These things include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stunt casting Sting mirrors Jodorowsky\u2019s intent to cast Mick Jagger for Feyd Rautha<\/li>\n<li>The art work in the Lynch version is greatly affected by both Jodorowskys use of H.R. Giger (then mostly unknown) and Jodorowsky\u2019s use of Moebius (of Heavy Metal Comic book fame) to help create the cinematics and layout<\/li>\n<li>The bizarre ending involving the Weirding Modules and Rain on Arrakis steals from the Jodorowsky ending (though doesn\u2019t go QUITE so acid trip as Jodorowsky) and totally diverges from the Dune Module<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I did see it in the theater when it came out. It has some good points ( Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck, the overall look) but it is of its time and strongly affected by the Jodorowsky work which is NOT what a Dune originalist would like. Here, 41 years on it seems very dated and of its time.
