Offenbar ist das letzte Wort in Sachen Dune auf DVD noch nicht gesprochen. Und wie es ausschaut wird es diesmal besonders interessant:
Oh man... have we got some GREAT news for you Dune fans today! We've done some digging with our sources at Universal, and we've learned the real reason behind their delay of the Dune: Extended Edition (previously announced for 5/10, but then pulled "indefinitely" with no explanation given). Those of you who are familiar with the film know that there's a longer version that's been shown on TV, credited to director Alan Smithee (a pseudonym used by directors when they want to distance themselves from a project for whatever reason). Well get this... after years of saying he would never revisit Dune, at the 11th hour director David Lynch decided that he wanted to be involved in the new DVD after all. Which means that when it's eventually released, not only is the DVD going to include the original theatrical version of the film... it will include a brand new "director's extended cut" edited by Lynch himself! No kidding.

How cool is THAT?! We can't wait to see what Lynch does with the film! (Digitalbits)
Ausserdem gehört Dune wohl zu den ersten Titeln, die Universal auf HD-DVD veröffentlichen will...oder war es Blu Ray...jedenfalls eines von den beiden.
