So, here are my ideas for an ideal release of Dune (1984), which compiles the ideal versions of all cuts of the film, as well as English fansubs for foreign-language bonuses.
My ideas for the sources would be:
This is how it would be assembled:
Unfortunately, I probably can't do this as I can't buy any of this and I don't have the equipment to do this task.
My ideas for the sources would be:
- Arrow 4K UHD
- German Koch Media (now Plaion/Embracer Group) 4K UHD Ultimate Edition
- Spicediver's 1080p Alternative Edition Redux
- Japanese Happinet 30th Anniversary Special Edition Box
This is how it would be assembled:
- Theatrical Cut (Arrow 4K UHD + Arrow 2K Blu-ray; Arrow has 24-bit audio and Dolby Vision; a 4K HDR version would be included alongside a 1080p legacy version; Arrow also has the audio commentaries)
- Extended Edition (Embracer Group Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Disc 2, Embracer Group has an exclusive semi-4K restoration of this cut)
- Spicediver Cut (Alternative Cut Redux 1080p Edition)
- Bonuses from Arrow, Embracer Group and Happinet sources. Embracer Group has an exclusive documentary (in English) and an exclusive interview in German with no subtitles, Happinet has many exclusive interviews, some of which are in French with Japanese subtitles. The French and German interviews would have new English fansubs.
Unfortunately, I probably can't do this as I can't buy any of this and I don't have the equipment to do this task.
