Brief Synopsis:
Please note! This early version of my ‘Dune’ fanedit has been superseded by the vastly different "Dune The Alternative Edition Redux" completed in 2012.
Intention:
This early Dune edit was based largely on the Extended Edition - including the male narrator and the added Prologue - and was my attempt to fix its many mistakes and improve narrative flow.

A great experience and justifiably one of the all-time great fan-edits. Rescues David Lynch's vision of the novel from the trash bin of formerly terrible editing. I'm excited for the Villeneuve movie but now (and I never thought I'd say this) it looks like it'll have a hard time living up to the Lynch version.

I've allways wanted to like Dune but found the previous versions to be too incomprehensible. This fixed that. I loved the book structure and the additional scenes even when the audio and video was not always great really added to the story.
EDIT: I actualy watched the Redux version of this edit. Oops!

I've been a fan of Lynch's Dune my whole life. I can remember seeing commercials for it when it was first released and being totally taken with the visuals. I was too young to see it in theatres sadly, but a few years later I finally saw it on video. A strange, wonderful, creepy and somehow unbalanced film. Years after I first saw the film I finally read the book and came to understand how far the film had diverged from the source material.
SpiceDiver's edit is nothing short of revelatory. The new book structure, the incorporation of extended and deleted scenes bring the film more in line with the book. I loved it. As a fan of both the original film and the novel I have no hesitation in saying that that this is now my definitive version of the film. SpiceDiver has turned Dune from a cinematic oddity and turned it into a film worthy to carry the title Dune.
Well done sir.

I liked this movie so much since childhood that I play it at least once or twice each months since 20 years ;) and I love what you did with the V.2 version!
Your edit gave me a much more complete experience, all these little so important details changed my perspective on many important key points of the story-line.
THANK YOU!
