Paramount Pictures has reportedly found a new director for its epic retelling of the sci-fi classic Dune.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the studio has tapped French filmmaker Pierre Morel (Taken, From Paris With Love) to replace Peter Berg, who dropped out last fall to direct Battleship instead.
"Paramount is currently looking for a new writer to incorporate Morel's vision of the project into the original draft by Quantum of Solace scribe Josh Zetumer," EW reports. "Morel plans to make a very faithful adaptation of the 1965 book by Frank Herbert."
EW adds that the project is a high priority for the studio.
