This is amusing. And evil.

Win! The Ultimate Blu-ray Rambo Collection!
If strong graphic bloody violence and big explosions are your kind of thing, then you’re eyes are in for a treat in hi-def! Haven’t upgraded to Blu-ray yet? No problem, the Ultimate Rambo Collection is up for grabs on DVD too...
Dune Exclusive!
We caught up with director Peter Berg who was in town for the premiere of Hancock last week, and we thought we might take the opportunity to have a wee chat about another production he is undertaking that has had sci-fi fans twitching – Dune...
“We’re just starting with writers now, I’ve been impressed with the intensity of the Dune fans offering me their comments and their postings and the way they’ve been sending me letters. My feeling is that having read the book twice cover to cover,which I wonder whether some of these guys have actually done, it’s a great adventure tale, it’s a big, rough, fun, intense, dramatic tale. I think if you reread the book and look at even the original Star Wars you’ll see that George Lucas borrowed heavily from Frank Herbert. The Force is as much Frank Herbert as anything I’ve ever read.”
And asked whether we can expect a lavish, blockbuster-scale production this is what Berg had to say...
“What I love about Dune is there’s a real human quality to that book that gets lost if it’s all just scope. Obviously there is scope, y’know, there’s 100 metre monster earth worms that come up, they’re the most ferocious creatures ever put on film…”
Hancock is out in cinemas on 2 July, and will be coming to DVD and Blu-ray soon.
