The director definitely want to do Dune Messiah.
But after that, who knows. Things get weird with
half-worm half human rulers, and gholas.

I liked Dune Messiah. Children of Dune, however...
in the memorable words of old time usenetter Brett
Jolly (Trolly? I forget...) "My willing suspension
of disbelief chewed a hole in the back of my skull
to escape, and fled shrieking into the night."
That's the last Dune I ever read. God-Emperor of
Dune, as near as I could tell, was everything I
hated about Children of Dune to the fourth power.

OTOH, I hated DM, and rather liked COD & GEOD, although apparently
not sufficiently to follow things after that.
In my very humble opinion, you didn't miss much. A million years ago
here in rasfw, I mentioned Heretics of Dune (aka My Own Private Duncan >Idaho) as the worst SFF "turkey" I had finished reading. For the life of
me, I don't know why I then went on to read Chapterhouse: Dune, but I
did, and it was not much better. At this remove, I don't remember a
whole lot of either one - my sense is that they weren't "throw at the
wall" bad, but they were really disappointing.

It claims to have been written by Frank Herbert. I would have hoped a
ghost writer would have done better.

writer?
No - Or at least, Frank Herbert passed away in 1986, and Heretics of
Dune & Chapterhouse: Dune were published in 1984 & 1985 respectively. >Chapterhouse was the last Dune novel I ever read - and it is very likely
to remain so.
