The much talked about Dune remake has run into some difficulties. The project, which is sitting on a $175 million budget has lost its director.

Peter Berg, who directed Hancock and The Kingdom amongst others, has reportedly left the project to make, get this; a movie based on the board game Battleship.

Anyway, Dune is now in need of a director and the producers are looking for a director who can…

A. – “put the movie together for under $175 million.

And B. – “someone who already has a preexisting passion for the novel and is enthusiastic about the project.”

The two early front runners for the directors chair are District 9′s Neill Blompkamp and The Descent’s Neil Marshall.
