Michael Mann should also revisit THE KEEP.
This seems to sum up the issues…

Bummer.
Well the alternate ending is found but the Special effects are obviously “never got done”.
So it is possible to salvage what remains to be found is if they kept the rest of the cut footage for the Keep which is unlikely.
At least with Dune they have everything.
I would hope that also means Dino kept everything for Conan the Barbarian also. Which personally I would love to see all the outs and trims and an uncensored version. Probably my favourite film it’s hard to have a 100% favourite I think.
Found an interesting still from Austrailian collectors edition dvd.

What is that device on the wall? This is from Geidi Prime. I don’t recall that being in the film and I am wondering if it was say a sort of intercom. Would this be Thuffers prision cell?
There was to be a scene where Thuffer does his best to screw up the Harkonnans whilst he is in captivity although there was only so much he could do.
Edit ok that device is in the choam ornithopter it is in the film…
But I have figured something out.
Duncan was meant to have his own ship.
Paul looking up when talking to leto he saw him leaving.
He may have also of meant to see him get to Aarakis whilst dreaming while he is muttering travelling moving before he wakes.
When Leto is in Pauls room the guy who knocks on the door “Unknown Objects on screen” although it’s a bit of an edit if that was “Unknown OBJECT on screen” cut to duncans craft then Duncan greets Duke Leto so although the Harkonnen fleet are approaching this kind of does a bait and switch.
The other thing I am wondering about is Leto’s inner monologue about “Jessica what is wrong, I should have married you” now the note Jesdica has when shadout mapes comes in with the Chrysknife was meant to be from Leto saying “I miss you…” I wonder if this monologue and that note somehow are meant to join together before Shadoubt Mapes enters.
