Dune (Film)

David Lynch took on the mammoth task of directing the 1984 adaptation of the Frank Herbert book Dune. Produced by Dino De Laurentis, it was an opulent production with impressive sets. However, many deviances from the original book lead to it being lambasted by die hard Dune fans, although many do say that the cast choice was good.

A Televised version with an extra 30 minutes footage is available but Lynch disliked the intro explaining the back history to the universe and wanted his directors credit removed.

There are constant rumours of 4 and 5 hour versions around but these seem to come to nothing.
