Dune (1984)

It is after the success of " Elephant man " that David Lynch will be sollcity by George Lucas. This one will require of him to carry out " the return of Jedi ". But Lynch will refuse. On the other hand he will agree the offer suggested by Francis Ford Coppola to carry out Dune, whose history is drawn from the book even name. It is Franck Herbert who wrote this saga, and that was sold to several million specimens. To begin again with the cinema is not simpler, since already several times one wanted to adapt this book but without success (Jodorovski inter alia).



It is at the beginning of the year 1981 that Lynch prepares the script.he will have to work it over again twice more, since this one was refused... So that, turning will start only in 1983 . But, alas for him, the problems appear. He will have to share the studio with the team of realization of " Conan the barbarian " (with Arnold S....)!!! Thus frictions will occur between two turnings (the place of turning is Mexico). Lynch will have to change the director of effect-special (the old one having left after 3 months) what will not badly pose a problem with the substitute who will not approve the techniques employed by his predecessor.

Finally after moultes stories, the film will come out for Christmas 1984 in the United States and in February 1985 in France. Paradoxically Americans will not be interested by this film and even rather not disappointed whereas this one goes well to France. Let us specify that criticisms will not develop it and Lynch will pass one of the worst periods there than it lived for the moment in the medium of the cinema.....

Summary of film: The Arrakis planet is a desert, but this one is the only one concealing " the spice ". This one makes it possible to increase the life duration and to develop the conscience of people. It is the emperor Shaddam IV who controls spice of this planet, thus he orders to the Atréïdes clan to manage Dune in the place of Harkonnen.
