Thanks you very much Fanfiltration!

Surprise!

David Lynch's

DUNE - Third Stage

What is it?

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.

We have been working on this is secret for the past year and it is very close to a release.

Here is a link to the trailer -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dvk6lONZKQ

Ofcourse when it is released more information will be provided.

Enjoy!

And thanks to all that have helped us on this project.

Can you believe there is a third version of dune to be filmed.  Written by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert.

My favorite will always be the Lynch version although the sci channel version starring William Hurt is more true to the novel.

Nothing has or will ever come close to Lynchs version! But this is my general opinion. I hope you like the DVD set.

I was wondering if anyone wanted to head up a DUNE - THIRD STAGE DVD cover?  Please contact me if interested!

We never even had covers for the Highlander versions we did either!

My PC's on the fritz at the moment (faulty PSU / CPU fan or heatsink) and if I do anything intensive... it dies on me. So I've got quite a lot of cover work and video encoding I need to get done (once I get the damn thing fixed). But in a week or two I could take a crack at it...

Thanks man!!! ;-)

Here some basic specs for the back cover - 

David Lynch's DUNE: The Third Stage Edition

What is it about?  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.  Our intent was to make an extended cut of DUNE that would treat Lynch with respect.

This version of DUNE would be very interesting for me to see.  As with "Superman", I too attempted a personal project of the extended cut.  For those of you not familiar with my work...this was a version that used all the legitimate footage that existed at the time of the extended cut's issue (including the violence of the theatrical cut), but eliminating as much as possible the repeated footage that caused David Lynch to take his name off the credits, as well as restoring Lynch's name in the main and end credits.  I did leave in the painted prologue of the TV version and the theatrical prologue in a way that each part of the film is its own movie, with Part I being narrated by the male narrator and Part II narrated by Princess Irulan (one scene from Part Two of the TV version had narration from the male narrator that had to be left there for continuity purposes).

I did see FanFiltration's earlier attempt at his extended version (with the blue-within-blue-eyes effect restored to the TV scenes), but as I can imagine will be nothing like the "Third Stage" version.

I too am interested in this version.  I still have my hybrid version of DUNE on hand if anyone is interested somewhere down the road if the "Third Stage" version is ever completed.

Good luck, guys.

That is sweet!!!!!

 Here is a plot summary I whipped up!  Maybe you can add a tagline?

Release is COMING SOON!!!

Count me among those who are totally psyched for this version.  I am a huge fan of the famously flawed flick (both theatrical and TV version) and a fan edit done right could be the answer to my prayers.

This release will be up soon! For those interested keep an eye out!

I think you all are gonna love it. Heck! just the blue eyes being finally fully completed (WIDESCREEN) in the extra scenes is a plus.

I will also be able to get you my cover in a day or two.

Thanks guys!!! I can't wait -

Final Burn for the the Dual Layer came at exactly 7:30 am today.

I will upload it somewhere in the land of the demons early next week.

It's finally finshed! ;-)

COOL!

this movie have a special place for me ,it's the very first movie i saw "alone" (without parents) in theaters.

i was with a good friend and despite the fact we didnt understood the story (i was 11) we were fascinated with the images.

also 2 month later i lost my dad ,it took me a long time before i went to theater again and my life change completly....

i never saw the extended version despite i own the dvd and havent read the book yet, yeah i know,i know i really should do something about this  : )
