Welcome to the Dune Special Edition Project

This is a project I have been slowly working on over the last few years with the goal of ultimately replacing many of the "outdated" special effects shots in David Lynch's 1984 version of Dune.
The project initially began as an endeavor to build a "proper" ornithopter - one with flapping wings, that neither the movie or the mini-series managed to achieve. However, with the advent of the "fan-edit" the scope of the project has expanded with the goal of updating the effects in all those places in the movie where I feel things could be significantly "improved."
Although I am currently working on this by Myself, it's a large undertaking and if there is anyone interested in helping this project along, feel free to contact Me - We might actually be able to get this project completed with a few more skilled and enthusiastic people!

DVD Packaging


Here's something amusing... found this old paper mock up I made for a 4-disc DUNE special edition DVD case.
It's closely based on the 4-disc Lord Of The Rings DVD packaging which I liked at the time.
Disc 1 was to contain the Special Edition.
Disc 2 would have the theatrical cut and possibly the extended edition - though I loathe that version.
Disc 3 would have behind the scenes documentaries and so forth
Disc 4 would contain updated versions of Cryo's DUNE and Westwood's DUNE 2 (Dune 2000)
and there was to be a booklet with "pop-up" elements!


It's all a bit out of date now, so have started revamping the design for Blu-Ray!

    When it comes to buying a favorite movie, I LOVE special features. Lord of the Rings-style box-sets are a personal favorite, even though a lot of people don't care about the box.

    Honestly, if the box doesn't have visuals that excite me, I probably won't pick it up. That's something to keep in mind.

    As far the film itself, I personally like an exciting menu (nothing static), as well as lots of "behind the scenes" stuff. With all the work you're putting into it, you should have enough material to talk about as well as concept art throughout the various stages.

    Here's hoping!
