The movie that was filmed WAS pretty close to the book.  If you have seen the
book _The Making of Dune_, you will see that they shot many of the missing 
scenes and shot some scenes correctly.  Somewhere between the filming and the
editing, the movie was ruined.  Perhaps someone can collect all of the film
clips and re-edit into a half way decent movie, or TV mini-series of something.
