There is somone working on a special edition that updates the effects shots.
I only got the TV cut recently but it has become a cherished DVD in my collection. The rdgion 1 steelbook It is the sort of film i would have a go at. It’s in the realm of “it did not go entirely as planned”.
There is no way i would add 2 prologues is this the redux version? With the book chapters?
The worst thing you can do to a lynch film is turn a visual cerebral feast in to a book! Although i can not say i have seen redux. I have seen the third stage and i really like it.
There needs to be another montage showing pauls daughter being born and so on. Too much missing material still and I say bring on the sick Harkonans. There is another cut fight when sting is in that steam thing acording to the script also.
I think it needs more Lynch weirdness less book personally. It’s about 20 minutes off being complete the TV cut. They had 4 hour+ workprint. It’s a shame David Lynch walked away from it but I can’t say i blame him he did an amazing job really.
