After using the same Calpak suitcase for nearly two decades
I’m trying new Calpak luggage to see what’s worth buying
Jackie Cucco is a senior testing editor at Travel + Leisure
where she plans product tests and writes/edits travel-related product reviews based on in-depth product testing
and has over eight years of experience covering products and gift guides
She has made over 100 TV appearances discussing consumer products and shopping trends
This medium checked suitcase manages to be portable and compact while still offering a fair amount of space and interior pockets
Be careful if you pack any pointy items that may rip the mesh dividers inside
This hardside carry-on has an easy-access front pocket and a laptop compartment
It’s rare to find a trunk that is expandable like this one
The outer material scuffs easily when you check it on flights
This softside carry-on is much more lightweight than the hardside varieties
Though the dimensions are similar to Calpak’s hardside carry-ons
this bag has a smaller capacity and holds less
This mini version of the Luka Soft-sided Carry-on can fit underneath an airplane seat
You’ll want to use this for short trips only or as an accompaniment to a larger bag because of its compact size
This weekender comes in plentiful color options and has a separate shoe compartment
The shoe compartment is located inside the bag rather than beneath it
so your shoes will take up precious real estate
faux leather backpack is compact for commuters
There is no padding on the shoulder straps or back of the bag
Calpak’s anniversary sale takes place in October, but the brand also has other sales throughout the year, often surrounding various holidays and shopping events like Memorial Day and Black Friday. Calpak sometimes offers exclusive discounts during live shopping events
Calpak offers several different warranties based on the product
The warranties cover manufacturing defects — not incidents caused by wear and tear
or airport damage (you’ll need to get your own personal travel insurance for that)
The warranties only apply within the continental U.S.
and you will need to pay for shipping to return the product
You’ll have to show proof of purchase (purchased directly from the Calpak website
and there is also a service fee to replace bags
which ranges from $9.95 to $24.95 depending on the type of bag
Calpak will repair or replace the defective product with either the same or a similar product

Denis Villeneuve’s star-stocked adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic 1965 sci-fi novel
opened to wide acclaim in the fall of 2021
clearing the way for a sequel due this November
written and directed by David Lynch and released in 1984
was considered a failure in almost every regard: It disappointed at the box office and earned pans from influential critics including Roger Ebert
pointless excursion into the murkier realism of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time.”
It was a rare failure for Lynch, who told The Onion’s AV Club in 2022 that he “sold out” by acquiescing to the desires of uncredited Dune producer Dino DeLaurentiis: “I was so depressed and sickened by it
I loved everybody that I worked with; they were so fantastic
I loved all the actors; I loved the crew; I loved working in Mexico; I loved everything except that I didn’t have final cut
Lynch speaks at length about the making of the film in filmmaker and journalist Max Evry’s nearly 600-page book A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune — An Oral History
The following excerpts don’t feature Lynch’s words — you’ll have to buy the book to see them in context — but our first excerpt does feature insights into Lynch’s state of mind when he made Dune
between 1980’s The Elephant Man and 1986’s Blue Velvet
which reunited him with Dune (and future Twin Peaks) star Kyle MacLachlan
A second excerpt details the Dune casting process
in which eventual Top Gun stars Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer tried to land the lead role of Paul Atreides that eventually went to MacLachlan
A Masterpiece in Disarray is now available September from 1984 Publishing.—MM
Continuing to hone the Dune script over several drafts as the film struggled to get a green light
Lynch made a peculiar impression on Ned Tanen
then president of Universal’s film division
Thom Mount (former Universal executive): Ned’s a complicated bundle of snakes
He thought this was a good idea as long as Dino had responsibility for overages beyond a certain point
I’m going to bring him over there if it’s cool with you to just say hello
but at least that way he’s met you.”
