I’m talking out of my ass, but I’m guessing the return is bigger for a blockbuster film compared to a series, especially with how expensive a film like this costs. Also, the cinematography and set designs are really built for a large screen. I would love a limited series (like they did with the Sci-Fi one) to really get into the details of the books, but I can’t imagine seeing something as gorgeous as Dune Part Two only on a TV screen.
I think there has been talks of adapting the series to TV before, and obv there’s the mini-series which gave it a red hot go, but the answer is usually money.
Sometimes I wonder why these sorts of films are not made into TV series with hour long episodes. Seems the most fitting format
My cynical answer is that much of the public doesn’t want a multi hour intellectual exercise. Same reason books don’t sell particularly well.
Intellectuals are really boring to listen to, yes.
When they write books, they include so much details that it’s extreamly boring to read through it all.
Because they enjoy all those details and most people won’t care about them.
