David Lynch's Dune was a massive flop, but its failure led to the success of Blue Velvet, one of Lynch's most celebrated films.
The Big Picture David Lynch's Blue Velvet is a 1986 neo-noir thriller starring frequent Lynch collaborator Kyle MacLachlan as Jeffrey Beaumont, a college student who returns home to Lumberton, North Carolina after his father suffers a heart attack. While walking through the seemingly-idyllic small town, Jeffrey discovers a severed ear and reports it to Detective Williams .
'Dune' Is the Only Film David Lynch Isn't Proud Of After Eraserhead, David Lynch was hired to direct The Elephant Man for producer Mel Brooks. Brooks' wife Anne Bancroft starred in the film which garnered eight Academy Award nominations including Best Director for David Lynch.
As he told The Hollywood Reporter, "I have zero interest in Dune. Because it was a heartache for me. It was a failure and I didn’t have final cut. I’ve told this story a billion times. It’s not the film I wanted to make. I like certain parts of it very much - but it was a total failure for me."'Dune's Failure Was a Blessing in Disguise for David Lynch For years, Dune was considered one of the biggest box-office bombs in the history of sci-fi movies.
