Dune Deleted Scene - Baby Worm / Water of Life

This scene was cut from the theatrical release of Dune, but is included in the "Extended Edition"

188. INT. ROCK LEDGE - HALL OF RITES - SIETCH TABR - NIGHT

...

Stilgar motions to Paul. STILGAR
(whispering to Paul)
Do you know the Water of Life?... Come...
...Watch... the mystery of mysteries... the
end and the beginning.

He shows Paul through a narrow passageway -- almost a slot through the stone to a small room. Through an opening in the stone wall, Paul is shown a very strange and somewhat horrifying scene.


189. INT. BABY WORM - MAKER ROOM - SIETCH TABR - NIGHT

A thirty-foot baby worm is being lowered into a stone chamber. The chamber is then covered with a wire top. Valves are turned and water rushes into the chamber. The worm begins to writhe violently and SMOKE pours from it. The worm dissolves partially and suddenly, before it dies, it secretes a dark blue bile out its mouth. It spasms and dies.

189A. INT. MAKER ROOM - SIETCH TABR - NIGHT

The bile and worm water are combined into ceremonial containers. Paul turns to Stilgar. STILGAR
The Water of Life. PAUL
(inner voice)
The most lethal poison in the Universe.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@jogu78 yes and it is made from genuine PISS. it should be labeled as PISS IN A BOTTLE because that is exactly what it is.

@ganonsam117 You kidding?! The miniseries was ten times better then the movie! The characters were far more developed and more well rounded. You MAYBE could argue the ones in the movie were more emotional but the ones in the Miniseries were actually better suited from the book!

Want more Proof?

David Lynch's Dune: Lost over 10 million dollars in the box office and was critically panned by critics

Frank Herbert's Dune: Nominated for three Emmy awards and won two of them.

So, the water of life is worm vomit?

Ambergirs is whale vomit.

Now you know where Frank Herbert probably got the idea.

[ganonsam117]

@ganonsam117 and plus the 3D graphics were virtually non-existent, if they were around then, it is a fair bet that they would have been used

[ganonsam117]

@irk45554 Not necessarily the issue with the movie was just that, it was a movie. It had to leave out many of the details that the mini-series was able to add. A mini-series you can easily add as many details for you don't have the audience for a set time period. The movie, unlike the series though, captures the emotion and ideals of the characters far better than the mini-series. However, each focuses on different aspects. The movie is more practical and grim, the mini-series on the decadence

[irk45554]

Mini series better than a sock puppet, plus the David lynch version of dune crap anyway. Mini serise far more in line with the book then film

[ZiddersRooFurry]

@RobinsTaste They got sued by the makers of Slurm(TM)

[podycheck]

@kranktank bile from the worm that it pukes up when it dies. The spice is super-concentrated in there.

[DarthRushy]

cooler than the miniseries version.

[Bob123419]

@kranktank But is it better than the sandworm shit they snort?
