I'm hopeful about the news that a new Dune adaption is currently in the works.

Does anyone have other news about this? (Anticipated release date?) Googling around, the bits of news seem to indicate it will be a movie that covers only the first half of the Dune book.

In the meantime I'll need to check out the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune", which appears to have been well received.