I drag Ned over to the Producers’ Building up to the third floor
and we find an office that says “David Lynch” on the side of the door
and there’s an empty office and no David Lynch
and I see that Lynch is holed up underneath his desk
and he’s writing away underneath this thing
This did not seem particularly insane to me
David Lynch.” David stuck his hand up out of the footwell and shook his hand and blah
I think everything’s going to be fine and blah
blah.” We left and David was still under the desk
This later came back to haunt me because I think Ned fixated on the idea that David was some kind of kook
as opposed to a guy who has a tremendous creative burden and needs to find his platform
Bob Ringwood (Dune costume designer): I myself am about a third of the way up the autistic scale
and I’m sure David’s autistic or at least has Asperger’s
Also Read: An Oral History of American Psycho
Richard Malzahn (Dune visual effects graphics
but he comes up with ideas that I don’t ever want to live
these little pictures where he took apart these animals and put them on a board
It’s all pieces that you need to make a chicken.” It’s like
Jane Jenkins (Dune casting director):
He would always have bizarre little art projects in his office
There would be rocks on the wall with strings coming down from the rocks
There were photographs of him dissecting a chicken and all these weird David Lynch things
Penelope Shaw Sylvester (Dune assistant editor): David gave me a print for my 30th birthday
Chicken Kit.” He told me it was unique because he put his thumbprint on it
or he would ask people to collect roadkill for him
“Warning: Do not set fire to your chicken or people will eat him
the late nights and early mornings can become chilly and uncomfortable
You may wish to purchase feathers for your chicken
They can be attached as per instructions.”
Craig Campobasso (Dune production office assistant): He always talked like he was from the ’50s: “Peachy keen
Neato keeno.” He was extremely nice to work with
He was very much into Woody Woodpecker and Bob’s Big Boy
insisted we eat at Bob’s Big Boy every single day at lunchtime
He’d eaten there every day and always had the same meal at the same time
He and Raffaella and I and some other girls from the office would go to Bob’s Big Boy every day
The guys in the art department made him a Bob’s Big Boy with a Dune suit on it
and it had blue-within-blue eyes and the little nose thing
and [production designer] Tony Masters said
“I’m never going to eat at Bob’s Big Boy ever again
I’m sorry.” Tony had been going to Bob’s Big Boy for months and was so sick of it
and Tony and I insisted that David go there for lunch with us the next day
He’d never eaten anything that was foreign food
I think he was a bit staggered by suddenly being introduced to European food and French food and garlic and all these extraordinary things
Jenkins: I think the biggest shake-up early on was that we were going to go with Val Kilmer for Paul
I had done a huge search around the country
There were a handful of actors that we talked about
Campobasso: We screen-tested Michael Biehn
because Val was actually the number one choice up until Kyle did his screen test
but if you saw all the other actors struggling
It’s not that they’re bad actors; they just didn’t fit the criteria for Paul-Muad’Dib because you’re looking for this inner strength
and I do remember him being nervous because I helped him get into the costume of Paul-Muad’Dib and I could feel his sense of nerves about it
I would be totally nervous if that were me
Sean Young (Dune star): I auditioned with Val Kilmer
I was there in Mexico City when they were there
I went to this hotel and these people don’t speak English
I don’t f—ing know how to even call out.” So
I went upstairs to the lobby and Val was there wearing a baseball cap
I’ll ask him.” I walk up and I’m about crying
who I had met on auditions several times in New York
We had three or four meals together during the audition
Why would I need your number?” I saw him sometime after
“I really respected when you did that.” I was like
I met Rob Lowe when he was barely 18 years old
and he keeps talking on his podcast now about the fact that he’s 56 years old
That’s not possible!” Kevin was right in that group of kids
It would have made sense for him to come in
He was an extra in the movie Frances with Jessica Lange
I think the director asked him to say something to Frances and that upgraded him
Ron Howard’s movie where he’s one of the frat boys
I hired him for Table for Five with Jon Voight where he was a permanent extra
Half the movie was shot on a cruise ship going down the Nile
Raffaella De Laurentiis (Dune producer): We did tests
They were all concerned that his smile would light up the screen
I sometimes wonder what would have become of the movie if Tom had been in it

posted a crying selfie to the company's Instagram grid
"THE UGLY TRUTH behind running a business," the caption began
"Let me tell you first hand that it's the furthest thing from sunshine and rainbows
You're looking at someone who works 24/7 and is emotionally and physically drained."
It wasn't the first time the brand's 432k followers saw Brittany's face or a behind-the-scenes moment
but it was a bit of a departure from Evry's aesthetically pleasing Instagram content
Brittany is a little more vocal and unfiltered on TikTok
where the brand initially found viral success and has amassed an even larger following
"My face is all over TikTok and it's not in a way of like 'me
me,' but it's a way for us to create that bond with our customers," she explains
A new family legacyAll Evry Jewels pieces are designed from scratch by Brittany and made in-house
There's a level of transparency not every entrepreneur can pull off
She started the brand with her younger brother Jake in their parent's house in Montreal at the end of 2019
this dynamic duo presides over a thriving online retailer with hundreds of on-trend
a massive social media following and a warehouse that they call their second home
The young co-founders started Evry because they saw a gap between affordability and quality in the jewelry market
which they happened to know a bit about as fourth-generation jewelers
Their dad even sold high-end jewelry on the Home Shopping Network "Now I feel I do something similar on TikTok," observes Brittany
while Jake focuses on business operations behind the scenes.
