How is Peter Berg the right guy for Dune? The Kingdom and Friday Night Lights aren't bad movies but they aren't amazing either. The Kingdom is a half-assed character study which doesn't quite work with something like Dune where there are such strong archetypes. Sure you get a sense of Paul as an adolescent before he becomes a God but the Harkonnens are never less than pure evil. Friday Night Lights might come closer but only because its football.
Burg might be able to pull it off... think I rather see a Bollywood version.
