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.

    ...one of the comments to the post about Foundation is hilarious. The guy rants about how bad most Asimov movie adaptations have been, and makes reference to this sequence from I, Robot:

    Farber: I got this fine-ass little yummy. I mean she is complete and agreeable, ass-hot spankable, Spoon.
    Detective Del Spooner: What does that even mean?
    Farber: You know what that means, now stop barracadin' and give me the damn-ass keys!

    Um, I LOLed. ...this stuff sucks, and Asimov rules.
