• i would like JJ Abrams to do the new Dune. A Peter Jackson/ Del Toro team of awesome would do great too. speaking of these people, they, (along with Ridly Scott) should Helm a halo movie. (if said movie ever gets out of movie hell.)

• MY NAME IS A KILLING WORD.

• I still find LOLcats funny. Does that make me a bad person? Anyway, up for a Dune remake.

• I am always looking for another Dune movie experience, honestly I like the David Lynch version for what it is, an adaptation of a book. The Sci-Fi Channel mini series made me appreciate the David Lynch version even more. That miniseries was a mess.

• ........No I feel the ONLY way this series will ever be done justice, is it is given a budget on par with lord of the rings films OR a big budget mini-series is done on HBO(sci-fi did a decent job, but they didnt have the money or the freedom to do it justice). Otherwise, dont bother. I mean unless they do one of his son's books. Then they can just get Michael Bay to direct and it'll end up roughly the same quality as the "novels".

• If this erases the memory of Lynch's version I'm sold.

• Lynch's version wasn't faithful to the book at all (sonic weapons instead of the Weirding Way?) and I for one thought it was terrible. But anyway, it's not going to be a remake of Lynch's but just a new Dune movie. Also: best image macro ever.

• My god it's the nerdiest lolcat i've ever seen. Even nerdier than the one where Data corrects the grammar of Spot

• (DANGER, SPORTS REFERENCE ALERT!) Berg also directed the debut episode of ESPN's 30 for 30 series on the Gretzky trade, which as a Kings fan requires me to like him even if there's not enough football on FNL recently for my personal tastes.

• I don't have particularly strong feelings on it in general, but feel slightly better about this happening now. Whether it can be done correctly at all is still up for debate mind you. Some things just don't work as well on screen as they, in theory, should...

• I think David Lynch's film is a masterpiece. While I'm glad the remake isn't going to be directed by the guy who did Hancock, I still don't see the point in doing a remake anyway.

• Wow, am I the only one who remembers the awesomeness that is Peter Berg's Very Bad Things? That movie is right up there with Heather's for me!

• Hmm...I liked "The Rundown", thats a Berg film. Dune needs a good movie regardless. A part of my nerd-soul is craving it.

• As long as the sandworms look like the above pic, I'm there.

• Doon. Arrukus. Dessert Planet. A planet totally devoid of entrees. All eyes turn to Doon for it is the source of Beer, which the Schlepping Guild gives to their Navigators. Doon. Arrukus. Dessert Planet. Populated by the sweat-suit wearing Freedmenmen, identifiable by their red-on-red Eyes of Egad, the sure sign of Beer addiction.

• As long as they don't cast William Hurt as Duke Leto. Say what you will about the David Lynch version, Jurgen Prochnow made an awesome Duke Leto.
