I heard him talking about it on some KROQ show a few years ago when I was in the area. He said she didn’t want to do it the way the studio did and when they stopped letting him do his thing he stopped trying to finish it. It’s Lynch so who fucking knows what’s true. He speaks in riddles.
I respectfully disagree on the new Dune films. Good director and Hans is always an interesting composer but I just found the rigid blockbuster movie scifi action flick spin on it played out. I really didn’t need the drawn out EXPLOSIONS and battles. It get’s tedious after a while. I didn’t like the choice of actors. All of them. It also just felt too sanitized visually. That’s not exactly good criticism but it lacked an edge or something that set it apart. Too clinical maybe? That said, The VFX on a technical level was awesome. I can’t deny the skill involved. Like working in Houdini and Blender is already pretty next level human brain shit but also the cutting edge physics involved … much respect.
I do not get the love for 2nd. They changed some pretty substantial plotlines. Or I should say characters and factions involved in events of those plot lines and their decisions which changes the dynamics of the story enough to make it hard to comprehend their motivations. WTF was that ending. Awful. I don’t remember that in the book but I read it a while ago.

It rains at the end of Lynch’s Dune, so I don’t know if it has a leg to stand on as far as plot changes go.
I’m not saying it was perfect but it also wasn’t a terrible movie.
