I see many things. I see plans within plans.

Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herberts beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early 80s Universal Pictures was prepared to give Lynch the keys to the kingdom and the highest budget in the studios history at the time so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. They would also hopefully be creating a Star Wars for adults franchise-starter.

As the hot young filmmaker commanded a cast with 42 major speaking parts as well as a crew of 1,700 (plus over 20,000 extras) on 80 sets built on 8 sound stages in Mexico, what happened next became as wild, complex, and full of intrigue as Herberts novel itself.

Film writer Max Evry goes behind the erratic ride of David Lynchs Dune like never before, with a years-in-the-making oral history culled from a lineup of new interviews with the films stars (Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young, Virginia Madsen, etc.), creatives, film executives, and insiders not to mention Lynch himself.

David Lynchs Dune initially left many filmgoers and reviewers scratching their heads, most dismissing the film upon its release. However, four decades and a big-budget remake later, Lynchs Dune is finally poised to find its rightful place alongside the directors other masterpieces such as Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive.

Max Evrys A Masterpiece in Disarray takes you back to 1984 with the deepest dive yet into the cult classic that is David Lynchs Dune.
