The movie was alright, but the mini-series was truer to the novels which I appreciated. I, actually, got into the later books more than the first one. Especially, Heretics and Chapterhouse.
I can tell you that there is no truth to the Herbert estate selling the rights. There are 3 prequals written by Frank's son Brian and now he is writing 3 history/prequals that date back our immediate future (basically how we got from today to where they are in the Dune novels) after that he is gonna write the final book after Chapterhouse that Frank intended to write before he died. They are all based off his extensive notes that he had kept for decades. Its all very interesting and have grossed the Herbert family countless millions.
