The world was David Lynch's oyster and with all the good will he earned after
The Elephant Man (1980), he took an offer by Rafaella and Dino De Laurentis to direct one of the most anticipated film adaptations of all time
Dune (1984). Although David Lynch would later regret his lack of Final Cut and having to shave an hour worth of film to try to come in under the two hour and fifteen minute mark set by Dino for the Theatrical Cut.
