Why did he never release a director's cut of Dune?
>>
he dune goofed
>>
>>218203781
He did, it's the theatrical cut.
>>
Because he was American. Americans are the biggest fucking faggot retard niggers in the world.
>>
Who cares? Dune is fucking lame. The protagonist's name is Paul and his boyfriend's name is Duncan Idaho. This is a supposedly serious and well respected scifi franchise.
>>
because he's dead

He was too depressed to do it until he was near death, and by then it was too late.
Lynch wanted to do whatever he wants, to make movies regardless of how the audience would feel. He said of George Lucas, “he makes what he likes, and I make what I like, the difference is what he likes makes millions of dollars.”
With Dune, he felt he sold out. He liked the people he worked with, but the movie itself he viewed as essentially compromised. And it wasn’t just that he didn’t get Final Cut, during the entire production studio heads would say “do xyz” and he would do it, or “change this” and it would be changed. So there’s basically no way for him to go back to the raw footage and re-edit it to match his vision.

Here’s the interview I’m referencing
AVC: Some notable filmmakers have returned to their works years later with re-edits, because just as a viewer’s relationship to a piece of art can change over time, so too can a creator’s. Was a new narrative cut something you ever considered with Inland Empire?

DL: No. But Dune—people have said, “Don’t you want to go back and fiddle with Dune?” And I was so depressed and sickened by it, you know? I want to say, I loved everybody that I worked with; they were so fantastic. I loved all the actors; I loved the crew; I loved working in Mexico; I loved everything except that I didn’t have final cut. And I even loved Dino [De Laurentiis], who wouldn’t give me what I wanted [laughs]. And Raffaella, the producer, who was his daughter—I loved her. But the thing was a horrible sadness and failure to me, and if I could go back in I’ve thought, well, maybe I would on that one go back in.

AVC: Really?

DL: Yeah, but I mean, nobody’s…it’s not going to happen.

AVC: Well that’s interesting, because in the past you were always much less open to it.

David Lynch: Yeah, I wanted to walk away. I always say, and it’s true, that with Dune, I sold out before I finished. It’s not like there’s a bunch of gold in the vaults waiting to be cut and put back together. It’s like, early on I knew what Dino wanted and what I could get away with and what I couldn’t. And so I started selling out, and it’s a sad, sad, pathetic, ridiculous story. But I would like to see what is there. I can’t remember, that’s the weird thing [laughs]. I can’t remember. And so it might be interesting—there could be something there. But I don’t think it’s a silk purse. I know it’s a sow’s ear.
