YADM – Yet Another Dune Movie

Most of you know that Dune is one of my favorite book series. It’s one of those books that I claim shouldn’t only be listed under Sci-Fi since they cover a lot more in them even though the story is just science fiction. Now, granted the first I heard about Dune was through a video game, and later through a movie before I even realized that it was a book, but dude the book is still so much better.

Now Variety is reporting that Peter Berg (director/producer of The Kingdom) just got rights to work on new Dune Movie from Paramount Studios. IMDB already has a page up stating a potential 2010 release.

Now, I’m both pissed and excited. Pissed since no one has yet been able to do a good adaptation of the book (David Lynch was very close, however). And excited for the vary same reason. I mean, may be, just may be they will get it right this time around?

Dune – The final chapter

There are many people, myself included, out there who would gladly give their multiple lives away just to get a glimpse of the possibilities of the final chapter of Dune. Unfortunately for those people Frank Herbert didn’t quite get to finish his work. Even for unfortunate for all those people is that the glimpse they would die for had come in 2007.

So why was it unfortunate? Having finally finished reading the final chapters (supposedly guided by notes from Frank Herbert himself), I would have to point out that the notes left behind by the original author must have been seriously incomplete. Never in a million years I would think that Dune will tie up all the lose ends and give happy endings to all its multiple story lines. It’s just not the Dune way. But then, there’s the saying – never say never.
