How many Dunes do we need? Apparently Peter Berg thinks we need yet another adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic, as they are set to begin writing “soon”. As soon as the writer’s strike is settled, that is.

Honestly, the Sci-Fi channel miniseries was so good, if I was Mr. Berg I’d think twice. To hold up a new movie to that standard is likely to be a failure - nobody knows sci-fi like they do. At best it will be better than David Lynch’s version and at worst.. well…. let’s not even go there.

As much as I love the Dune series, I have reservations - but I’ll cross my fingers…
