I would love to see the “lost” footage mentioned in this article. Would make a great expanded mini series for some streamer. I know after this flopped that a four hour version ended up in syndicated TV, but this article mentions there’s like seven hours of cut scenes!
This was an amazing article. Loved reading through each interview.
Harlan Ellison: “Frank is holding it back because it’s a dog” Frank: "It’s not a dog, I never held it back. Harlan has a chip on his shoulder. "
Aw. This is the “Dune” I liked. The new one wasn’t nearly cheesey enough and filled with whisper talking and took forever to get anywhere.
I wonder what is the tone of the movie?
I think they were trying to go the Bladerunner route with this reboot. Y’know, feast for the eyes as well.
What, the Lynch Dune wasn’t a feast for the eyes??
No, no, not saying it wasn’t. I’m just saying they leaned on what they did with Bladerunner 2049. Not that it’s a bad thing because I personally enjoy the new movies.
I did grow up with memories of the Lynch films though and every time I saw Kyle MacLachlan in anything it immediately would remind me of Dune. I only learned Alicia Witt was in it a couple of years ago which kind of blew my mind.
As much as I love Lynch’s Dune, I have no need to see the stuff that got cut. I remember the Alan Smithee edit. I understood exactly why those added scenes were left out in the original release. The quality was just lacking
