The recent two films are just the first book (split across the 2 films). The 3rd film (to be release Dec) is one of the subsequent (2nd) book Dune Messiah.

In my opinion a complex involved story. Previous attempts to film the 1st book have been interesting but "difficult" maybe largely due to the complexity.

Snap!

It is mentioned in passing in the book, can't remember if it is mentioned in the film. The event is mentioned as The Butlerian Jihad. Artificial intelligence was unceremoniously and violently disposed of, and from then on any mechanism more intelligent than a thermostat was a no/no.

This sounds more like a Douglas Adams kind-of-idea!
