[s]Peter Berg[/s] Pierre Morel confirmed for re-(re-)make of Dune
mberan42:
It's true.
I don't know how I feel about it. David Lynch's version is terrible, but the Sci-Fi version is decent. However, I am pretty much up for anything Dune related, so long as it's not touched by Brian Herbert.
Jackie Blue:
Totally unneccessary. Lynch's version was brilliant and the Sci-Fi channel ones were servicable.
Boro_Bandito:
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with zerodrone on this one, David Lynch's version kicked ass. I mean, come on, Sting? I've never actually read the books, but I rewatched Dune recently (it was on OnDemand, free movies) and the version I saw was David Lynch's film with like an hour long still image slideshow with exposition that I'm assuming was from the books, and that cleared things up for me a lot. As far as I'm concerned Dune will always be an awesome 80s sci-fi movie with just the slightest bit of cheesiness to it(the thoughts voiced out loud by the actors was a bit much).
Scandanavian War Machine:
this is a rare thing. some great books got made into a movie twice and the movies were actually good! i don't think that has ever happened. ever.
so i'm assuming Dune has some kind of California-repelling field around it, therefore this remake will probably be good. right?
either that or it's way past due to suck. i guess we shall see.
edit: oh, nevermind. i just read the article and the words "cruise" and "tom" jumped right out at me. well, it was a fun dream while it lasted.
Jackie Blue:
I think that the adapations of Dune have been so good because the book is frankly incredibly boring and a long-winded mess. Dune is basically the highbrow equivalent of Robert Jordan. Plenty of people have pointed out how the Wheel of Time "borrows" so heavily from Dune that it's almost funny.
Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, surprisingly, were a fair bit more enjoyable and coherent.
After that, the series exploded into a mass of WTF.
And don't even get me started on the fucking atrocious "new" Dune books. Ugh.
