Dune (2-Disc Limited Edition) [4K Ultra HD] [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Product Description

Following a notorious aborted attempt by Alejandro Jodorowsky in the 1970s, Frank Herbert’s bestselling sci-fi epic Dune finally made it to the big screen as the third film by emerging surrealist wunderkind David Lynch, featuring an all-star cast that includes several of Lynch’s regular collaborators.The year is 10,191, and four planets are embroiled in a secret plot to wrest control of the Spice Melange, the most precious substance in the universe and found only on the planet Arrakis. A feud between two powerful dynasties, House Atreides and House Harkonnen, is manipulated from afar by ruling powers that conspire to keep their grip on the spice. As the two families clash on Arrakis, Duke Atreides’ son Paul (Kyle MacLachlan, in his screen debut) finds himself at the center of an intergalactic war and an ancient prophecy that could change the galaxy forever.Though its initial reception ensured that Lynch largely eschewed mainstream filmmaking for the rest of his career, Dune has since been rightly re-evaluated as one of the most startlingly original and visionary science fiction films of the 1980s. Its astonishing production design and visual effects can now be appreciated anew in this spellbinding 4K restoration, accompanied by hours of comprehensive bonus features.4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSBrand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative60-page perfect-bound book featuring new writing by Andrew Nette, Christian McCrea and Charlie Brigden, an interview with sound designer Alan Splet from 1984, excerpts from an interview with the director and a Dune Terminology glossaryLarge fold-out double-sided poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dániel TaylorSix double-sided, postcard-sized lobby card reproductionsLimited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dániel TaylorDISC 1: FEATURE & EXTRAS (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY)4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible)Original uncompressed stereo and DTS-HD MA 5.1 audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearingBrand new commentary by film historian Paul M.
