Uit een interview van IGN met Pierre Morel (Taken) blijkt dat de regisseur grote plannen heeft met Dune, de aankomende (her)verfilming van Frank Herberts gelijknamige sciencefictionroman.

Zo zou Morel de film liefst in 3D opnemen.

"I'd love it to be 3D, of course. It's the kind of movie that has the scope to be 3D. Will [Paramount] do it in 3D? I'd push for that, but I don't know. As a viewer, I've just been watching AVATAR with my kids twice in the theater already and had a blast. It's an amazing experience."

Morel stelt zich zeer ambitieus op door te stellen dat hij volledig zal breken met de vooropgestelde stijl van zijn voorganger Peter Berg, die sinds 2007 als regisseur aan het project verbonden was.

"We're starting from scratch. Peter had an approach which was not mine at all, and we're starting over again. I don't think we're going to keep any elements of the Peter Berg script. It was good, actually. It was interesting. It was just not our vision."

Verder heeft Morel het over hoe zijn film zal verschillen met het boek van Frank Herbert en de eerdere verfilming van David Lynch.

"Everybody refers to both the book and to David Lynch's film, which was in a way a monument to the '80s. It became a huge event. It didn't do well theatrically, I think, but in a way it kind of marked and printed an image on DUNE. Everybody now who reads DUNE reads it with David Lynch's images in mind. So we have to get away from that. It's not a remake of David Lynch's movie. We're doing a re-reading, a brand new approach on the book, a very true approach to the book, the original material. So we will have to deal with trying to erase the image that David Lynch did so we can propose our image."
