Disc Two - Bonus Features
-
Beyond Imagination - Merchandising Dune (HD; 22:37) is a wonderfully entertaining piece highlighting Brian Stillman's fascination with the fact that some marketing mavens thought that Dune was the perfect opportunity to make tie in toys and other items aimed at children.
-
Prophecy Fulfilled: Scoring Dune (HD; 24:52) offers film music historian Tim Greiving discussing the film's score, augmented (no music theory pun intended) by audio interviews with Toto members Steve Lukather and Steve Porcaro. For those unaware of how some members of Toto were the scions of notable Los Angeles industry music figures, this piece offers some good background information.
- Additional Interviews
-
Giannetto de Rossi (HD; 17:20) was a make-up artist on the film and doesn't shirk from blaming Dino de Laurentiis for "ruining" the film. In Italian with English subtitles.
-
Golda Offenheim (HD; 26:16) was the Production Coordinator, and is a wonderfully engaging interview subject, as she discusses being what amounts to basically the "nanny" for the cast and crew.
-
Paul Smith (HD; 8:50), who died in 2012, played Rabban in the film, and this archival interview is culled from a supplement that was included on Pieces (the link points to the Region B release from Arrow which I reviewed, though there's also a Region A release available from Grindhouse).
-
Christopher Tucker (HD; 3:02) did special make-up effects and offers a few brief comments here, since a lot of his work was evidently excised from the final version of the film.
