Tezcatlipoca Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I was curious if anyone knew where I might be able to obtain a (preferbly new and official) copy of the director's cut of Lynch's 1984 Dune with a Region 1 compatability. Mind you, I don't mean the "extended television" version, I mean the more obnoxiously hard to find Director's Cut. I heard the most readily availible one is a japanese version, but I assume that that may just be in japanese, and that it probably doesn't have Region 1 compatability.

Gamont Gambler Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think there is an official Director's cut...yet. :'(The Japanese disc contains both the theatrical and TV version which is why it is so long!! i.e. two movies strung together, NOT a 5 hour version of one movie.There is a "Special Edition" from Sanctuary coming out on October 6th (at least in the UK).Details are vague at the moment as it seems to be listed as both Region 2 and Region 0 and is given a running time of 177 mins!!This is not the TV version (disowned by Lynch) but the running time could be a mistake?The theatrical cut was about 130 mins so if the listing is correct we will get an extra 47 mins!!Hope so! 8)Details here:http://www.blackstar.co.uk/video/item/7000000082006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Same here. . think that tape is even more locked up then the Sapruder film. Sofar as I have heard of it's not availeble for public consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShadow Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Just to add that the Sanctuary Special Edition already "appeared" on this forum, in the Duniverse section, in which I think this thread should also belong.Here is the link to that "old" thread (August 06, 2003).Also, I never asked Orlok about that, as Mahdi suggested, so it might be a good idea to do that...

Egeides Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I don't know if there's any official director's cut, but I know there's a director's cut on eDonkey (www.edonkey2000.com). Just type "dune director" in the search query under "video" format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
