1905 Movie Network News As an IP that cannot be bypassed in the science fiction circle, "Dune" has always been the focus of the audience's attention. Recently, foreign media reported that David Lynch's version of "Dune" will return to North American theaters on February 18 and 19, 2024, and will be released for two days. At the same time, this is also the 40th anniversary of the release of Lynch's version of "Dune."
In 1984, the filming of "Dune" was finally completed after many twists and turns, but director David Lynch was quite dissatisfied with the film. During the filming process, the budget was increased several times; during the editing process, the producer intervened several times. In the end, the 4-hour rough cut and 3-hour director's edit were compressed into two hours for release. In a rage, David Lynch deleted his name from the credits and replaced it with Alan Smithey, a famous "pseudonym director" in the film industry. In the world of science fiction, the status of the novel "Dune" is comparable to "The Lord of the Rings". The universe-level narrative dimension, the epic-level personal growth process, and the complex character relationships and political struggles have all pushed this novel to the status of a "masterpiece".
In today's Hollywood, "Dune" to be released in 2021 is directed by Denis Villeneuve, and the second part of the film has already been filmed. The story will "explore Paul's great and mysterious journey, as he joins forces with Qini and the Fremen to exact revenge on those who conspired to destroy his family. Paul must choose between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe. And work hard to prevent the terrible future that only he can foresee." In addition, the filming of "Dune 3" has also been put on the agenda. The script is partially completed. The third part will be adapted from the novel "Dune: Messiah".
