Following the collapse of Jodorowsky's film, in 1976 Dino De Laurentiis acquired the rights from Gibon's consortium. De Laurentiis commissioned Herbert to write a new screenplay in 1978; the script Herbert turned in was 175 pages long, the equivalent of nearly three hours of screen time. De Laurentiis then hired director Ridley Scott in 1979, with Rudy Wurlitzer writing the screenplay and H. R. Giger retained from the Jodorowsky production. Scott intended to split the book into two movies, him and Wurlitzer working on three drafts of the script over the next seven months. One of their controversial changes was making Paul the father of Alia, willfully sleeping with his mother to bring her into existence. Following the death of his older brother Frank unexpectedly from cancer, Scott left the project. Wurlitzer and Giger left shortly afterward and by 1981 a new creative team was on the project with David Lynch as director.
