Dune will not be happening at Paramount
"I'm going to look at my options, and whether I wind up taking the script we developed in turnaround, or start over, I'm not sure yet."
The news was foreshadowed back in January when director Pierre Morel stepped away from the project. Chase Palmer developed the script with Pierre Morel, which Richard P. Rubinstein might take with him. Richard P. Rubinstein was set to produce with Kevin Misher, although he may be off the project as well, according to Richard P. Rubinstein.
"Right now, Dune has no commitments or attachments."
Richard P. Rubinstein also revealed he may try to get Pierre Morel and Chase Palmer attached again, although the project doesn't have a studio home at the moment. On the other hand, if they can find a financier willing to put up the $100 million production budget, they may be moving forward without a studio.
Dune comes to theaters in 2014. The film is directed by Pierre Morel.

Well, then Paramount messed up. Dune is a huge bestseller series, meaning $$$.

I've yet to see the David Lynch adaptation, so, not sure how I feel about this happening or not happening.

Didn't SyFy remake this years ago when they we're still Sci Fi, and even had another mini series after called "Children of Dune" Why remake it again? It's not that good of a storyline anyway, and all Dune movies, and tv shows to date have well sucked badly.

For all of its fault Lynch's Dune still holds good today and then there's syfy takes which took its time expanding and closer to the novel. Maybe Peter Jackson caliber could be faithful but why bother. Just let it be. and at $100m these days, you're kidding..

I was a huge fan of David Lynch's adaption and the sci fi series were awesome. I was really looking for toward a new and modern take on this awesome story.
