New Dune Movie Confirmed
bowman9991 writes "Peter Berg will be directing a new big-budget Dune movie from Paramount. SFFMedia reports that 'although there were some doubts that they were going to get it,' the producers have secured the rights to the Dune novel from Frank Herbert's estate and are looking for writers to provide a screenplay that is true to the original text. Can't wait!"
A new sci-fi movie? Have they checked the availability of the "Official Sci-Fi/Fantasy Actors of the 21st Century": Patrick Stewart Milla Jovovich Wesley Snipes Toby Macguire Christian Bale Liam Neeson Natalie Portman Hugo Weaving Samuel L. Jackson Hugh Jackman and, of course, Ray Park I mean, you can't make a sci-fi movie without *at least* 2 people from that list!
Will it have Sting?
It is by fanboys alone that drool is set in motion.
It is by the news of cool that mobs begin to form, the slash begins to dot, the hype begins to build.

I mean, I like Dune, but how many remakes is enough?
I don't know, but I hope they find a group of musicians on par with Toto!
Here come da fudge!
It had its moments, but I'm just curious to see if Slimer from Ghostbusters is asked to come back and reprise his role as a Guild Navigator.

Will the Bene Gesserit have magic school-girl outfit change sequences? Ooh, ooh! The Guild navigators could have tentacles! And Paul needs to be 12, have a girly voice, and spiky hair. Totally play up the angst. Also, you have to call out the name of the Wierding Way maneuvers you're using ("Desert Flower Wierding Strike Omega!!!!").
Two words: Honored Matres.
Who the hell wouldn't want to see female killing machines fuck the self control out of people?
When the only tool you have is a claw hammer every problem starts to look like the back of someone's skull.

I don't think there could be a worse person to write it. SR would insist on adding humor, optimism and real human emotion to it. These have no (apparent) place in Dune. At least we would get an idea about what music they were listening to and the best machine with which to brew up some spice and Irish whiskey with. Actually, have him write it.
