[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1059286, member: 72205"] Villeneuve has said there is no extended cut, I think he created the film he wanted for Part One and that it what is on screens. Unlike Jackson who had filmed it but studio wouldn't greenlight a 3 hour and 30 mins film. Hell 3 hours was pushing it back 2001, and filming all films I still no idea how they convinced New Line to get that level of backing, hell the story goes they tried to cut it down to two films and New Line said it was three. Its almost unthinkable even today something got that level of backing and was that succcessful. Its lengthy feel for me might be from watching the Lynch film (not recently) which does push to get everything in 2hr 17min (we actually get 19mins more here) and if anything feel rushed its that. But I think I agree its certain scenes that feel long and probably think of after the Harkonnen attack its feels drawn out to the end to an unsatifying cut off point. The splitting into 3 films makes some sense still I do think it needed time breathe in the opening section (even if I found the pace slow). The problem becomes cut off points [SPOILER]The first one's a little easier to find it's after Harkonnen attack. The issue becomes the next cut point which is Paul taking the water of life or the 2 year gap after 9 months with the Fremen and Jessica taking it. Whilst a satisfying conclusion to the film for both (more than this cut off point) is there actually enough material for the middle/last film?[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
