Title: Epic Dune story made today would work
Review: This DVD should be great. But people looking for a complete or mythical 6 hour version are the same people looking for the Holy Grail. This is the best we are going to get it seems. (Unless they can find missing footage. Was it mysteriuosly destroyed like Blue Velvets?) After the Lord of the Rings success I hope filmakers revisit the Dune Series. The Lynch one is great and visually stunning, but the books and further story have much to relate to in today's world.(Robots going wild, the drug trade, bad Leaders, war etc.) Someone like Peter Jackson should make the Dune series of movies. A master at making thick and interesting literary material into a visual narrative he could and should make the Dune books a reality. If the unfilmable Lord of the Rings can be made, and made well, Dune deserves another look. until that happens, this DVD should be watched and put in the context of Lynch's life and films. Which is of the highest quality.
