Dune (1984) Extended Edition?

[Aristeas]

Is this actually going to be available?  I've seen websites that offer it but they all have release dates for this year.

well it seems so, there is already an offer on amazon.com

It's already available in France ! But It's a 3DVD box named "ULTIMATE EDITION"

[Aristeas]

Have you seen it?  Is it good?  I've heard mixed reviews.

I've already seen the TV version by P2P (omg), and i found it good. But on theses DVD, the TV version is sub-titled in French. I'm sure thanks to this, the Anal Smithee version wille be broadcasted in French territory.

But, yes, I think that Lynch's movie was really based on the novel, but there was Dino de Laurentiis

I didn't enjoy the TV version as much as Lynch's.  Yes, it was more true to the books but it just didn't capture the grandeur the way Lynch's flick did.  Anyway, I heard the extended edition was edited badly and Lynch didn't want his name on it because of that. Then someone else said it was far better than the theatrical release because it explained more things.  Ah well...either way...I'm buying it

That's why I prefer the TV version.... And the Jamis death is very emotionnal
