[net.sf-lovers] Dune, the Movie

Haynes.PA@PARC-MAXC.ARPA@sri-unix.UUCP (09/12/83)

The movie Dune, has evidently been cancelled in mid-production.
Evidently due to various problems involved in shooting the movie in
Mexico, and dissatisfaction with what they saw of the shooting.

I heard this from a friend, who has a friend whose girlfriend was
involved in the effex, so take the info with a small grain of salt.

I would find it very hard to believe that Dune (the movie) has
been cancelled at this time.  Less then 2 weeks ago (at Worldcon)
I saw a presentation given by representatives from the project.
It involved a film about the production effort and slides showing
sets and costumes.  They were talking about a $60 million budget
(BEFORE overruns).  If it has been cancelled between then and now,
these people must be very suprised!
