Paramount's big-budget version of Dune is rumbling into production, with Variety announcing the Studio has hired a writer to pen the adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic.
Josh Zetumer is the lucky scribe tasked with bringing Dune to the big screen once more – he doesn't have a raft of credits on his CV but is currently working on Villain for 21929 Productions and The Infiltrator at Warner Bros.
Apparently, he also did production work on Bond's latest outing, Quantum of Solace.
Paramount suit Kevin Misher, along with Herbert's son Brian and author Kevin J. Anderson -- who co-wrote several additional entries in the Dune series after Herbert's death -- are on production duties, whilst The Kingdom director Peter Berg will direct.
