6. Questions about the films

------------------------------

6.1 What is the movie _Dune_?

_Dune_ was made into a movie of the same title, and is available on
video. The movie was directed by David Lynch (of Twin Peaks and
Eraserhead fame), produced by Rafaella de Laurentiis, and starred: Kyle
MacLachlan (Paul Muad'Dib), Jurgen Prochnow (Leto), Sean Young (Chani),
Francesca Annis (Jessica), Dean Stockwell (Dr. Yueh), Virginia Madsen
(Irulan), Patrick Stewart (Gurney), Jose Ferrar (Shaddam IV), Sting
(Feyd-Rautha), Max von Sydow (Liet-Kynes), and Linda Hunt (Shadout
Mapes). The costumes were designed by Bob Ringwood.

------------------------------

6.2 Is there more than one version of the movie?

Yes. There are actually 3 versions of the movie.

        ---------------
    6.2.1 Theatrical release

_Dune_ had its theatrical release in 1984. Its length is 2 hours and 17
minutes. It has also been shown on the Sci-Fi channel. This version is
also the standard video release. On the video release, approximately 20
minutes of footage near the end of the film has been photographically
flipped, so that Paul carries his ring on his left hand etc.

        ---------------
    6.2.2 Alan Smithee version

The version which is commonly shown on television contains some scenes
which were not in the movie. It is not on video cassette. It is 4 hours
long with commercials, roughly 3 hours without. This version contains
certain scenes that the director, David Lynch, did not want; such as a
scene of Gurney playing the baliset, and a voice-over introducing some
of the characters and societies. Lynch petitioned the Director's Guild
to have his name removed from the credits of this version. The generic
'Alan Smithee' appears in his place. Despite this, this version is often
erroneously referred to as the "director's cut".

        ---------------
    6.2.3 KTVU version

There is a third version that was cobbled together out of pieces of the
above two films by KTVU. It contains no new scenes; rather it is simply
a re- edit of the same material.

There is also a laserdisc letterboxed edition of the movie. It contains
versions 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 for a total of 320 minutes from beginning to
end of the disc. It contains no new scenes that are not in 6.2.1 and
6.2.2. The laserdisc is available only as a Japanese import. Each
version is subtitled in Japanese, and the theatrical release (version
6.2.1) is in a very nice widescreen format.

For more information about the movie and its variants, look at the
"Arrakis File" at:
    <http://members.aol.com/Hiphats/arrakis.html>

For "behind the scenes" information and trivia on the movie, try "Dune -

------------------------------

6.3 How do I get each version of the movie?

Universal/MCA has re-released the theatrical version of Dune on NTSC and
PAL VHS in both widescreen and Pan & Scan format. The widescreen PAL
video has been deleted.

The theatrical edition has also been released on laserdisc and DVD (R1
and R2). All these are in (non-anamorphic) widescreen, and of fairly
high technical standard. They feature no particularly exciting extras.

The Alan Smithee edition is available on R2 DVD, both in PAL and in a
two-disc Japanese NTSC set. Its format is Pan & Scan, because it was
originally edited for television.

The Japanese import laserdisc is out of print.

------------------------------

6.4 What merchandise was produced in connection with the movie?

A large number of toys and merchandise was produced in connection with
the movie. Any information beyond that listed here would be appreciated.
This information is to a large degree based on a list of Dune
merchandise by Josh Z.

cards depict scenes and characters from the movie. The complete set
includes 132 cards and 44 stickers.

        ---------------
    6.4.3 Promotional material

Innumerable different posters (in different languages) for the film
exist. In addition to this, there was a movie press kit given to
reviewers on the release of the film, and a special copy of the
Terminology of Dune handed out to audiences in some theatres.
Information on further curiosa would be appreciated.

It is sometimes possible to buy genuine props and costumes from the
movie. Replicas of various items, especially crysknives, are also
available.

