Well, when you don't have five sequals to do it in like Herbert did, you sort of need somebody to do that...
My college creative writing professor was a good friend of Frank Herbert. He said that the whole experience of having his vision wrested away from him and turned into this disaster of a film plunged him into a spiral of poor health and depression that, my professor felt, lead to his death. Bad adaptations kill people!
