Dune
the film, I started selling out even in the script phase knowing I didnt have final cut, and I sold out, so it was a slow dying- the-death and a terrible terrible experience. I dont know how it happened, I trusted that it would work out but it was very naive and, the wrong move. In those days the maximum length they figured I could have is two hours and seventeen minutes, and thats what the film is, so they wouldnt lose a screening a day, so once again its money talking and not for the film at all and so it was like compacted and it hurt it, it hurt it.
