Has Peter Berg's DUNE Found A Writer??
|
Looks like Josh Zetumer may be mounting the worm (wow, that sounds wrong); he seems to be headed towards scripting Peter Berg's DUNE adaptation for Paramount. Josh recently set up VILLAIN at 2929, which THE PRODUCTION COMPANY'S WEBSITE describes as being about...
a forest-fire spotter with a dark secret gets an unwelcome visit from his deranged brother in the remote, freezing wilderness of the U.S. Northwest.
Zetumer apparently tweaked the QUANTUM OF SOLACE screenplay as well; too bad he couldn't tweak the title.
No one involved would comment on Zetumer's take on the "Dune" saga.
...says THIS ARTICLE in the Hollywood Reporter.
I say it should be a "reinvention" that casts Jack Black as an embittered, obtuse, overbearing Paul Atreides - whose irresistibly boyish edge restores harmony to a universe in conflict.