For information on the Parker Bros. game, see subject 8.4.2

------------------------------

6.5 Has there been other attempts to film _Dune_?

Yes, there has been several attempts to film _Dune_. Sterling Lanier and
Chilton bought the film rights for _Dune_ already in 1963. The first
major attempt to bring the book to the screen started in the mid-
seventies, when Michel Seydoux bought the movie rights for Alejandro
Jodorowsky, director of _El Topo_ and _The Holy Mountain_. Jodorowsky
signed on Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Chris Foss and H. R. Giger to do the
artwork for the film, Pink Floyd to direct the music, and Orson Welles,
Salvador Dali and his own son Brontis to act. The screenplay was a
radical revision of Frank Herbert's story. The investors withdrew
financial backing after Jodorowsky had spent millions without having
started filming, and the production foundered. The story, images and
concepts of the film later resurfaced in work by Jodorowsky, Moebius,
Foss and Giger. Jodorowsky's thoughts on the project can be read at:
    <http://www.hotweird.com/jodorowsky/dunestory.html>

Dino de Laurentiis picked up the rights to _Dune_ after the failure of
Jodorowsky. Frank Herbert insisted on being admitted as script
consultant. Several versions of the movie were proposed before Lynch was
hired as director, including an attempt by Ridley Scott (director of
_Alien_ and later _Blade Runner_ and _Thelma & Louise_), whose concept
was rejected because of its high budget. Finally, David Lynch directed
the film that reached cinemas.

------------------------------

6.6 What is the _Dune_ TV series?

In 1998, the Sci-Fi channel commissioned a _Dune_ television mini series
to be produced by New Amsterdam Entertainment, Betafilm and Tandem
Communications. The series was written and directed by John Harrison.
Principal photography started in Prague in November 1999, and the three
episodes of the series aired on the US Sci-Fi Channel on December 3.-5.
2000. The series has been released on both American NTSC VHS and R1 DVD,
and European PAL VHS and R2 DVD.

Additional scenes (considered too controversial for American television)
are included in European broadcasts and releases.

The Sci-Fi Channel have commissioned a second series, based on _Dune
Messiah_ and _Children of Dune_. The working title of this series is
"Children of Dune", and the script by John Harrison (who will most
likely again direct) has been completed. This series will air in 2002 or
2003.

The series was written and directed by John Harrison, with Vittorio
Storaro as cinematographer, Miljen "Kreka" Klakovic as production
designer and Theodor Pistek as costume designer. Executive producers
were Richard P. Rubinstein and Mitchell Galin. The series starred: Alec
Newman (Paul Atreides), William Hurt (Leto), Barbara Kodetova (Chani),
Saskia Reeves (Jessica), Giancarlo Giannini (Shaddam IV), Julie
Cox(Irulan), Ian McNeice (Baron Harkonnen) and Matt Keeslar
(Feyd-Rautha).

7. Questions about sound recordings relating to Dune

------------------------------

7.1 Are there any Dune-related music albums?

        ---------------
    7.1.1 Movie Soundtrack

There are two main versions of the soundtrack to the movie. The original
soundtrack ("Dune: Original Soundtrack Recording") has been released
multiple times (on LP, cassette and CD) by Polydor, and can currently be
bought on import. Production # 422 823 770-2.

In 1997, P.E.G. Recordings released a digitally remastered version of
the soundtrack, called "Dune: Original Motion Picture Score." It is
often referred to as the David Paich version of the soundtrack. It
contains many new tracks, but does not include Brian Eno's Prophecy
Theme. The dialogue present in the original release has been removed
here (hence its title "motion picture score" rather than "soundtrack").
This CD is no longer in production, and can be hard to find. Production
# PEG 015.

For track listing and purchasing information, see:
    <http://www.fremen.org/collectibles/soundtrack.html>

    <http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/dune.html>

        ---------------
    7.1.2 Mini Series Soundtrack

Graeme Revell's soundtrack score to the mini series is released by GNP
Crescendo Records. It can be bought (only) over their website:
    <http://gnpcrescendo.com/ >

        ---------------
    7.1.3 Exxos "Dune: a Spice Opera"

Exxos (an alternative company name for Cryo Interactive) made a
soundtrack to their Dune I computer game. Of the thirteen tracks on the
album, eight appeared in the game (one tune from the game did not make
it to the soundtrack. The tune is the seventh to be played if you put
the game music in CD mode, and is unofficially known as "Bagdad"). One
track appears in two mixes (Dune Theme/Dune Variation). The music for
the game was composed by StΘphane Picq; he and Stephen Ulrich made the
soundtrack.

