‘What the Fuck Was This?’: Behind the 1984 ‘Dune’ Promotional Tour

Four gala premieres, a very excited cast, and David Lynch at the White House with the Reagans—Dune had a lot going for it. And a lot working against it.

I would love to see the “lost” footage mentioned in this article. Would make a great expanded mini series for some streamer. I know after this flopped that a four hour version ended up in syndicated TV, but this article mentions there’s like seven hours of cut scenes!

    I like both, but I agree 100% with your characterization of the original movie. The world of the distant future, and even the cultures within it, should feel utterly bizarre and occasionally incomprehensible. I love the original movie.
