I know it is being directed by Nicolus (sp?) Meyer, e man who wrote "7 percent Solution". I think he also wrote it, but I am less sure on that point. Dune is being done by your friend and mine "Dino DeLaurentis", that wonderful jerk that brought you "King Kong", and "Barbarella" (yuck). I have heard rumors on "I, Robot" (even up to Ellison doing the script), but nothing definite. As for "Bladerunner", there is indeed a novel titled that, but the movie is based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". I think they may have bought the title "Bladerunner" from Nourse, so they wouldn't have to worry about lawsuits, but again I'm not sure.