    "Dune: a Spice Opera" by Exxos (Cryo Interactive). Published by
        Virgin Records Ltd. CDVE 911.

The CD went out of production in 1994, and is very hard to find. MP3
files of the music are floating around on the Internet, but be aware
that these are illegal. If you would like this soundtrack, please ask
Virgin to reprint it. You can also write to:

EXXOS: CRYO Interactive, Exxos, 43, Rue de Richelieu,

        ---------------
    7.1.5 "Chronolyse"

Richard Pinhas from the band Heldon released Chronolyse in 1978, having
recorded it in 1976. He calls it: "Imaginary music for the book of Frank
Herbert, _Dune_."

    "Chronolyse" by Richard Pinhas. Cobra 1978. COB 37.015

Track list:
Variations sur le thΦme de Bene Gesserit:

-Variation IV (1:44)
-Variation V (1:35)

        ---------------
    7.1.6 Klaus Schulze's "Dune"

German electronica composer Klaus Schulze made an album inspired by
Frank Herbert's novel in 1979. It is available on CD as a foreign
import.

    "Dune" by Klaus Schulze. Metronome GmbH 1979

Track list:
-Dune (30:06)
-Shadows of Ignorance (26:15)

The first track is instrumental, while the second has singing (in
English) by one Arthur Brown. The lyrics don't seem to have any
connection to Dune. Schulze's "X" album contains a track called "Frank
Herbert".

        ---------------
    7.1.7 David Matthews' "Dune"

David Matthews (not the Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band)
arranged a Dune album in 1977. One side of the LP (there is no known CD
release, only stereo 8 track and cassette) contains Dune-related
material, the other various science-fiction material. Another of
Matthews' albums also contains a tribute to Frank Herbert.

    "Dune" by David Matthews. CTI Records: A Division of Creed
        Taylor, Inc. 1977

Track list:
Side 1-Dune
-Part I    Arrakis (6:03)
-Part II    Sandworms (5:03)
-Part III    Song of the Bene Gesserit (2:50)
-Part IV    Muad'Dib (6:36)

Side 2
-Space Oddity (6:05)
-Silent Running (3:16)
-Princess Leia's Theme (from Star Wars) (2:55)
-Main Theme from Star Wars (3:22)

The music is some kind of disco-jazz, with lyrics only on David Bowie's
Space Oddity (not sung by Bowie, though). Side 2 is generally the more
enjoyable, because of its unusual versions of well-known songs.

        ---------------
    7.1.8 "Eros"

The French band Dⁿn released this album independently in 1981. In 1999
it was re-released on CD by the Soleil label.

        ---------------
    7.1.9 "Parallel Galaxy"

Emmett Chapman, inventor of the Chapman stick, released a solo album
called Parallel Galaxy in 1985. A track from this album
(Backyard)appears on the Alan Smithee cut of Dune as Gurney plays the
baliset (in reality a thinly disguised Chapman stick).

    "Parallel Galaxy" by Emmett Chapman. Stick Enterprises 1985.

        ---------------
    7.2.1 By fans

Many fans have become inspired by _Dune_ to create music. This section
is heavily under construction.

- In 1998, "SSM" posted links to MIDI and MP3 files of a melody composed
by his brother called "Gurney's song" (the one that begins "Orchards and
vineyards") to alt.fan.dune. There's no known current source for these
files.
- In January 2001, Alexander Johannesen posted a link to an MP3 of a
track he had made called "Dunish", featuring samples from the movie.
There is no known current source for this file.
- In 2001, Giovanni Wassen posted links to several Dune-inspired tracks
he had made. They are available on his website:
    <http://www.nmmusic.nl/dunesaga.html>

7.3 Are there any spoken word recordings of Dune works?

been published. Also available on audio are excerpts read by the author,
as well as interviews with Frank Herbert.

by Frank Herbert. They are all read by the author. The description
states that the Audio Collection is a "selection" of the four
