[HanzSygnal]

This was the last major Alan Smithee film I believe. 

[AnimalJihad23]

@HanzSygnal

Alan Smithee in fact is David Lynch^^

[HanzSygnal]

@AnimalJihad23 ha, i know brother. brilliant film "a sleeper must awaken".

[AnimalJihad23]

@HanzSygnal

without change..something sleeps inside us...and seldom awakens.

[Dear1Stupit1Dog]

"Hurry, all i see is darkness" haha i love that line, its so corny

[angryDAnerd]

EPIC

[Issara86]

awesome movie!!

[Dracopol]

Patrick Stewart had a minor role in this movie. He played a "baliset" which was actually a heavily modified Chapman Stick (not sure if that scene made it into the movie or was a DVD extra).

[BolletjeFZR]

great Movie

How can this be???

[700gsteak]

@700gsteak For He Is the Kwisatz Haderach!

[weezie422]

Watching this movie introduced me to the awesome books which I hadn't known about. So I will always have a special geek spot for the movie, even though it isn't the best adaption.

[nova423]

They should just destroy the spice and end this god awful movie!

[AnointedByTheHolyOne]

That place before time/space is light and that light is God the Father for I have seen and that is the water of life.

[nova423]

OH my god this movie is terrible, and the anecdote about the Guild suits being used body bags just makes me hate this movie more!

[Johnlindsey289]

@nova423

I know this movie is nothing but a horrible parody of the novels and the ending was retarded as hell

[nova423]

@Johnlindsey289 They should redo a la SyFy 2000....but with 2011 special effects and for the love of pete lets get some decent actors!

[Johnlindsey289]

@nova423

Maybe Alfonso Cauron of Children of Men fame should direct. Besides Star Wars is already the same thing as Dune and even Avatar by James Cameron is the same thing as Dune since Cameron was influenced by one of his favorite books besides John Carter of Mars for Avatar.

[nova423]

@Johnlindsey289 Yea the same story has been used, slightly tweaked, for all of the major space opera franchises since the book came out. Children of Men was a great flick he would be a great director. Terry Gilliam probably would have an interesting take as well.

[Johnlindsey289]

@nova423

Gilliam would be good but would you compare Gilliam to David Lynch? i mean both are cult directors you know. Star Wars and Avatar are definitely both Dune rewritten as you gotta admit since they are similar to Herbert's book even the Na'Vi are like the Freman but as literally aliens instead of humans and Tatoonie is basically Arakkis redone.

[nova423]

@Johnlindsey289 Same story, slightly tweaked. Any body but Chris Columbus should direct...he ruined Harry Potter...the only nerd franchise not influenced by Dune. I heard Gilliam was going to direct the first one, but the studio ousted him instead of Columbus. Christopher Nolan could make and amazing Dune remake, or maybe the team that redid Star Trek. Hope they are reading this!!!

[Jayjen35]

@nova423 My god if you can find a decent actor out of the pack of hyenas they have traipsing around Hollywood these days YOU should direct a "remake".

I'm sure you'll love once they "tweak" the story to make it twi-tard friendly.

And if you want to see a seriously crap version of Dune try the SciFi channel's remake. Clearly it was made by frustrated 15yr old boys.

[johnnyLikeVideo]

5 tried and died.

[Urdalibertine]

This brings me back to my college days.

[Johnlindsey289]

This movie is a terrible abortion of an adaptation, David Lynch was a miscast director for such a movie when Sci-fi is not his gig when it could have been Alejandro Jorowosky or Ridley Scott to adapt my fave novel. I can hope the new 3 part big screen Dune movie will do the book justice, besides Star Wars, The Matrix and Avatar are already the same thing as Dune.

[Spyder8561]

Smoke DMT...you too can be the Kwisatz Haderach.

