [10] This crusade against the machines lasts for nearly a century, with much loss of human life but ultimately ending in human victory.

Early in his newspaper career, Frank Herbert was introduced to Zen, a school of Mahayana Buddhism, by two Jungian psychologists, Ralph and Irene Slattery, who "gave a crucial boost to his thinking". [116] Zen teachings ultimately had "a profound and continuing influence on [Herbert's] work". [116] Throughout the Dune series and particularly in Dune, Herbert employs concepts and forms borrowed from Zen Buddhism. [22] [116] [117] The Fremen are Zensunni adherents, and many of Herbert's epigraphs are Zen-spirited. [118] In " Dune Genesis", Frank Herbert wrote: Herbert succeeds at juxtaposing so many different elements: ecology, religion, consciousness, feudalism, space travel… gawsh, I could go on! . . . It is a mainly character-driven plot, with the three books in this trilogy focusing on the Atreides family on Dune . . . I think everyone should delve into this world, let themselves be absorbed by it. It makes you question your reality, your choices, your relationships and the impact you have on the world, or the impact the world has on you’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here's our advice: read Frank Herbert's six novels first, then dabble in the unauthorized spin-offs however you like. Given that many are grouped into smaller series that exist within the larger story, you can sample bits and pieces of the universe. That's the beauty of the Dune—it's a detailed series that rewards completionism, but the entry points are numerous.
