Wouldn't it be great if there were a best of both Dunes?
Keep the miniseries script. The movie version downplays the Fremen. The Fremen are only important because they are given a ridiculous "weirding" weapon. Nothing about how their adaptation to the harsh environment has made them great. They are the most interesting aspect of the book.
Keep some of the actors from the movie: Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck, Jurgen Prochnow as Duke Leto (William Hurt is too soft), Jose Ferrer as the Emporer.
And keep some actors from the miniseries: Whoever is playing Jessica is wonderful.