[MagnificentBastard12]

@Spyder8561 amen to that

[Spyder8561]

@MagnificentBastard12 lol

[panflutelistener]

yah I hear they're making a remake of doom, which is awesome.. but they're gonna put robert pattinson as Paul Atreides? are you KIDDING me?! *facepalm* I say they should put Ben Barnes instead.

[Johnlindsey289]

@panflutelistener

Ben Barnes would be good.

[Ypipable]

Look ahead and reach for the sky while doing pike. Think of a weirding module.

[kd4adv]

Sean Young is HOT!! :) 

[Ypipable]

Dive.

[StackCityEntOfficial]

i dont understand any of what i just saw

[solnegrolunaroja]

@StackCityEntOfficial I suggest you read something about esoteric yoga, alchemy, neuroloinguistic pogramming and history of religions, specially hinduism, esoteric christianism and islam. It's very hard to understand, that's why the movie didn't succeed comercially. It's the death of the self to awaken what is divine inside us. That places exist within us.

[StackCityEntOfficial]

@solnegrolunaroja so basically...acid? lol

[solnegrolunaroja]

@StackCityEntOfficial :D I wish it was that easy, I would be the Kwisatz Haderack by now! XD

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

The Water Of Life may go up to over £4 a pint due to a global wheat shortage...

[Gizziiusa]

@ludwigvonsteampole1 What do the spice girls have to say about that ?

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

@Gizziiusa The Spice Girls took The Water Of Life in turn but alas after consumption where banished to a life of almost total obscurity...

[Gizziiusa]

@ludwigvonsteampole1 well at least they didnt go the route of Brittany Spears and shave their head trying to look like a bene-gersit ! (sp?).

But fair enough, now I know ;)

[jakeythewolf]

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

[FuckinLittleDreamer]

@jakeythewolf I see the pineal gland produces a dozes of DMT thisis what the litany is about.

[KingSilent1]

BEST SCENE OF THE MOVIE !

[lastoldlady]

I didn't how they cut the part out how he got the water of life. DRINK THE WATER OF LIFE POEPLE!

[mikeakaspike]

can't wait for the new one with modern special effects to come out, of course this version will always be my favorite from nostalgia.

[Tommy1977777]

@mikeakaspike:

when is the new version coming out? does anyone have any info about this?

[mikeakaspike]

well if you look it up on wikipedia, it looks like a big production company has bought the rights to make the movie and they had a director signed up and everything was going smoothly, then the director decided to quit and now it looks like they are searching for a new director as far as I know.

[Johnlindsey289]

@mikeakaspike

What do you think of the mini-series and it's sequel? and do you think the closet similar movies to Dune are Stargate, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Avatar, Heavy Metal, The Dark Crystal, Krull, Flash Gordon, Star Trek and Star Wars movies, Dark City etc.?

[mikeakaspike]

@Johnlindsey289 unfortunatly I haven't seen the mini series yet because I just got all 6 books and I want to read them all before I watch them, as far as the movies listed, I think that dune greatly differs from most of those, simply because it's the messiah model.. there is a character with a hidden ability that has a destiny to change the world and so on, and of course there are other similar issues but I find that many of the main themes relate to avatar, unubtanium and the spice are paralels

[Johnlindsey289]

@mikeakaspike

James Cameron is a big fan of the Dune novels and used that with Heavy Metal magazine as his inspirations for Avatar. and would you compare this to The Fifth Element? i've heard simliarties. Both are Sci-fi fantasy movies about perfect beings trying to save the world, both have similar costumes, creatures and all.

[zeroinfinit]

@Johnlindsey289 The tone is very different, though. The Fifth Element is goofy, while Dune is DEADLY SERIOUS.

[Johnlindsey289]

@zeroinfinit

I think Fifth Element is just a more fun version of Dune and it is from the director of Leon (a.k.a. The Professional).

[leetatron]

FATHER !!! THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED!!

I want to see a remake of this great story. :)

[jdw99]

Sci-Fi channel did make a good remake, a mini-series called Frank Herbert's Dune. They also did a sequel combining Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.

