Film director Peter Berg has confirmed with Paramount Pictures to remake “Dune” adapted from the classic sci fi novel written by Frank Herbert. The film was first made in 1984 by legendary director David Lynch, then later it was remade for a TV mini series for the Sci-Fi channell starring William Hurt.
Peter Berg is the director of other films such as “Friday Night Lights” (a film starring Billy Bob Thornton which was later made into a spin off TV series on NBC), “The Rundown” (an action comedy film starring the Rock and Sean William Scott), “The Kingdom” (a war film starring Jamie Foxx).
Peter Berg also played a small role in an episode of the TV show “Friday Night Lights” where he played the ex-boyfriend of character Tami Taylor on the last episode of Season 2.

Isn’t two remakes enough? David Lynch’s version was a masterpiece, I love that film to death. No other version could top Lynch’s.
I smell a bomber here.

There’s aspects to the book that could use a bit more attention than David Lynch gave us (all due respect to what I consider to be a masterwork of a film,) though I sincerely doubt that Peter Berg is the one to give it to us.
I’d say get another true artist like Darren Aranofsky, give him final cut and the budget he needs. Why not?
