I am worried that the Herbert Estate might not permit a documentary about a film attempt of a DUNE to be released (since Jacurutu testifies that they can be really severe).
first off, I think we could now just dispense with the "Herbert Estate" or "Herbert Limited Partnership" facade,
since it seems to me that Brian Herbert is obviously the only Herbert who can sign the contracts & checks, and
his conscious will has obviously been controlled by the Sith Lord tehKJA for some time ....
so the criteria for Brian to greenlight such a project would be along the lines of:
1) Will it make money?
2) Who will be blamed for the project's failure ?
2a) This is
very important, given the recent Dune Movie project collapse ...
3) How will KEVIN J. ANDERSON's name be attached to this project ?
4) Will this project require any actual
work on the part of Brian and/or tehKJA ?
in relation to point #2, above:
A) can a documentary from
several Points of View be produced, and edited as necessary
to bolster whatever story will be presented when the
next attempt at a Dune Movie collapses/is produced,
and, if produced and released, succeeds/fails financially and praised/panned by critics & fans ?
Brian and Keith will surely not pursue such a project themselves, altho both would give it lip-service,
Brian more sincerely than Keith, of course; if left to his own choice, I think Brian would give his blessing
to anyone who would want to attempt the project without reservation; Keith would instruct the HLP Lawyers
to allow Brian to only sign a contract that granted the lion's share of profit to the "HLP", and held the producers
of the film solely liable for any losses .... and of course, the producers would have to raise the up-front money
themselves ....
