"The hype around it is understandable but it's a little excessive. The fanatics are worried I'm going to destroy it - I'm like calm down, I read the book when I was a kid too! If you re-read it - it's just a great adventure story. There is a spirituality to it, and a mysticism, and there is a parallel metaphorically about oil, the corporatisation of resources - but at the end of the day, it's about a kid becoming a leader. There's incredible action in it and really great intrigue and betrayals, it's Shakespearean in its scope and I think it'll be a blast."

(Peter Berg)

First Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert get themselves signed on as "producers" and now they've found a director with the same view of Dune they have.. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cameo for Omnius thrown in, just to tie the movie to the shitty prequels and sequels.

No mention of ecology when he lists what the book is about...oh dear.

 

[Cassie]

Sting better wear his codpiece!

 

[The Tomtrek]

Someone had better fucking yell "ATOMICS!!!" in this film.

 

[Oh my god it's Robby!]

if i am feeling in a dumb mood
a peter berg film aint a bad idea to watch
& i will just pretend it has nothing to do with dune
just 'Dunelike'

The chuckle brothers are also going to be in it, riding a large worm, each holding a rein, going To me!, no, to you!

So it's not all bad then.
