actually the French Ultimate Edition now takes honors as the best looking version. Too bad they didnt get the WS Extended cut-or it would truly have been Ultimate

actually, if you check the back shrink-wrap, quite a few if not most discs are made in Mexico these days. thanks, NAFTA. note: it is not a "sticker" it is ink-stamped on the shrink-wrap, and probably purposely hard to see sometimes

Perfect version of the extended cut. (DL disc a must) It just so happens that ALL of the dreary "Prologue" happens to be on chapter one, cell one, of the disc-side 2. And all of the Theatrical cuts intro is also chapter one, cell one. a little tinkering and ZAM! The beautiful Princess...

agreed. the R1 Theatrical version has a lot of dirt specs and white specs (aka negative density) The French version is solid, crisp and virtually free of these artifacts. (I borrowed a copy) And the Extended version, (excepting the rather insipid prologue,) is very good in most spots...

>>it seems to be a DVD 18... bleh...

Ive gotten the French DUNE new for $ 25 on eBay.fr including postage nice 3 disc set anyone know-is the US a one disc-er-dvd 18?

I mean...how much could an extra disc in a double thin Amary set them back per set? They'll sell a kajillion of 'em- Universal-SPEND the extra $.25 per set-do the RIGHT thing...

ahh-I see Steve-im still not used to seeing links NOT being a different color-mine shows up in red, even 'secondary' links-usually are colored-like yours-so you would know to click on them... maybe its a setting in my browser cheers

I was wondering about that, Steve, but there is no reference link that I can see in your post, so I thought your post was maybe: posted by server out of que, or posting in reference to my post, OR commenting on the previous from today posts.... anyway 1st or 2nd-Great News! and I am always...

DUNE is BACK ON! JAN 31, 2006 according to: http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?...5748&n=1&burl= not sure I like the "double sided disc" DVD18

ive seen the screen shots of the new French UE theatrical version-stunning is too weak a word.

the French version is in fact darker, with far more detail and a 'solid' look. The UK looks blown out, contrast wise. It is stunning. If only they had included a widescreen directors cut. Anyone know about the cover? it looks almost like it is black felt with gold embossed lettering...

delete/dupe

Its been mentioned elsewhere that the R1 edition has been given the 'in limbo' release date of 12/31/200x. I would think if the release date was just over a month away we would be hammered with advertising...but then, recall that the Widescreen laserdisc was quietly slipped into the retail...

12/31/xxxx is usually a date assigned to a product to show it is on hold/delayed, to be rescheduled, etc. (and occaisionally even cancelled). that 2 disc remastered set from the UK due in a month is beginning to look pretty good now....

OK, thanks GM!

note that it now comes in a keep case-hopefully, the thin-2 disc case-instead of a metal tin. Perhaps they had problems encoding onto a single DVD 18, and had to go to 2 discs, and then had to cut costs-hence, no metal tin.

who IS this 'Sting'?:D

I would bet and hope that like some other DVD-18s in the past, ie: TERMINATOR)-demand will force them to use 2 DVD 9's (in the single case with the flap for disc 2)

The Bits list the Extended version as 177 mins, DVD Times list it at 190-at any rate, a BIG surprise that the alternate version is going to be 2.35 widescreen

>>Universal Studios Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Dune Extended Edition for 10th May 2005 priced at $27.98 SRP. Dazzling special effects, unforgettable images and powerful performances highlight David LynchÕs stunning film version of Frank Herbert's classic science...

well, I guess we can write off an enhanced for 16:9 version from Universal this year. A few months back a video store employee posted here that he saw it on solicitation sheets speculating its release in the Fall...
