A remake of Dune is, or was, in the works. S. is understandably excited, since it is one of his favourite novels. Yet he is apprehensive as well. Apparently someone called Pierre Morel was chosen to direct, and he is not well-liked by S. or any of the hardcore movie nerd community.
Fear not, movie nerds. The other day S. burst out of our (or rather his office, since I tend to just plonk down on the couch with my laptop) office with a look on his face right out of a 50s sitcom and happily announced that one Mr. Morel has been removed from the project.
S. was so happy he ate a muffin and cracked open a beer in celebration, while I sat nearby and basked in the glory of his immense nerdliness.
Of course the question on everyone's mind is whether or not they will replace the director, or just scrap the project altogether.
Please let it not be Uwe Boll. Please let the world burn in apocalyptic flames before anyone thinks of him as a possibility.
In the meantime, enjoy this gem of creativity from writer / director / actor Tommy Wiseau, who is surprisingly similar to, and yet entirely unlike, Uwe Boll.
