thank you so much! the DUNE movie is one of my favourite films. I really look forward to seeing this version! from what I've read, it seems like the ultimate version of the film so far. I hope that mr. Lynch will release an extended director's cut version sometime. Is it true that the original recordings of the film have been destroyed?

Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia, David has been approached several times by Universal to authorize a Director’s Cut of the film, but he has declined each time.

From the looks of things, the Third Stage Edition is going to be as close to a Director’s Cut as we are going to get.

I can only hope that after Lynch passes on, the rights of the film will transfer to his estate or another holder and then they will authorize a Director’s Cut to be released on DVD and BluRay.

Sorry, I forgot to use ‘Reply with Quote.’ I apologize for the double-post.
