There was a mini series in 2000.

The film is superb,

however for some stupid reason, the film is only in stereo,

there is a dd mix & directors cut but its pan and scan only i believe

I caught the back end of a radio interview that said there was a 2nd film, that covered the 8 years after Dune, could have been the mini series,....!

One of the best Sci-fi books ever. I still read it (in fact this has inspired me to take it on holiday this year and read it again).

Great film aswell. One of Lynch's most accessible (apart from The Straight Story and The Elephant Man)

Never heard of a second film though. I've read the rest of the books in the series and tbh they're a bit dissapointing - not a patch on Dune.

Theres were two mini series i think, Dune and Children of Dune, the latter was on Sci-Fi fairly recently. Might be worth a look on the website?

Think it must have been the mini series.....


going to watch the film again, the missus was gabin through it all and i missed some vital bits..... Women and sci-fi dont mix :-)

He who controls the spice controls the universe!

The film took five years to make. Bloody hell people could have died in that time!!!

Ive just bought the film in hmv following this thread lol!!!

I got the 2 disc Special Edtion Box Set. Includes 32 page booklet.

Although it appears to be the 137min long Directors Cut and not the 190min Special Edition it claims to be! Sound is only Dolby 5.1 or 2.0 - Yuk! Which means i cant set the surround sound up for it properly.

Nice box though

Read the books , watched the film, watched both mini series. Verdict...bloody fantastic!

Just read that the 190min version is the televised version containing outtakes and newly commisioned sets/material anyway. Which David Lynch disowned and put his name to it as Alan Smithee, and credited himself as Judas Booth for the screenplay.

The budget for the film must have been huge!!!!!! 5 years and the sets were very impressive for the day....

Anyone no were it was filmed...?

Oh yer watched it again ( without the missus ) and it made a lot more sense :-)
