Chase Palmer has been hired to write director Pierre Morel’s (Taken, From Paris With Love) version of Dune at Paramount. According to THR, Palmer will be working with Morel to stick close to the original source material, which is the 1965 classic book by Frank Herbert. As most of you know, David Lynch took a crack at Dune back in 1984 at Universal.
It’s important to note while Palmer has been hired to write the script, that doesn’t mean Dune is moving in front of the cameras anytime soon. With what has to be a huge budget and complicated source material to adapt, many have tried to get Dune off the ground with little success (Peter Berg). Just because a hot director wants to make the film, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. It’s going to take a lot of happy studio executives and some big name stars to get this thing rolling. More as we hear it.

This guy is a crap director and I bet if he directs it it will fall flat on its face. Dune is an amazing book and we need someone who understands it well enough to recreate it as a film.
If they are smart they will take what has worked from the mini-series' and from the movie and combine them with additional material to make it better, so while I'd like to see a new Dune film I'm also hesitant and I'm not comfortable with this guy at the wheel.