In addition to being more modern and affordable than its predecessors
Brittany designs everything the brand sells from scratch
her inspiration ranging from fashion trends she believes would translate well into jewelry
10Gallery10 ImagesA founder's internal struggles"I'm a very anxious person and that also requires me to always kind of be the best in everything," a tendency Brittany noticed while in school
and I feel like that is the same mindset that I have with Evry."
Brittany is aware that this inclination to put pressure on herself — "always questioning if you're doing something right or wrong" — stemmed from a lack of self-confidence
it's a recipe for the exhaustion she describes above.) Spending much of her time working alone on social media
also "plays a huge toll," she says. But
Running a company is not exactly common among 23-year-olds
so Brittany doesn't always feels she can open up to friends about it
self-criticism and perfectionism are more universally relatable
especially among the young women who engage with Evry
social media has also allowed Brittany to build a supportive community that blurs the lines between customers
Meaning behind the jewelryThere is often personal meaning behind the pieces Brittany designs
In addition to putting herself (and her employees) on camera, Brittany puts herself into her jewelry, like Evry's new Self Love collection
featuring pieces like a heart-shaped signet ring engraved with the words "self love," a "Take care of yourself" tote bag and a fidget ring with spinning beads made for fellow anxiety sufferers
because I could put all this meaning behind the line," she says
Evry also invites customers into the design process — quite literally
was chosen to design a "love yourself" necklace for the collection and have her photo and a quote featured on the product page
Brittany and Jake want people who wear Evry to feel confident and good about themselves
but the brand's mission isn't just about product
"It's more about a community and a feeling," Brittany says
"I want to be vulnerable [on social media] and show that it's not all sunshine and rainbows
while also kind of trying to be a role model," she explains
sounding more like an influencer than a founder — another line Evry blurs
"I don't think a lot of brands have that type of relationship with their customer."
that relationship has been the most rewarding part of building Evry with her brother, who notes
Those customer/fans routinely share encouraging comments and DMs like: "We're so proud of you," or
"Your videos make my day." And in response to the negative messages that creep in every so often
they're quick to defend the brand and its founders in the comments
their loyalty akin to that of pop-star fandoms
The future of Evry Jewels involves more than just jewelry
Looking back on when she and Jake started the brand
"I feel like Evry was exactly what I needed to become the person that I'm becoming." She was in a "foggier" mindset then
she notes. "Obviously I'm human and everyone has their days
but I feel this has given me purpose."
Jake sees Evry becoming a "one-stop shop for all your fashion necessities," and as the company grows
Brittany hopes to engage further with its community: from traveling and meeting customers in person
to making content that reveals even more of what goes on behind the scenes at a company run by Gen-Z siblings — challenges
but they're able to move past their arguments
everything that we do is for the better of the business — which we both

With thousands of digital point solutions on the market
payers and employers seek more out of their providers
digital behavioral health companies have gotten creative about contracting
Gone are the days of per member per month deals
many point solutions offer engagement guarantees
cost-savings deals and at-risk contracting
Digital substance use disorder (SUD) provider Quit Genius is one of the pioneers in digital health value-based contracting. Last July, the startup announced that it made a full-risk payment model standard for its digital B2B addiction treatment services
While Quit Genius is unique in its fully capitated payment model
the company didn’t get there overnight
“Our approach in going to the market was we wanted to have performance guarantees right from the start
We wanted to guarantee meaningful clinical outcomes,” Yusuf Sherwani
said at the Behavioral Health Business’ VALUE event
“We wanted to go on a journey with our customers and gradually increase our skin in the game as we access more data
[That] started with really putting performance guarantees in the market
… then gradually increasing to a full risk model
And what that looks like today is we put 100% of our fees at-risk.”
