Paramount envisions the project as a tentpole film.īerg and Misher enjoy strong ties dating back to Misher's executive days at Universal Pictures. John Harrison and Mike Messina exec produce. New Amsterdam's Richard Rubenstein, who produced Sci Fi's "Dune" and sequel "Children of Dune," is also producing alongside Sarah Aubrey of Film 44, Berg's production banner. The filmmakers consider its theme of finite ecological resources particularly timely. The project is out to writers, with the producers looking for a faithful adaptation of the Hugo- and Nebula Award-winning book. Berg would be the latest helmer to take a crack at the property, which spawned a 1984 David Lynch film as well as a 2000 Sci Fi Channel miniseries starring William Hurt. An empirewide power struggle ensues over the control of the spice. Herbert's 1965 novel is a sweeping, futuristic tale set on the remote desert planet Arrakis, which produces the interstellar empire's sole source of the spice Melange - used for distant space travel.
Kevin Misher, who spent the past year obtaining the book rights from the Herbert estate, will produce via his Par-based shingle. Peter Berg is attached to direct a bigscreen adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel "Dune" for Paramount Pictures. Misher producing adaptation of sci-fi novel By TATIANA SIEGEL Brian Herbert and I will be official co-producers on the film. We've been working on this for years, and we can finally make the proper announcement.
Hugo - I meddled in the future, in all possible futures, trying to create them. He needs more work, pronto!Īnd, now, finally after years of it being priced at over £25 they have brought the price down on the UK DVD set of CoD, so I think Ill treat myself for the upcoming birthday and splash out on the £10 He was simply stunning in the Dune Messiah section. What also stood out in this mini was the quantum leap in acting ability (or change in direction) of Alec Newman as Paul. McAvoy has a long way to go, but he has proven himself to be an exceptional little actor. On seeing the mini for the first time I said to myself "He's going to be big". By CoD most of the kinks appeared to have been worked out, acing wise, and McEvoy was a revelation. The big drawback on the Dune installment for me was some of the very stiff acting. CoD is a wonerful piece of television and what caught my eye back then (and I'm glad to have been on the money with this one) was how brilliant James McAvoy was as Leto.
