emprworm Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I saw 2 versions of the movie for rent in my video store. I saw the one starring Sting many years ago, but i never saw the more recent one. Is it any good? I looked and looked on the main index this site under the Duniverse section for information on the movies, but couldnt find anything. I heard that there was a Directors cut of the movie starring STing that was like 3 1/2 hours long, I would love to see that if it exists. ANyone know anything about it?

AlteaDeo Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 you know that movies under the name of Alen Smithee are film of Lynch? That's just a nick name of film that he doesn't like, or just didn't approved everything ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 isn't 20th century fox making a dune movie, i heard rumors of it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Someone posted that on these forums a few months ago, but they were confused between Fox and the Sci-Fi channel, which is making another minseries based on Messiah and Children.

Frodo Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 oh, ok, i am sorry. That would have been cool though to see it in the theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Yeah, but it'l never happen. Not profitable, any attempt would lose money. And it would cost to much for an indy film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiliconWarrior Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Why make movies when you can get paid good money for just watching them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
