Dune, a $40 million epic science-fiction feature, is to be released
this Christmas (I don't know the specific date; but it is to be at
Christmas time.)

Some in the industry are nervous about it; some preview screenings of
the film have drawn mixed-to-negative reviews, though officials with
the film deny this.  If I have read correctly, there have been three
preview screenings, and while the overall reaction was one of "okay,"
it was by no means the "Oh my gosh, this is awesome" reaction which was
anticipated..

Oh, well, we shall see come December.

P.S.  Have also heard than 2010 is having its share of troubles too,
      but that's strictly rumor...(i.e. big cost overruns, that type
      of thing.  Same type of things that bogged down "Star Trek--The
      Motion Picture (or sickness, as some have said..)"  back in 1979)
