Overview: With Dunemania sweeping the world right now by way of Dune: Part Two's release, in which I was able to participate via AMC Fans First Premiere in IMAX five days before general release, I decided to finish a project I had been working on on and off since 2022. Dune: Kwisatz Haderach - Part One is the first of a two part project, and is an experimental cut that explores how much of the film can be cut without turning into a muddled, non-cohesive mess. Cutting twenty-two minutes of footage, I was able to create a shorter, hopefully still satisfying cut of Dune: Part One clocking in at two hours and thirteen minutes.
I am proud to present Dune: Kwisatz Haderach - Part One.
Changes:
- 00:00:00:00: Added fanedit disclaimer.
- 00:00:07:21: Added Dark Netflix style fanedit.org logo.
- 00:00:13:15: Added my faneditor logo.
- 00:01:06:01: Chani's introduction is cut. This was done to make Chani even more mysterious, remove her brief narration, and allow any newcomers to meet Chani when Paul does.
- 00:04:38:15: The scene where Duke Leto accepts Arrakis as his fief has been removed. It's a wonderfully shot scene and looks absolutely gorgeous, but it's a scene that can be easily tossed for time.
- 00:07:14:02: The scene between Duke Leto and Paul has been removed for time. It's a wonderful scene, but it's another scene that can be easily removed and nothing will be missed.
- 00:11:54:19: 17 seconds worth of shots were removed to tighten up the pace of the Sisterhood arrival.
- 00:12:38:06: The scene of Dr. Yueh checking Paul's vitals and warning him has been removed for pace tightening.
- 00:29:49:03: The scene between Duke Leto and Gurney has been trimmed. There's great, insightful humor regarding Arrakis here but insignificant enough not to be missed in this instance.
- 00:31:58:12: The sequence of the pilgrims and Paul seeing the palms has been removed. It's nearly two minutes of footage that could be removed without much impact to the overall story.
- 00:34:37:10: The meeting between Baron Harkonnen, Pieter De Vries, and the Reverend Mother Mohiam has been removed. Not only was it removed for pacing, but to make the later Sardaukar/Harkonnen ambush a lightly foreshadowed surprise.
- 00:40:41:06: The scene of Paul hanging out with Duncan, Gurney, and the other house soldiers has been removed for pacing.
- 00:56:48:15: The scene on Salusa Secundus has been removed to help with keeping the ambush a surprise, and move things along pace-wise.
- 01:09:05:09: I decided to cut Duncan Idaho's escape for pacing reasons and to keep his survival a surprise for newcomers watching the edit for the first time.
- 01:13:03:10: The brief moment between Baron Harkonnen and Duke Leto has been removed for pacing.
- 01:17:10:20: The back-to-back sequences of Duncan meeting up with Dr. Liet Kynes and Baron Harkonnen hiding on the ceiling has been removed to veil both characters' survival for newcomers.
- 01:43:31:22: The scene of Paul and Lady Jessica changing into their stillsuits has been removed for pacing.
- 01:56:58:18: Paul's vision of his death at Jamis' hands has been removed for pacing.