[letsgetthisoverwith]

But there was no God emperor of Dune. That one is the best of the dune saga and they were actually going to make it if this movie succeeded. Dune, Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune. It was supposed to be a trillogy, but...

[bronzlex]

it was remade for television !! Lynch complained that he wasnt given enough time or money by the studio... it should be re-made and the director should be given all the resources he needs to make the film. i would go see it.

[MrBummelum]

A new version is planed by Paramount. They want Neill Blomkamp to direct his version of the book.

[unincorporated1]

@leetatron They made a remake in 2000 on the SyFy channel, although they revealed more of the story, it was nowhere near as good as the original 1984 masterpiece.

[Johnlindsey289]

@unincorporated1

Oh please 1984's movie is an unholy mess.

[drunkendolphin77]

@leetatron great story? the movie suck ass!

[ListenToMcMuck]

@leetatron So get yourself a camera & try 2 remake...

I offer myself 2 play the role of Shai-Hulud

if U´re able 2 place a plumpser close enough 2 me.

^([)]^

@ranxid THX 4 showing this version... |(8]|

[johnnyLikeVideo]

@leetatron they might as well.  They've remade everything else in the 80's.

[dananim]

too much butane allows you to see other dimensions my friend told me

[PleiadesSeven]

woahhh, that was some tequila. . . . .

[Chairmaneoin]

this isn't how it happened in the book...

[bronzlex]

true.. many things are differant. ex.- Paul was 14yrs old when he arrived on Arakkis.

[devinsiegel7]

nothing like the book but whatever, david lynch is still a master

[spaceorbison]

This is probably the most magnificent sci fi story of all time. The only problem is that it never had a good screen portrayal. I think whoever did Enemy Mine would have made this a good movie *shrugs*. Someone but not David Lynch, its not his area of expertise imo.

[jone4s]

i´m sorry, but imho the film is way better than the book... enemy mine is a cheap movie.. although i like it when i watched it as a kid......... ;)

[youtizzleable]

no, no NO!, you dont run over the dunes, goddamit

[jmm1233]

like the edit , putting the march on a scene

[JohnnyAnonic]

and that's why you should never drink homemade beer

[viper8red]

@JohnnyAnonic Bahahah good comment!

[sckryde]

hahaha

Paul is on DMT..

[ranxid]

That is an interesting thought. Very intuitive thinking on your part I will always think this is why they protect the spice beds from now on!

[ranxid]

all lynch fans should check out "Dark Night of the Soul." npr has it to listen for free at thier web site. lynch does the last track!!

[wozza2341]

Although the final version doesn't really tell the full story, its ambience is what makes it my favourite sci-fi film. It helps to have read the book to follow what is going on. This is my favourite scene, but what happened to 'the Prophecy theme' by Brian Eno? Is this a different edit?

[77Fortran]

This reminds me much of Michael Mann's film 'The Keep'. Many fans of the original novel in that case are similarly unhappy (though this time including the author), but I thought the ambience was superb.

[rat4cooler]

Paul's father on travel: "A man needs new experiences... without change, something sleeps inside us." Paul: "The Sleeper Has Awakened!!" Translation- Wow, I'm really enjoying my vacation.

[LEEDSRHINOS1]

the key part of the movie the prophecy is fuffilled

[acz0190]

the water of life is a poison that comes from the worms.there is a prophecy about an out of world man who takes this water of life gains prescience memories, frees all the people of dune and rules the universe many have tried and died offcourse.thats what i remember read the book years ago.

[stevensjobs]

what was in that water and what was the significant of it. educate me someone. also why the worms came out and didnt attack it has been years since i saw this film i was young and didnt get it that much.

[aarondmtz2178]

don't know what was in the water, but man he saw some CRAZY stuff when he drank it... I think he goes telepathic on them or something...so the wrms don't attack because they know he's "The One" or something like that. NUTS!

