Arrow presents pristine, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions of the 1984 movie version of Frank Herbert's cult novel, Dune, adapted by director David (The Elephant Man) Lynch and produced by Raffaella (Conan) de Laurentiis.
Dune '84, which was a much anticipated science-fiction epic via pre-publicity, proved controversial to audiences (and in many respects, remains so), with some dismissing it as too "worming" for its own good. However, it's grown in popularity over the decades, securing praise from staunch, Herbert aficionados, including the late (and often tough-to-please) Harlan Ellison.
Let's face it, the Arrow presentations wouldn't have surfaced if Dune '84 wasn't more appreciated than not, and both formats act as veritable celebrations of the epic, containing not only the sharpened, theatrical cut, but a heaping of awesome extras, which include audio commentaries by Paul M. Sammon and Mike White; a tribute to production designer, Anthony Masters; a special-effects overview; a costume-design essay; a making-of documentary which spotlights Laurentiis and Paul Atreides performer, Kyle MacLaughlin (in his first Lynch collaboration); a 1983, promotional enticer; theatrical and television trailers; plus stunning photo galleries.
For Dune '84 followers, Arrow has bestowed a spice-snaring gift that both die-hard and casual fans alike will savor.
