From Deadline:
A ticking clock situation is playing out at Paramount Pictures over the sci-fi classic Dune, one that is emblematic of how studio infatuation for branded fare has brought with it the added burden of pleasing rights holders who not only get gross deals but also a big say in how movies are made and released.
This just absolutely breaks my heart. I love Dune and it's a book I re-read frequently. I really want to see this happen, but I don't want to see it rushed out either. Guess I won't be able to have both.
The original film was good.
Sad to see chance for new one vanishing.
Haven't read the novel.
I never knew it was based on a Book, it must have been a Kick A$$ book.
