Slashdot Mirror
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!"
Great. Another remake. Too many more of these and Hollywood is going to have as many dupes as Slashdot,... Whatever happened to originality, people?
Wait, I'm confused, you're saying the Harkonnens are jewish?
The thing that killed me about LOTR was the Two Towers movie.
In the book the Ents were (entishly) spoiling for a fight. In the movie, they didn't even know that they were losing trees until a buncha hobbits clued them in. Worst Tree Shepherds ever.
And Rohan? In the book, once Theoden is "awakened" he moves directly into ass-kicking mode. In the movie, not only do we have Eomer wandering off with the whole army (wtf?) but Theoden does this fricking "King Lear" impersonation for the last 40 minutes of the film.
Oh yea, and the Elves? They're going to leave without a fight? And fricking Elrond throwing down on his daughter for having the hots for a human? Elrond Half-Elven? Jesus Christ.
If you're going to hollywood it, at least make it make sense.
