Dune Complete
I really loved both Dune films and wasn’t planning on making an edit, but when I saw the final scene from Dune Part 2, I knew I needed to create one to turn it into 1 long epic movie. I’m not going to be simply stitching the 2 parts together I’ll be cutting some scenes out to make the movie flow a bit better and to cut down on runtime, as well as some slight restructuring of the film. I’m moving the intro to part 2 until after Lady Jessica looks over the burning of the city, before continuing onto Duke Leto’s death. I’ve shortened the movie from around 5 and a half hours to around 4 and a half hours, still lengthy but way more manageable
The Edit is complete so send me a PM if interested, The file is around 9.5 Gigs. I’ve included my cut list below.
Edited Part 1 out of the title card
3:52-5:43 Removed breakfast scene between Paul and Jessica. It introduces the voice and the Bene Gesserict, but these are better introduced later on.
7:45-9:13 Removed dialogue between Leto, Gurney and Thurfit, to improve pacing and also remove the call and response between the Emperor’s announcer and Duke Leto
12:54-16:18 Removed conversation between Paul and Leto, it’s a good bonding moment between them, but I really want to get to the Gom Jobbar scene within the first 20 minutes
17:21-17:55 & 18:12-18:15 Trimmed training fight between Paul and Gurney
19:05-20:47 Removed first scene on Ghedi Prime
26:00-26:08 & 26:21-26:26 Edited out some of Jessica’s crying during the scene to make the character appear stronger. It’s still clear she’s scared for Paul, but she maintains more of her inner strength
42:58-44:38 Removed tree scene, it does have some world building in it, but it slows down the pacing too much
55:25-56:14 Removed conversation between Paul, Duncan, and Gurney, doesn’t really add anything we already know how great their bond is.
73:38-73:56 Removed lady Jessica walking down a hallway and crying
Moved scene of them finding Baron Harkonnen to before Duncan meets with Kynes
97:32 Add Prologue to Dune Part II
