Dune the book has beaten battered and bruised many a great filmmaker over the years - I'd say "poor David Lynch" but at least he managed to get one made, unlike so many - so I need to pull myself back from the ledge of making myself too excited over what is basically a whisper of a rumor of a rumor... BUT STILL. If this happened I would go blind from the orgasms. Via Slash:"A new and curious rumour suggests that Peter Berg is no longer attached to the next big screen adaptation of Dune and the studio are shopping around for a new director. Normally, when rumours like this have something to them it’s been after a fair bit of radio silence but it hasn’t exactly been all quiet on the Atreides front, with Peter Berg discussing progress on the picture only a couple of months ago. Okay - it’s possibly more accurate to say he was discussing a lack of progress.
If this rumour is true, however, there’s a little more to it. As well as informing us that Berg and his Film 44 company have made a break for the door, the story goes that some frontrunning candidates for the canvas chair have already come in to focus: Neill Blomkamp and Neil Marshall. Bafflingly, it’s Marshall who is said to be the frontrunner."
First off, fuck that "baffingly" noise, Slash. Again, I don't wanna get too excited about the prospect of this thing's truth. I will just go home and build a little shrine to the possibility and sacrifice a bunch of virgins in its name is all. I do that every Wednesday anyway, so no big whoop.
