What do we know now? Director Peter Berg, known for such films as “Very Bad Things,” “The Rundown,” “The Kingdom,” and “Hancock” is set to direct. Joshua Zetumer will be writing the script.

This is exciting news! I look forward to seeing a new take on Dune. I loved the book dune and I thought both the movie and mini-series were good, but definitely not excellent representations of the book. Hopefully they nail it this time. I am also extremely excited to hear that Asimov’s Foundation book is also in the process of being made into a movie! However, I was a bit disappointed they’re only working on the first book right now instead of the whole trilogy. I think the Lord of the Rings approach would be appropriate here.
