-- Let the speculation begin. "Howling Mad" Murdock actor Dwight Schultz will be showing up for a cameo in Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team," according to a fansite. Hopefully, this means we'll be seeing other cameos from the rest of the team. Who doesn't want to see Mr. T give this young guns A-Team a vote of confidence with a tiny cameo role. Hell, he can leave his gold chains at home if it makes him happy. Schultz is great, but the fans want what they want: bring back T. (The Official Dwight Schultz Fansite, via Cinematical)

-- "Mad Men" producer Matthew Weiner is turning his attention to film now that the latest season is finished. He's now getting set to helm "You Are Here," a romantic comedy that he wrote. Independent financing is already in place and the cast will include the likes of Jennifer Aniston and "The Hangover" stars Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis. No word on a synopsis, but he'd better get cracking or he's going to leave a lot of "Mad Men" fans very disappointed. (Variety) Read more...

The word emerged today that director Peter Berg's adaptation of the Hasbro board game "Battleship" will sail into theaters on July 1, 2011, according to a report in Variety. Berg described his adaptation as "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle." It's worth noting that he didn't actually name the aggressors, so it could be anything from terrorists to aliens and beyond. Given Berg's background -- "Hancock," "The Kingdom," "The Rundown" -- it could really be anything.

Last week, the MTV's Eric Ditzian had a little chat with the director, and he was all too excited to discuss his upcoming board game adaptation. When Eric expressed skepticism about the feasability of adapting a game of this sort for the big screen, Berg jumped quickly to dismiss any concerns. Read more...

Is Peter Berg's adaptation of the sci-fi classic "Dune" going to happen? Almost two years have passed since the director confirmed his involvement with the project, a potential third take on Frank Herbert's 1965 novel after David Lynch's '84 movie and a Sci Fi Channel miniseries in 2000. While a first draft of the script has been completed, we were starting to wonder if Berg's "Dune" was one of those tantalizing cinematic possibilities that just never became a big screen reality.

Not so, Berg told MTV News. "Dune" is very much on—and to prove it, the director shared some details about what he has planned. Read more...

Eleven years after Peter Berg premiered his directorial debut, the dark comedy "Very Bad Things" at the Toronto International Film Festival, the writer/director/producer/actor/dude-who-must-never-sleep is bringing another project to the Canadian fest: a documentary about his long-time friend and hockey legend Wayne Gretzky called, "Kings Ransom."

The hour-long film stems from ESPN's "30 for 30" series, a collection of documentaries that focus on characters and events that have altered the sports landscape in the years since the cable network launched in 1979. Read more...

When Hasbro and Universal initially announced a partnership to adapt popular board games into movies, it seemed like a terrible idea. Now that these projects are actually coming to light, a few sound quite interesting, and even somewhat prestigious. Following Ridley Scott, who is booked to direct “Monopoly,” Peter Berg is said to be in talks to helm “Battleship,” an action movie based on the iconic grid-based wargame. Could this be the film Berg and Robert Pattinson were meeting last week to discuss?

Chances are - or maybe we're just being hopeful - that Berg and Pattinson were instead chatting about “Dune.” Still, Pattinson's legion of "Twilight"-loving fans would probably melt at the sight of him in a Navy uniform, serving aboard one of the game’s five ships. Read more...

The spice might soon be flowing, right onto Robert Pattinson's resume. When it comes to the vampire heartthrob, absolutely nothing is yesterday's news. That said, Perez Hilton reported that the actor was spotted leaving the Los Angeles home of director Peter Berg yesterday while on a break from the ongoing "New Moon" shoot. Berg and Pattinson may very well just be friends, but this fanboy is hoping that the two met to discuss the actor's possible involvement in Berg's upcoming "Dune" remake.

Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel "Dune" was adapted for the silver screen by director David Lynch in 1984. Although Lynch managed to hit the novel's key points, his tendency towards the avant-garde ultimately led to the mixed bag of fan reception that followed in the wake of the adaptation's release. Liberal changes made to the story didn't help either, with the worst offender being a ridiculous shout-activated sonic handgun. Read more...