Quit Genius is a venture-backed digital health company that offers services for alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder and smoking cessation care. It has raised more than $78.6 million in capital
Most of its risk is guaranteeing full clinical outcomes based on a set of independently validated scales that are biochemically verified
Quit Genius’ at-risk contracting also includes guarantee metrics around engagement
member satisfaction and operational metrics
Quit Genius takes a harm reduction approach and uses the World Health Organization’s validated scales to measure healthy drinking
The provider is looking for anywhere between a 30% and 50% reduction in drinking days based on the WHO scale
This at-risk approach fits into Quit Genius’ payer partner Evry Health’s approach to care
we’ve designed everything to be value-based from the ground up,” Chris Gay
“We have a very different approach than any other payer
they already had strong analytical underpinnings and could demonstrate value.”
Evry Health is a large commercial group health insurance company that is focused on the mid-market
Gay noted that Quit Genius’ engagement guarantees were among the most important elements of its value-based care contract
“The other challenge working as a health plan is you can bring the best tools and programs and networks to market
“People are creatures of habit and are also very distrustful of anything new
We found if you want to have a really good engagement
everything has to be reordered and changed
That’s why most digital health wellness programs fail
Because the incentives haven’t changed
the product design from the insurer hasn’t changed.”
One of the primary keys to engagement is clinical targeting using claims data to understand who is at risk
Sherwani noted that only about 15% to 20% of the population with SUD could be assessed this way
It’s on Quit Genius to help educate members about their risks and the resources
“It comes down to simple things like … an alcohol score quiz
to really understand what healthy drinking looks like,” Sherwani said
“You’d be surprised at just how few people understand that what they’re drinking might be bordering on unhealthy
But the partnership’s success relies on more than just the point solution
Rates of engagement and success are higher when the payer is actively engaged
Gay noted that Evry does not charge an additional fee to the member or employer using Quit Genius
“We found you have to take the employer out of the equation wherever possible so that there is no impediment,” Gay said
Another way that Evry supports engagement is by collecting data and algorithmically identifying anyone that could be at-risk of having a SUD
and they’ve been admitted to a rehab facility,” Gay said
and we know to have a care coordinator reach out
suggest Quit Genius as an additional tool or offering just to make sure it gets mentioned in a compassionate and helpful way.”
Evry goes one step further in engaging members and offers them $1,000 for every adult member over 16 years of age that meets their health milestones
This means that depending on the member’s care plan if they use Quit Genius
“We financially work with Quit Genius
and there are payments between us as vendor partners
We also engage with a member and we give them incentives as they move through,” Gay said
because you’re not just treating alcohol cessation or reduction
you’re typically treating something else alongside it
So what it’s worth – we like it a lot
And we think the model works mathematically.”

It even comes with packing cubes and other travel must-haves from the celeb-loved brand
Lydia Price is a senior engagement editor at Travel + Leisure
where she hosts short-form videos and leads content engagement initiatives
My one hour everyday makeup lesson with Maggie Jessen, founder and owner of EVRY Makeup Studio in South Minneapolis
started how any great makeup tutorial would—with a brief discussion of the current TikTok makeup trends
“I call this one of my TikTok products,” Jessen says as she pulls out a bottle of Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter
a supposed new “dupe” for the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter
It is clear that Jessen is well-primed to handle her Gen-Z clients
challenging herself to ask questions like ‘what’s the next it-product?’ or ‘what are the latest social media trends?’ EVRY has firmly established its own social media presence as well
so Jessen and her hired team of 14 artists can contribute to the conversation
But Jessen’s fascination with makeup started long before TikTok was around
self-described “acne-ridden,” version of herself
who found her life changed by the transformative power of a quality makeover
Her makeup career has taken her many places since
including the center of Times Square in New York City
where she worked as an artist at Sephora and saw her skills challenged by the wide diversity of clients who passed through her chair
“It taught me a ton about diversity,” Jessen says of the experience
is different than how they do makeup in India or Brazil
A big part of being a makeup artist is asking questions and understanding before acting.”
