Think he's been talking about this for a while, it's a passion project of his. It's a major win for sci-fi fans that such an amazing filmmaker wants to do it...
I hold Villeneuve in extremely high esteem. I saw Prisoners recently and it is one of the best movies ive ever seen, it is probably in my top 10 best films ever. Sicario is excellent, and same with Arrival. BR 2049 is great too, just too slow and emotionally distant for my taste, but that was obviously intended to match the original film.
I seriously think he's kind of a new Kubrick. He's that good.
So yeah, the fact that he wants to do a major sci fi book is awesome.

The project is in excellent hands I’ll say as much. Looking forward to this

All the sex scenes in Dune are pretty irrelevant, cutting them or cutting away during them wouldn't matter. As for the death toll, who cares? Plenty of films have just as big death tolls but aren't 'R'.
sexual imprinting isn't even relevant until heretics if dune.

I don't remember what that character is. It's been so damn long since i read the book, but...
I hope it's not a character that gets killed in the first scene like [SPOILER - highlight to read]:Blade Runner 2049. That movie was a drag after that opening sequence. It needed more Bautista.
