According to the current entry here, “at the 11th hour (before releasing a new special edition Dune DVD) director David Lynch decided that he wanted to be involved in the new DVD after all. Which means that when it’s eventually released, not only is the DVD going to include the original theatrical version of the film… it will include a brand new “director’s extended cut” edited by Lynch himself! ”
Guess I can finally get rid of the VHS copies of the extended edition.
