Background
Dune - The Third Stage Edition is a fan attempt to create an extended version of the theatrical release of the film.
This version attempts to remain faithful to David Lynch's vision.
Project details
This is a special widescreen edit of David Lynch's DUNE that reintegrates footage from the Extended Cut, as well as some deleted scenes, while attempting to preserve Lynch's vision. Also, unfinished extended scenes have been fixed so eyes are digitally colored blue. The movie has been edited in such a way to preserve much of the sound and music of the theatrical cut, while incorporating Lynch's scenes from the Extended Cut. Removed are the unapproved prologue paintings, male narrator, and fake "constructed" scenes from the Extended Cut. Various drafts of the script have been used to put scenes in a logical order.
