Dune Limited Edition (With Slipcase + Booklet) – 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray

A PLACE BEYOND YOUR DREAMS. A MOVIE BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION. Following a notorious aborted attempt by Alejandro Jodorowsky in the 1970s, Frank Herberts 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 Lynchs 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 centre 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 CONTENTS - Brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative - 60-page perfect-bound book featuring new writing on the film by Andrew Nette, Christian McCrea and Charlie Brigden, an American Cinematographer interview with sound designer Alan Splet from 1984, excerpts from an interview with the director from Chris Rodleys book Lynch on Lynch and a Dune Terminology glossary from the original release - Large fold-out double-sided poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dániel Taylor - Six double-sided, postcard-sized lobby card reproductions - Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dániel Taylor DISC ONE - FEATURE x26 EXTRAS (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY) - 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) - Original uncompressed stereo audio and DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing - Brand new audio commentary by film historian Paul M.
