Another Dune movie in the works
Give it up already. Some things just weren't meant to be made into movies.


http://scifiwire.com/2009/08/directo...nvisions-a.php
Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel Dune—which spawned five sequels in Herbert's lifetime and prequels after his death—has been problematic for filmmakers, but that's not stopping director Peter Berg from developing a new movie he plans to direct.

Director David Lynch famously had problems adapting the sprawling book in 1984. Syfy's 2000 miniseries adaptation did a bit better in terms of audience and critical reception, but Berg feels there's still room for a new feature film.

"I think I had a much more different experience, I think, with the book than David Lynch did," Berg said in an exclusive interview on last week at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting his Wayne Gretzky documentary for ESPN. "To me, I think my interpretation will feel significantly different from that and the [Syfy] Channel miniseries that aired. I have a different experience than both of those filmmakers did."

Lynch's film focused in part on the politics of the feuding houses of Herbert's novel, who contend while trying to control the flow of melange, the spice that facilitates space travel, which is found only on the desert planet of Arrakis.

Berg sees the story more as an epic adventure. "[The book] was much more muscular and adventurous, more violent and possibly even a little bit more fun," Berg said. "I think those are all elements of my experience of the book that can be brought in without offending the die-hard fans of the Bene Gesserit and Kwisatz Haderach. There's a more dynamic film to be made."

Before Berg can direct, a filmable Dune script just has to be finished within Berg's scheduling parameters. "I'm finishing this [documentary] now, we're editing it now," he said. "I think it's going to be in the Toronto Film Festival. [I'm] working now on getting Friday Night Lights up for the new season and getting Dune up and running. I'm working all the time."

This has been in the works for a while now.

It's a great, great book. Anybody who hasn't read it should.

I saw the movie first, and initially thought it was okay. Once I read the book, I was like "what the **** was that movie?" It's just awful.

The whole series is good, but it's much more cerebral the further along you get. Most people say they love Dune but enjoy each subsequent book a little less.

Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's "continuation" of the series should be considered as a crime against humanity.

Prone to hyperbole I see.

The prequel books are just fine, as are the sequels.

Saw the pic earlier today and while its just one still, I have no doubt this is going to be epic as hell.

Also, there was an article awhile back saying that the folks that have seen footage compare it to Lord of the Rings in space.

Not only that, but apparently its going to be very violent/hard R. Maybe Denis Villeneuve has got it right? I loved his Blade Runner sequel so I can't wait for this.

Well, the first red flag is the casting of Liet Kynes.

Quote:
In an intriguing change to the source material, Villeneuve has also updated Dr. Liet Kynes, the leading ecologist on Arrakis and an independent power broker amid the various warring factions. Although always depicted as a white man, the character is now played by Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Rogue One), a black woman. “What Denis had stated to me was there was a lack of female characters in his cast, and he had always been very feminist, pro-women, and wanted to write the role for a woman,” Duncan-Brewster says. “This human being manages to basically keep the peace amongst many people. Women are very good at that, so why can’t Kynes be a woman? Why shouldn’t Kynes be a woman?”


Well, I say Kynes shouldn't be a woman because HERBERT DIDN'T WRITE HIM AS A ****ING WOMAN. A minor point on a fairly minor character? I guess. But it just makes me wonder what other changes will be made to makes the SJW types happy. Apparently the Reverend Mother, Jessica, Chani, Irulan, Alia and the entire Bene Gesserit weren't enough for them.

Outside of that, I really don't have any issues with the cast.
