However, when I saw David Lynch's vision of the novel I was quite intrigued - not with the story, messianic story lines don't intrigue me, my opinion of the novel is unchanged - but the quirky visualization really seemed to project the correct atmosphere for a future human civilization. Something that's usually missing from Hollywood space operas. If you could somehow splice the visual richness of Lynch's "Dune" with the characters and storyline of Goddard's "Alphaville" I think you would have one helluva good movie. I'm sure Eddie Constantine could handle a "weirding module" with the best of them.
