Sean Young's Amazing Dune Home Movie Features David Lynch, Sting and Cast of Dozens
Need a palate cleanser from the horror of viral Piranha marketing? I have just the thing for you, and from a pretty unlikely source as well: Sean Young has quietly issued a collection of Super-8 movies she filmed on the set of David Lynch's megabudget 1984 fiasco Dune. If you happen to be a fan of Lynch, Young, Kyle MacLachlan, Sting, Patrick Stewart, Max Von Sydow, Linda Hunt, Francesca Annis, or, like, vintage anything, you'll probably want to see this.
Young herself narrates the six-minute footage; those of you expecting any craziness or volatility from the erstwhile Schnabel-rouser will be disappointed. (Unless you count the candid aside regarding the castmate who was dismissed for alcoholism, or her referring to MacLachlan as Lynch's "personal pet during shooting," but hey.) What is here comprises the players and craftsmen/women from a scene that's hard to believe unfolded 27 years ago. They seriously don't make them like this anymore; I'll just get out of the way and let you watch. Also, Ms. Young: Is there any more of this lying around?

Happy shoots make bland movies. Maybe if Sean Young had been a little more Sean Young, Dune would have been a classic.
Nice try Sean, but there's not going to be a Catwoman in the next Batman sequel.
Hey, thanks for this. I've been a Dune fan for as long as I can remember, I've got all of Frank Herbert's books. The movie bombed but it's still one of my favorites. Sean's movies would make an excellent addition to any Dune collector's library.