[Jayjen35]

The "water of life" is not actually water at all. It is bile taken from new-born sandworms.

My guess is that it is akin to extremely, very highly concentrated spice, since we learn later, in this scene in fact that the spice is in fact the desiccated bodies of the sand worms. I guess the spice mines are kinda like "elephant grave yards" for the sandworms, which is why they protect the spice sands.

[Doctadeth]

And by terraforming arrakis in the last scene, paul ended up killing the worms after all.

[andy12mac]

he only terraformed part of the planet, the deep south reserved for the worms. if you read the books, it all becomes clear!!

[frenehld]

actually the water of life is from a drowned sandworm

[KDavis418]

@Jayjen35 If you go through all the books the spice is part of their reproductive cycle.

[aarondmtz2178]

Sean Young before she went batshit crazy! so hot!

[TMundo]

did she go crazy? what happened to her.

[aarondmtz2178]

I think she auditioned for the role of Catwoman and Michelle Pfeifer got it... so then Sean went on some talk show in the "FULL ON" Catwoman character and talked smack about the movie studios for not choosing her... since then she never really worked all that much anymore... too bad.

[superawesomepowerran]

Chani plays such a small part in this film, they could take her out and there wouldn't be much of a difference.

[JanischAllen]

Just got done reading Dune tonight. So naturally I'm geeking. I can't believe that the dude from Sex in the City is my boy Maud'Dib. But the sandworm scene I just watched was OK.

[BWF89]

Paul was tripping balls on that stuff. I guess that's why you'd expect from a book that was written in the 60's.

[ImmortalFlame666]

Who ever controls the weed...controls the city.

[stevensjobs]

lol lol

[elespaciodeedu]

How is the name of the instrumental song ?

[ElectroMagnetiX]

good question, possibly keyboard synthesizer.

[elespaciodeedu]

Possily of Steve Porcaro

[andy12mac]

the music is by toto vailable on cd, its brilliant

[maromo1]

The good thing of this version is that it is as weird and creepy as the original book, the TV version was star wars lol.

[halostarwarsfreak13]

Wrong, ALL WRONG, this was horrible... Frank Herbert should've been ashamed of this movie. And doesn't Chani only refer to Maud'Dib as Usul in the book? David Lynch: YOU RUINED DUNE.

[cruxvader]

I think he secretly was. read the eye, you get alot of his feelings from it.

[halostarwarsfreak13]

I most certainly will, thanks :)

[TMundo]

halostarwarsfreak13, Originally the version David Lynch submitted was 4 hours long, but the film company woouldn't let that happen, so lynch cut an hour or so off the movie and replace some stuff with this scene. Of course Lynch most likely embellished in areas where he shouldn't have, but the film didn't come out the way he wanted due to pressure from the company in charge.

[PleiadesSeven]

interestingly, the first version Herbert an et al saw was long, and H was satisfied and happy with it until studios mucked it up. Even less known:weirdly when I first saw the movie at nine years old in the theater in Calfornia what I saw was longer than what was later released in other theaters and on video. So. There is ALOT of weirdness surrounding the release of Dune -- but I loved it anyways, more than V and that is saying something.

[krist300]

this movie obviously had great potential, but the result was a disaster.

[tablatom]

Know this. David made it 8 hours, but it was cut to 2hours, thats why it is not as good as it would have been

but what mr Lynch did crete is my favourite SCI-FI sceens ever created.

Its genius.

[DarkHeartedMusician]

This scene is quite different from the book. In the book, he is in a cave when he drinks the water of life. And, he is out for a few weeks. Interesting interpretation of the scene though.

[buidseach]

MMM nothing like moonshine worm juice

[hiramewastaken]

"No. Paul. Please."

[jerryfudala]

WOW!! 4:56, Muadib got some nice pearly whites after being in the desert and drinkin that stank worm juice...

