From Deadline:
Paramount has turned loose the giant worm, and everything else that was part of the seminal Frank Herbert science fiction novel series Dune. The studio’s four-year attempt to make a movie out of the franchise has fallen by the wayside. Paramount and the rights holders came to a parting of the ways as the rights lapsed. “Paramount’s option has expired and we couldn’t reach an agreement,” said Richard P. Rubinstein, who controls the rights to what is considered the biggest selling science fiction book ever.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
Why! Dammit just when I thought things were picking up in movie news today we get this bummer...
Good, Hollywood would mess this up bad.
I don't think they'd really mess it up this time around. They've learned a lot about adaptations over the years (since that's most of what they do now) and I think it would have been handled fantastically! I'm such a big Dune fan, and I was really hoping to see this come together.
THE SPICE!!!
