All in all, it's nice to see more of the book's depth filmed.The series is designed to co-exist with the Dune feature film, which is in production at Warner Bros, as part of Legendary’s comprehensive plans for Dune that also include video games, digital content packages and comic book series. Perhaps after several viewings the acting in the miniseries will grow on me.
I wish that the 1984 cast had the miniseries treatment to work with and it would have been grand. maybe I should start reading the other books in the series.
As has been mentioned in other comments, the rest of the cast is good, but the 1984 version just had such a great cast that the acting is tough to beat. I finished the first book earlier this year, reading dune messiah rn. The two actors cast in the miniseries looked so much alike and were both so wooden to me that it took me half the movie to be able to easily tell when Feyd appeared. Although, Kyle McLachlan seemed too old to me, he and Sting made excellent opposites in the Lynch version. My best example is the Paul-Feyd contrast. The new miniseries gives the book a much more proper story treatment, but the acting falls short. They had little to work with, but they were fascinating. I never understood why until I saw the new SciFi Channel miniseries. I know that everyone has problems with David Lynch's 1984 version of Dune, but after seeing the television version that adds some scenes, it's grown on me.