She later acquired a love for teaching these skills
a position that landed her work at such events as New York Fashion Week and New York Bridal Fashion Week
she saw a need for the kind of education she had acquired in New York
Not the practically irreproducible makeovers that department stores give
which tend to leave clients looking like someone they don’t recognize
a step-by-step lesson guided by the clients themselves
meant to complement their existing features and leave them looking and feeling like their best selves
or cultural background can walk in and feel seen and understood
guided by artists who have the proper resources and education to accommodate them
Thus, EVRY was born. A studio that describes itself as, quite simply, “a makeup space for ‘EVRYone.’” The studio held its grand opening in August from its location in Minneapolis, and is now open for booking, offering a choice between five different makeup lessons as well as client-led makeup parties
“My aesthetic is just making sure people look like and feel like themselves,” Jessen tells me
a philosophy she keeps at the center of each makeover she gives
When I walked into her studio that morning I was greeted by the warm
clean tones of her impeccably styled space
Her former executive position at the Minnesota-based facial bar
gave her exposure to indoor spas all across the country
where she was able to take notes on the clean
functional design elements she felt were well-suited to the beauty industry
intending to tailor a space that could play host to any occasion
from wedding parties to birthday bashes to
which EVRY threw for a mom and daughter group this summer—friendship bracelet-making stations and all
If you were to use this space for a party that’s not necessarily makeup-related
Jessen’s extensive experience in the wedding industry had her in high demand this year—she and her team did makeup for over 150 bridal parties
She hopes to bring more wedding parties in-studio in the coming year
now that her space has been firmly established
I could already envision the gorgeous photos that would result from this well-lit
As Jessen finishes up my mascara with light
even strokes of L’Oréal Voluminous in shade Black/Brown
she decides my eye makeup is the perfect “coffee to cocktails” look—it will seamlessly transition between everyday obligations and nighttime festivities
my coffee to cocktails look will be easily replicable at home
as Jessen provided me with a well-organized note-taking template prior to our session
on which I had been jotting down the products she used in their specific shades
as well as the techniques she demonstrated for me
the template also includes a sketch of a bare face
upon which Jessen drew out the exact eye shadow strokes she had used on me
This is all to ensure that these tutorials are not just fun
but are actually sustainable for clients’ day-to-day lives
EVRY even offers a one-hour lesson titled “Makeover Your Makeup Bag” in which clients bring in the makeup products they already own and learn how to use them more effectively
as seems common with professional makeovers
but instead a one-hour lesson in a philosophy that can apply to both makeup and life—learning to make the most of what you have
“Years of hearing other people tell me what their concerns are—real people—has shown me what the beauty industry needs more of right now,” Jessen shares with me
as she concludes my makeover with a refreshing spritz of setting spray
is the kind of guidance and understanding EVRY provides
which turns something like makeup—an oftentimes expensive
and intimidating art— into an empowering vehicle for self-expression that anyone (and EVRY one) can enjoy

First-of-its-kind technology to provide broader access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
February 20, 2020 — Synaptive Medical, a leader in robotic surgical visualization, announced today the company has secured approval from Health Canada for Evry
head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system
Evry has been designed to provide imaging directly at the point of care in areas outside of diagnostic imaging departments
which was previously unachievable due to the size of conventional MRIs
To overcome the challenges associated with MRI innovation, including accessibility in critical and acute cases like brain tumor and ischemic stroke
Synaptive developed Evry as a means for healthcare professionals to make accurate cranial diagnoses in time-sensitive cases
Among Evry’s features include a mid-field 0.5T superconducting magnet that reduces the system’s physical footprint
automated series planning including volume selection
a detachable stretcher to support bedside transfers and a multichannel head coil with patient-specific customized fitting intended to optimize image quality
Evry also bypasses the need for rigging and cranes for the delivery of MRI
thus providing significant cost advantages
“Securing Health Canada approval for Evry not only marks a significant milestone for Synaptive, but for healthcare professionals in Canada who now have the ability to more broadly provide point-of-care diagnostics for patients in a variety of urgent settings,” said Cameron Piron
president and co-founder of Synaptive Medical
“As with our entire suite of surgical and diagnostic products
our goal is to provide surgeons and healthcare systems with state-of-the art tools that maximize their ability to provide optimal care for patients.”
Taufik Valiante, M.D., Ph.D.
FRCSC associate professor of neurosurgery at the University of Toronto
“In acute care settings where every second counts
having the ability to clearly visualize and diagnose patients is critical for maximizing patients’ chances of success
healthcare professionals now have an added tool that will allow for more informed decision making in situations where MRI technology may not have otherwise been feasible.”
