So, Denis Villeneuve apparently plans to do a film finishing Dune and then a film of Dune Messiah. And I really hope he does both, because Dune is itself really half a story.

Dune is Godfather 1. Dune + Dune Messiah is Godfather 1 and 2. (Alas the subsequent sequels in both are a steep falling off...)

I think the first few Dune books are best understood as gangster genre fiction. Paul’s closest analogues are Michael Corleone, Wilson Fisk, Tony Soprano.

Herbert's great gambit was to disguise a gangster story as a superman story, yes.
