On today’s Dune Talk, the crew are joined by Max Evry, author of 'A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune. An Oral History'. The film journalist spent two years interviewing dozens of people involved in 1984’s 'Dune' movie and uncovering new behind-the-scenes insights. Marcus, Mark (DuneInfo), and Simon have many questions! Would a certain Top Gun star have made a good Paul Atreides? And, how could the main theme of Frank Herbert's original 'Dune' novel be absent from the movie?
