Dune Remake Could Mean 3D Sandworms

Posted by timothy on from the that's-3d-I-can-get-behind dept.

bowman9991 writes "The new Dune remake is becoming as epic as Frank Herbert's Dune series itself. Now that director Peter Berg has been ousted, new director Pierre Morel has decided to throw out Peter Berg's script entirely, starting afresh with his own ideas and vision. 'We're starting from scratch,' said Morel. 'Peter had an approach which was not mine at all, and we're starting over again.' Morel also reveals that 'It's the kind of movie that has the scope to be 3D.' He's also keen on sticking to the original material and recognizes that he must try to delete the images associated with David Lynch's 1984 version of Dune from the public's consciousness."

    Nice! I cant wait for a sci-fi movie that's entirely done in 3D where the main character bonds with an idigenous species who dwell on a planet that has a resource unobtainable anywhere else in the universe! They should get James Cameron to direct it!

      You forgot "gains the trust of the indigenous populations and rebels against the imperialist ruling establishment exploiting said resource in a holy war."

      The difference in Dune is that only the eyes are blue.

    Hell, I've read all the original books (written by Frank himself) and I still don't think I could summarize the plot.

    That would be easy, just get George Lucas to do it.

    NO!

    Surely you mean "Dune Not Want"?

    People will start to care if they made a 4D Dune movie composed of prescient visions.
