Over the past few months, we've seen director Peter Berg drop out of a couple of upcoming projects including the robot boxing film Real Steel, and the remake of Frank Herbert's Dune. Clearly he's in demand after directing Hancock, but what exactly has he been freeing up his schedule for? Well, we already know that he's going to be directing Universal's Battleship movie, but now in addition to a board...

I've heard a lot of friends talk about the Dune books in way that reflected their deep love of the series as well as their inability to articulate just what it is about the series that they love so much,...

The most recent Mind Meld on SF Signal deals with what speculative fiction novels first published in the last 10 years should be included in high school literature courses. I had to read the Chrisalids and 1984 in class, but most of my speculative fiction reading was done after school. I read mostly fantasy but felt after a while that I should read some of the SF classics as well, and started with...

Hollywood is still adamant about turning Frank Herbert's science fiction masterpiece Dune into a profitable franchise, but Peter Berg (The Rundown, The Kingdom) will no longer be in the director's chair. Berg was pegged director a few months ago and had been planning a less intellectual and political take on the series, considering the books to "be more of an adventure tale, more of a muscular...

It doesn't look like filmmaker Peter Berg (THE KINGDOM, HANCOCK) will be the guy to tell us the secret of the spice. According to Pajiba (and corroborated by CHUD), Berg has left the adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi story DUNE. But Paramount reportedly isn't ready to let the project sink into the sands of Arrakis -- they're on the hunt for a suitable replacement and have supposedly approached...

There's a rumour going round just now that the planned new adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune by Peter Berg has hit a roadblock, and that roadblock is the loss of Peter Berg from the project, the man who was driving it and set to direct it. Now I do warn you, this is a rumour from a blog source and there's no other confirmation, personally I'm struggling to believe it as it would be pouring out of...

There is a great movie to be made from Dune . Some say the mini-series from several years ago got pretty close. One thing's for sure: David Lynch shouldn't direct it. And now one other thing is for sure: Peter Berg won't be directing it. Berg, one of the busiest director-producers in Hollywood right now, has walked away from the remake of Frank Herbert's epochal science fiction novel, according to...

I can’t say I’m entirely surprised by the new rumor that actor/writer/director Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom, the upcoming Battleship movie) is leaving the new film version of Frank Herbert’s Dune by the wayside. It’s a huge property that has not only been done before (twice), but it also doesn’t seem to lend itself to [...]

Pajiba.com is reporting that Peter Berg is no longer attached to direct Paramount's Dune , a new adaptation of the Frank Herbert classic. "Dune" spawned five sequels written by Herbert, and inspired a 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch, and in 2000 two mini-series made by the SCI FI Channel (now called Syfy), computer games, a board game, and a series of prequels and sequels co-written by...

As we've known for at least a year, Paramount has been trying to develop another take on Frank Herbert's seminal sci-fi classic Dune, originally attaching The Kingdom director Peter Berg. Since then, we've heard off and on from Berg, including this most recent update from September where he revealed that it would be a PG-13 "massive epic," which was a step in the right direction.
