Peter Berg Has Seen Enough Of Dune

Peter Berg, long expected to be the director of the reboot of perhaps the greatest Sci-Fi novel of all time “Dune”, has dropped the project.

Paramount is now shopping around for a director and the rumours are Neill Blompkamp (District 9) and Neil Marshall (The Descent and the upcoming Centurion) are in the running. Both of these guys are better choices in my opinion than Peter Berg. They just seem to have the correct style and vision for epic Sci-Fi work. Paramount wants the movie not to suck and either way, come in under 175 million. I think we can work with that figure. Neil Marshall apparently has been sent the script. Can Dune even work as a 2 hour-ish movie? I’m doubtful. Thanks Aintitcool.
