I managed to see the first half of the new edition of DUNE (yes, there was a flaw in the disc I was sent, but I did manage to "squeeze [some] blood out of [this] turnip"), and Mitch did an exceptional job with what I have seen thus far. The editing, the special effects, the picture quality...the seamless edits from extended scene to theatrical and vice versa...this was a great piece of work that I could not have done with the most simplest of software. This truly is the best version of DUNE that has been put together by anyone. Not even my hybrid cut compares with Mitch's version. It's too bad that not all of the deleted scenes on the official DVD couldn't make it into the context of Mitch's version, but what was there certainly enhances the experience.

We're working on a plan to get this out to all of you fans, so when the time is right I'll PM (private message) you and set some plans in motion.

The sleeper has truly awakened!
