Peter Berg No Longer Directing Dune

It seems that an anticipated remake has hit a stumbling block in the director's chair. Pajiba first reported that director Peter Berg will not direct the Dune remake, which was also confirmed by CHUD.

Pajiba reports that the remake still is in the works, with Josh Zetumer writing the film, and Paramount is searching for a new director. The site mentioned that directors Neil Marshall and Neill Blomkamp are in consideration to take over. It was also reported that Robert Pattinson was in talks to star, but those talks were with the recently-departed Berg, and it's unclear if he still might join the project.

Dune comes to theaters in 2012. The film is directed by Pierre Morel.

    Hey moron, Dune is based off a book, so it doesn't necessarily need to be a remake douche bag. Stop talking sh*t you know nothing about f*cko.

    Damn, Raven calm down. After seeing District 9, I want this guy to go on and direct more new, original works to build up his profession. If he'll do this remake in these days, it doesn't add anything just so money and you don't really know if it's gonna work. And doing remakes is way to easy because you already have a foundation to look back at. Blomkamp shouldn't do this. So, go f*ck your mother.

    F*ck u, Newkill. Neil Blomkamp should really truly direct this remake, Neil Marshall cant cause he's working on his 3-D movie project.
