New Dune Movie Confirmed

Posted by kdawson on from the mouse-shadow dept.

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!"

    I only made it halfway through it. I couldn't believe how pretentious it was. David Lynch's version was good, but I'd like to see a modern adaptation closer to the book. You mean a Dune movie staring Will Smith?

    Who the hell wouldn't want to see female killing machines fuck the self control out of people?
