I would love to see the “lost” footage mentioned in this article. Would make a great expanded mini series for some streamer. I know after this flopped that a four hour version ended up in syndicated TV, but this article mentions there’s like seven hours of cut scenes!
I just don’t understand why the new one exists at all. Dune was already re-done as a perfectly acceptable mini-series on the sci-fi channel.
That was Children of Dune.
They did that one as well:
2000 - Dune

2003 - Children of Dune
