I knew about this for quite a while but is there any trailers out or other info? Hope it doesn't get ruined with placed advertisments and become really americanized.

Nope, as far as i know its just got a director, that is it.

Hope it doesn't get ruined with placed advertisments and become really americanized.

Is there any reason to think that is even a remote possibility? I would think the setting (assuming they are going to try to be at all true to the book) kind of negates any possibility of product placement (Ford doesn't magically morph into the spacers guild over the several thousand years between now and the time the book takes place and no modern companies sell the spice melange). Americanized is a possibility, I suppose, but I don't see it happening. Then again they managed to Americanize 300 and they managed to un-Americanize (is that even a word?) G.I.Joe so I guess anything is possible. It just seems like a pretty random complaint about a movie that we really know nothing about yet.

Well, I really hope it's not Americanized. I've seen the newer ones, and they were fine, a nice way to re-aquaint ones-self to Dune. I can't wait though for a new dune movie. (Yes I'm twelve years old and read Dune. It's a nice way to strengthen that nerd/bookworm view.)
