It's a frightening thought when you learn J.J Abrams almost made an adaptation of this. Even had test footage before he was shut down. Just leave it as a book.

Animated by Ralph Bakshi. Maybe Don Bluth, but this would be more up Bakshi's alley.

James Franco also tried adapting it, with him as both writer and director, but floundered getting producers to fund a film his script, which kept in the msot brutal parts of the book. Also it would have been 4 hours long and Franco wanted 85 million and a X rating.

Fun fact, Ralph Bakshi wanted to adapt it with Ralph Steadman inspired art. Hunter S. Thompson was even interested, but realized he'd actually given the rights to an ex of his and couldn't give Bakshi the go ahead.

It'd be cool, but shit would be borderline impossible to pull off in a way that wouldn't be extremely disappointing.
The budget would have to be massive, it'd have to be a mini-series or at the very least a three hour long movie, and the talent you'd have to get together to do it any sort of justice would be an animation dream team.
The book is too good for its own good.

It's after the first time he comes back home after a war, he finds out even his mother is a lesbian now and the government encourages same sex relationships to keep the population down, but since there's so few jobs people who have jobs basically outsource them to others for little pay and farmers in the country side are regularly raided.

an animated dune would be expensive as shit but less of a clusterfuck in the right hands. don't have to deal with fugly costumes and setpieces when you can just draw it/build it in 3d. kids won't age, actors won't drop out or die, etc.

length wouldn't fuck it, but since it would be a cartoon it'd be a lot lighter in tone to the point of being undesirable.

Wow, I'm actually kinda surprised nobody else has tried. Thinking about it, these two are perfect candidates for animated series.

My candidate is a bit of a genre shift, but these two got me looking at my favorites again on my bookshelf, so what the hell. Might be difficult portraying the multiple personalities of the Gang, but a creeping atmospheric horror would probably be done much better in animation than in live-action.

Animated tales off the Koran do exist, they're probably not available in English to be marketable worldwide I guess.

t. once took a Qatar Airways flight and stumbled upon an (Arabic-language) series on its in-flight entertainment offer

On a side note, any sane Muslim would kinda shrug at Biblical stories knowing them to be different interpretations of the same narratives (on Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Lot, Moses etc)...like people using different versions of the same computer OS.

Like Ulysses, this type of book is not something that would work well in a translation into any other medium. It would be like trying to translate a pun, much of what made it work would be given up. There's a lot more to Blood Meridian than violent cowboys and edgy philosophy.

With that being said, I think >>102889499 or pic related would work better in other mediums because the story is the focus rather than the form. Maybe a Philip K Dick short story would work as an animated feature because of his short terse style if you want something more edgy.
