Rare 1984 Making-Of Dune Documentary

It’s the 30th anniversary of David Lynch’s Dune, so now is a good time to take a look at this rare documentary. Back in 1983 this short film was shown on the convention circuit to get people all hyped up for the movie’s release in 1984. It is titled Destination Dune and if you like the movie you’ll want to spare 6-minutes to check it out.

It shows some scenes being rehearsed, a look at the prop and model shop, David Lynch discussing designs with special effects coordinator Carlo Rambaldi and more. Even Frank Herbert himself. They really packed in a lot in this short documentary, which was included in the 2004 UK DVD release of Dune. It’s a rare treat for fans.

Behind The Scenes Photos From The Making Of Dune

Critics can complain all they want about how David Lynch’s version of Dune is not a great adaptation, but you know what? I don’t care. The universe that the team created in this film completely captured my imagination when it came out and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

The visuals and atmosphere in this movie are truly magnificent. I can still watch it to this day and see things I didn’t notice the first time. It’s really fun to get a glimpse behind the scenes and to see them building this world.

Concept Art From David Lynch’s Dune

Many consider David Lynch’s Dune to be a messy adaptation of the books, others see it as a visual masterpiece. It is dark, epic and sprawling. And if you watch it enough times, you’ll see that it is carefully painted in layers, with a depth that you won’t find in most Sci-Fi movies. Is it good film? That’s up to you and your own experience with it. It IS a work of art in it’s own right however. I loved the sheer alien-ness of the film back in 1984. It was all just large and foreign and new to my eyes in the way that Star Wars had been years before.

Author Ron Miller was the production illustrator for the film, and has a large collection of sketches, production paintings, and photos of spacecrafts and sandworms and much more. Here we can glimpse a bit of that collection in some concept art and behind the scenes photos.
