On: 'Once Upon A Time In America': A Butchered Film Ri...

The "6-hour version of Dune" is probably confusing the Lynch treatment with Jodorowsky's attempt at a Dune film -- which was never filmed (the script wasn't even finished!), but whose production was documented in the 2013 Jodorowsky's Dune:

It may also be confusing Lynch's film with the 2000 Sci-Fi miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune, which totalled roughly 5 hours across three episodes.

Possibly, but the rumours of a 6-hour and even longer cuts go back years. I remember discussing this way back in the late 1990s. It's a very persistent rumour.

The attempted Jodorowsky treatment was in the 1970s. The documentary film was more recent, but people certainly would have heard about it at the time.
