At long last, Dune!

Great news care of The Digital Bits:
The Dune: Extended Edition will be released in a metal snap case (SRP $27.98). 2 versions of the film will be included... a 137-minute theatrical version, and the 177-minute extended edition. BOTH will be available in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen (which would mark the first time the extended edition was available in widescreen). The theatrical edition will feature both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 audio, while the extended edition will be Dolby Digital 5.1 only. Extras will include never before seen "behind-the-scenes" footage, documentaries on the special effects, visual design and costumes, deleted scenes, original photographs and artwork from the set (newly resurrected from personal collections) and more.
Sweeeeeeeet. It's about time we got both versions of the movie out here. I'm not going to say I think David Lynch's Dune is a brilliant piece of movie making, but I've never actually seen the longer cut, and I've always wanted to, so this is pretty exciting.
