Berg says he plans to do a very different take on Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi epic which has been adapted twice for the screen:
"I think I had a much more different experience, I think, with the book than David Lynch did [with the 1984 film]. To me, I think my interpretation will feel significantly different from that and the Syfy Channel mini-series [and its "Children of Dune" sequel] that aired. I have a different experience than both of those filmmakers did."
He added:
"The book was much more muscular and adventurous, more violent and possibly even a little bit more fun. I think those are all elements of my experience of the book that can be brought in without offending the die-hard fans of the Bene Gesserit and Kwisatz Haderach. There's a more dynamic film to be made."
He will be prepping the project at the same time as the 4th season of the "Friday Night Lights" TV series. No start dates for Dune have been scheduled.
Berg, a talented guy--has a high mountain of sand to climb here....
