Vielleicht klappt es ja diesmal mit einer ansprechenden Umsetzung!

Peter Berg is attached to direct a bigscreen adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel "Dune" for Paramount Pictures.
Kevin Misher, who spent the past year obtaining the book rights from the Herbert estate, will produce via his Par-based shingle.
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. An empirewide power struggle ensues over the control of the spice. 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.
The project is out to writers, with the producers looking for a faithful adaptation of the Hugo- and Nebula Award-winning book. The filmmakers consider its theme of finite ecological resources particularly timely.
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. John Harrison and Mike Messina exec produce.
Paramount envisions the project as a tentpole film.

French action director Pierre Morel, who is taking over a new film version of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic Dune, is talking for the first time about his take, and says he wants to remain faithful to the book, of which he is an immense fan.

Speaking to the Tribeca Film Web site, Morel (Taken; From Paris, With Love) said he's going to start drafting a new script soon:

I'm preparing for a long trek in the dunes... We're going to start writing in a couple weeks. It's very early [in the] process.
[Q:] Do you plan to infuse it with some action?

I don't know. It's all about—I'm a huge Dune fan, a reader, like for 30 years; I read it when I was a teenager. I've read it 10 times maybe, so I want to stay true to the book. Saying that, I also think that there's a lot of scenes that are not described in the books—it's just mentioned, like the bad guys attacking something—and it might make sense to include those in the movie, not just by mentioning it but showing them, and that would maybe [call for] some action scenes, yes. It's not about action. It's not the point. It's not about [making] an action movie. It's just doing Dune. It's like a huge universe thing, and there's such a fanbase, like guys who have been reading that forever—you can't mess with that.


That is reassuring to us fans. We're going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Vielleicht könnte man´s ja mit diesem imho reichlich mittelmäßigen SciFi-Fantasy-Schinken auch mal genug sein lassen und mal andere SciFi-Werke verfilmen, wie z.B. HELLSTRÖMS BRUT des gleichen Autoren oder was aus der Feder von STephen Baxter.

Legendary and the Frank Herbert estate have today announced that they have reached an agreement granting the production entity the Dune movie and television rights. The agreement calls for the development and production of possible film and television projects for a global audience. The potential Dune movie and TV projects would be produced by Thomas Tull, Mary Parent and Cale Boyter, with Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert serving as executive producers.

Most of the main ideas of Star Wars are coming from Dune so it’s going to be a challenge to [tackle] this. The ambition is to do the Star Wars movie I never saw. In a way, it’s Star Wars for adults. We’ll see.
