It’s been two years since Peter Berg confirmed he was attached to direct the third adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction novel Dune. Of course, the first adaptation was auteur David Lynch’s avant-garde, torpid 1984 film, the second being Sci Fi Channel’s miniseries in 2000. But little has been said about this third attempt to corral the story of Paul Atreides and his family amidst a futuristic feudal interstellar empire as they take control of the lone source of spice melange, the most valuable resource in the universe. It’s no wonder Dune has proved a worthy foe when condensed into film form.
