LouieB Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 he doesn't have a problem with the original theatrical release, but he did have his name removed from the credits of the extended tv version. that version credits Alan Smithee as the director. Alan Smithee does not exist.Interesting.....but he should have his name removed from the theatrical release too....at least the one I saw, cause it sucked too.

aricandover Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Interesting.....but he should have his name removed from the theatrical release too....at least the one I saw, cause it sucked too. LouieB Alan Smithee, Allen Smithee, Alan Smythee, and Adam Smithee are pseudonyms used between 1968 and 1999 by Hollywood film directors who wanted to be dissociated from a film for which they no longer wanted credit. It was used when the director could prove to the satisfaction of a panel of members of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) and Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers that the film had been wrested from his or her creative control. The director is also required to keep the reason for the disavowal a secret. The pseudonym cannot be used to hide a director's failures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dune was flawed, but I think it did a good job of trying to communicate the mysticism that was central to that rather complicated novel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I could never get into that book. I prefer my Sci-Fi on the time travel/post apocalyptic side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
