If Messiah is dark, I don't think it should be made. Let people remember Dune as Paul being a hero and his romance with Chani. Don't break people hearts. There is enough sadness in the world. Let people see a movie and be happy for a few hours.

I get what you're saying, but the world Herbert created is on par with LOTR. It's an amazing look at humanities potential, tens of thousands of years into the future. I couldn't put those books down and I'm usually pretty cynical about adaptations, but Villeneuve did an amazing job. I'd love to see God Emperor of Dune made into a movie. The Leto II sandworm/human hybrid alone would be worth a ticket.