[klaphat90210]

cool movie :-)

[Otheym]

That's the long version.... I prefer the theatrical version for this scene... cause of Eno's "Prophecy theme"

[DavidFullam]

Yeah, they totally botched the soundtrack in the extended version.

[andy12mac]

this has to be one of the best bits of the film, paul takes the water of life and changes the chemistry from a poison. enchanting.

[Babsfanalltheway]

Does anyone know if Francesca Annis plays a big or small role in this film?

[Ashworth6]

Her role in the film is fairly big, although she gets a lot less to do in the last half hour and kind of fades into the background a bit.

[Babsfanalltheway]

Thanks - I am a fan of FA so I might rent this out.

[shiftyandjoe]

does she even have a line when they reach the sietch?

[Otheym]

An huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge role... She's Lady Jessica...

[coker10]

Just realized something. This all must've happened before dawn or is Lynch play with light; Paul having passed through the ritual.

paul does not drink a few sips of the water or life... he has but one drop of the raw water from the stunted maker! he goes into a catatonic state, appering dead, for 3 weeks, not a couple or minutes!

[chickenb0ne]

Did you want to see him in a catatonic state for 3 months? who said he was not in the movie.

The book is always better

[Malldibion]

The movie itself is a Lynch's vision of Dune, it isn't just an animated book. And for me it's still a great movie.

Yeah, book's always better.

[lars3939]

YES would LOVE to see a person in a coma for 3 months, GREAT cinema...lol

(not aimed at you, just some people make the lamest comments)

[chickenb0ne]

lol sorry

i was really drunk when i made that comment

[TMundo]

lynch was forced to cut down the movie and replace it with this scene.  It wasn't his initial intention to have this scene in the film if I remember correctly.

[recoveringcarnivore]

solipsistic heaven

[answerator2]

Bene Gesserith in Arabic means 'the Children of the Peninsula'. The Arabic Peninsula, that is, Jeziret ul Arab.. Yes he constructed a great World, Frank Herbert, the genius.

[frodo322]

I miss Sean Young!!

[sweetplumeria]

are you going to post the entire movie on here?

[Th3ba1r0n]

in the scifi version, it showed that if the spice stopped, the planet would become green, the benijezerts and the emporer knew this from pauls father, and they knew of Pauls coming. Those alien things were evolved humans who abandond their human form to become moving brains:3

[Penlager]

Its an interesting a dark movie... great if nothing else is on....

[gh0s7walk3r]

there was a dune made in 2000!? was it any good??

[jumpingmattflash]

yah it wasnt too bad, it was made for TV

[Zad087]

No the 2000 verson was horrible, they shouldnt have messed with a good thing.

[Jayjen35]

It was horrific. I thought that it was as though they'd gone through it and tried to "simplify" it. What it wound up being was a watered-down mess.

I especially hated what they did to the Bene Gesserit . Really made them seem like nothing but a wimpy band of girls. Which of course meant nothing else made a whole lot of sense.  Very bad, even the art direction was bad!

[GardenDiva75]

That's odd,Frank Herbert seemed to like it very much despite it's departures from the original text .The minisieries in it's attempt at regurgitating precise dialogue from the book was so poorly cast as to make it unwatchable.Lynch had Herbert physically with him on the set didn't he?That should indicate that the "feel" and visual impact of the Lynch movie was as quite close to what the author envisioned.

[Jayjen35]

The Lynch 1984 movie isn't the one that I was referring to, but the 2000 John Harrison, version presented as a mini series by the Sci-Fi channel.

Although IMDb says that both movies are pretty much rated the same I have to say that the Sci-Fi channel version is really abysmal. As I said it was horribly watered down, everything that made the atmosphere so extraordinary in the Lynch version was dumped and now mediocre, like a version of Battlestar Galactica.

And the Bene Gesserit became..

[Jayjen35]

...a bunch of scared and confused girls. Hardly the trained political manipulators and assassins that the universe lived in fear of.

But I will say the movie, The Children of Dune was much much better.
