New Dune movie
Mundane
Elite Ranger
in Zocalo v2.0
I have no source, but:
"Peter Berg will be directing a new big-budget Dune movie from Paramount. SFFMedia reports that 'although there were some doubts that they were going to get it,' the producers have secured the rights to the Dune novel from Frank Herbert's estate and are looking for writers to provide a screenplay that is true to the original text. Can't wait!"

I'm a big fan of the Dune novels, but I'm not sure about another movie. There's the first movie that we just won't mention, and the two TV mini-series which I really did like, so I'm not altogether sure I want to see another version of it.
Can't they think of any original ideas anymore?
Have thoes movie producers talk to me, i'll give them a hundred or more idea's to write a story about.

I could, MAYBE, see a Batteries Not Included remake though. MAYBE

Well if they put it that way now it makes sense. They have to make sure it's up to date with references for kids nowadays. Wouldn't want to confuse them. That means they can keep remaking it every 20 years in order to keep up with the times.
I hated the way they did the Beni gesserit (why no I'm not going to try harder to spell that correctly!) in the mini series.
The voice box was a bad choice in the movie though.
Now that was a cheesy scifi show. It's the mother of cheesy scifi shows actually. :D
They might be able to give it the BSG treatment and make it grittier. The theme of a character coming from another time has always had something intriguing to it. Even [I]Demolition Man[/I] was funny in that way, considering the fact that Silvester Stallone isn't much of a comedian does prove it. :D Anyone care for a rat burger?

I'm surprised they didn't make a sequel (or rather prequel, because some characters did get killed "for good") yet. There was talk about WB working on one, but it's been quiet for a couple years, so they probably canned it for later.
Oddly enough the movie only gets a 6.2/10 rating at IMDb, the movie isn't that bad. It sports some nice SFX and relatively high production values. Ok, it's in the vein of [I]Judge Dredd[/I] (which Stallone did 2 years later) and other comic book adaptations, but it's certainly entertaining.

Simon Phoenix: Yeah, right.

I didn't expect another [I]Blade Runner[/I] experience, so I wasn't disappointed when I left the theater.
As an aside: the movie predicted Arnold Schwarzenegger's political ambitions... now how funny is that? :D
