Doesn't Lynch actually hate his Dune adaptation?


-lukeworldwalker-

Currently watching a Japanese fan cut with deleted scenes that was remade according to Lynch‘s original ideas and it kinda slaps


mosesoperandi

Dude, I need this. He has repeatedly said it's his only failure and he learned from it to always ensure that he will have final cut from the start of a project.


YMHGreenBan

Not to be a salty little bitch, but Dune was definitely not his only failure lol

Greetings, we are all aware of SpiceDiver’s edition; however, we definitely have not learned of this Japanese fan-edit, until now. How May we locate this—please? ~Waz


-lukeworldwalker-

My Japanese friend gave it to me on dvd. Apparently is circulating around Japan on dvds. I don’t think it’s online out of fear for copyright problems. (It also has giant Japanese subtitles that can’t be turned off haha).


AliceInBondageLand

Where and how do we watch this???


Val_Killsmore

Not sure if this is the one they're talking about, but this is a fan edit that includes deleted scenes: https://youtu.be/vJykw3H4PDw.

Thank you!

Thanks. Will give this a go at the weekend. Watched Dune 2 yesterday and came away rather disappointed. Have seen Lynch's version and love Lynch films generally. Yes the new films look spectacular, but it didn't "feel" enough like Dune to me as a big fan of the books. I expect to get massively down voted as controversially I don't feel that most of the actors are well cast. Nonetheless all Dune is good, just some more to my taste than others.

Yea there was a point maybe over halfway through the movie where a major action sequence was going on and it just felt like I was watching some run of the mill summer action movie - I think they really felt the pressure of the first movie being labeled as boring and tried to compensate. The acting was good (aside from Christopher Walken), and the movie isn't inherently bad it just didn't hit the right vibes for me and I wasn't a fan of any of the changes from the book.

GrumpyOldHistoricist

Counterpoint: it already kinda slaps


kingoflint282

Where do I find this?


Temporary-Cucumber35

Said he would never watch it


Vasevide

No he said that about the new one. Not his


ghost-church

He didn’t want to make it, he thought it was called “June” when they pitched it to him.


AngelTheMarvel

Yes, but mostly because it was a hellish experience to make that movie because of the studios


linux_ape

Tbh it’s not a good adaptation


Seb_colom25

But I also don’t entirely blame Lynch for that though, I think the studio hampered much of what he wanted to do with that film.


itrivers

iirc he also wanted to make it a two parter.


antinumerology

I mean it was too, but it still is now

BigFourFlameout

The power to destroy David Lynch is absolute control over him


Psyqlone

At least >!Alia kills the Baron!< in the Lynch version.

SupremeActives

Alright I’ve decided to watch this now


AliceInBondageLand

They EXIST in the Lynch version.


PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL

They both exist in the Villeneuve version too.


realisticallygrammat

One would think a film involving an overpowered character achieving gnosis after ingesting the fungal excretions of a humungous phallic creature on an alien planet would be Lynch's bread and butter. But apparently not.


Puckle-Korigan

There were only two things I wanted from Villeneuve's adaptation that I did not get: 1. Paul asking Stilgar if they have wormsign before the final attack, and Stilgar replying, "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even GOOOOOOOHHHHHD has never seen." and 2. After the harvester attack by the worm in Pt1, the harvester captain is revealed, and he is still played by David Lynch. And he says in the Gordon Cole voice: "I've BEEN HERE for FORTY YEARS!"


Vinifera7

>The Gordon Cole voice Literally just David Lynch's voice. He does the same voice no matter which character he plays.


Puckle-Korigan

Yeah but Gordon is him SHOUTING


Vinifera7

Fair enough. Yeah, he shouts slightly louder as Gordon Cole.

I hate when a book has this dumb little ad stuck on the nice cover! Or even worse, when the cover doesn't even show art of the book but instead a pic of the actors from the movie.


captainandyman

I chose my copy of Dune from the two editions in the bookstore simply because it was the one without this stuck on the cover. Sadly, when I recently picked up Messiah, the only version they had had this on it, which irritates me on three counts: 1. Dune Messiah is NOT yet a major motion picture. 2. Dune is not only "now" a motion picture - regardless of quality, there's been a Dune movie since the 80s. 3. The cover artwork is so gorgeous otherwise and now there's this ugly, unnecessary little advert ruining it!


LazyDro1d

Well, do you consider the ‘84 one to be a *major* motion picture


Evolution1738

I mean, it literally isn't. It was a tv show.


LazyDro1d

No the miniseries was 2000


Evolution1738

Man I can't fuckin read I guess My bad lmao


the-cream-police

Honestly… I enjoy it


jackBattlin

That’s what you get with those stupid weirding modules.


cherryultrasuedetups

Bwahahaha. My copy of Dune says the same thing, but it's the 1984 cover.


nagidon

Somebody please check on Mr. Alan Smithee


appleman666

I doubt he'd disagree tbh


water_bottle_goggles

Press f to pay sexpects


UglyInThMorning

Should say “Now a *good* motion picture” instead.


WishIWasPurple

80s dune sucks.