All of Synaptive’s products uniquely provide critical information to improve neurological care and patient outcomes; and when combined
the products empower healthcare professionals to fully optimize the quality and delivery of their services
Synaptive will initially sell Evry to health systems in Canada and is pursuing regulatory clearance in markets outside the country

During the two years I spent putting together my book A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune—An Oral History
I had no luck uncovering Lynch's script for Dune II
despite Frank Herbert telling Prevue magazine in December 1984 that he possessed a copy and was advising Lynch on it
“Now that we speak the same ‘language,’ it’s much easier for both of us to make progress
especially with the screenplays,” Herbert told the publication
within the Frank Herbert archives at California State University
I came across a slim folder with a sticky note declaring “Dune Messiah script revisions,” addressed to the second floor of VFX man Barry Nolan’s office in Burbank where Lynch supervised the final effects shoots and editing on Dune
Inside the folder lay the stuff of fans’ dreams
never made public until now: 56 pages dated “January 2nd-through-9th
1984,” matching Lynch’s “half a script” statement
Complete with penned annotations by Herbert
the Dune II script shows Lynch was still enthusiastic about the material
lending new significance to minor details in the ’84 film
He also cracked a way to tell the complex story of Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah
easily the least cinematic book in the series due to its emphasis on palace intrigue over action
along with the inner turmoil of a reluctant dictator (Paul Atreides) in place of a traditional hero’s journey
but Lynch's Dune II would have bested Herbert's book—and been one hell of a movie
While writing this piece I reached out to Lynch for comment
since his Dune II script had never been discussed in detail publicly
that he “sort of remembers writing something but doesn’t recall ever finishing it.” As Dune is “a failure in his eyes and not a particular time that he likes to think of or talk about,” he politely declined to speak to me
and I think it could make a really good film
and this creates a whole new set of problems
… It should be 12 strange years later.” —David Lynch
Of the many differences between Dune Messiah in novel form and David Lynch's script
which detail what happens in the aftermath of the scene in the first Dune movie when the Harkonnens bombed the Atreides’ fortress in Arrakeen
In the hallway where Duncan Idaho (Richard Jordan) was shot in the head
his shielded dead body still floats on the floor
“The Bene Tleilaxu make for deliciously strange villains
From out of the shadows emerges a familiar face: the Baron's Doctor (Leonardo Cimino)
Thought to be the only speaking part created specifically for Dune by Lynch
a shape-shifting “face dancer” crucial to the plot of Herbert's second book
you may not have noticed Cimino's Doctor accompanied Baron Harkonnen during the Arrakeen attack
“Where's my doctor?” That’s because Doc/Scytale absconded with Duncan’s body
This Easter egg is Lynchian world-building at its best
Lynch calls the planet Tleilax “a dark metal world with canals of steaming chemicals and acids.” Those canals
are lined with “dead pink small test tube animals.” Initiating Dune II with a focus on Scytale foregrounds him to primary antagonist
unlike Herbert's book where myriad conspirators work against Paul
“Lynch’s favorite set during production of Dune was Giedi Prime, with machinery and flesh alterations fitting his artistic sensibilities,” says Mark Bennett, founder of the DuneInfo website
Lynch decided that Bene Tleilax could be co-opted for his style
sadists whose mere language (“Bino-theethwid
giving Kenneth McMillan's grotesque Baron from the ‘84 Dune a run for his money
Here's a particularly surreal/Lynchian passage
where Scytale sings a haunting “boogie tune”:
Scytale's friends are laughing and wildly rolling marbles under their hands as they watch Scytale sing through eighteen mouths in eighteen heads strung together with flesh that is like a flabby hose
The heads are singing all over the pink room
One man opens his mouth and a swarm of tiny people stream out singing accompaniment to Scytale
Another man releases a floating dog which explodes in mid-air causing everyone to get small and lost in the fibers of the beautiful carpet
a laughter which is now extremely high in pitch
Scytale (now with only one head) crawls up a wall laughing hysterically
who I also provided with a copy of the screenplay
Scytale breathes new life into Idaho over many years in a place described as “a beautiful hot pink room with violet light which is a blend of living room and rubbery surgical room.”
“You can imagine Frank Herbert and Dino De Laurentiis wondering if Lynch was writing a sequel to Eraserhead!” says Bennett
Scytale's visage “face-dances” into Idaho at several points
which may have necessitated early morphing technology before it was developed for Ron Howard's 1988 film Willow
“I recall Richard Jordan as Duncan Idaho agreed to a smaller presence in Dune for the promise of the breakout character in Dune Messiah and beyond,” Stilgar actor Everett McGill told me after reading the uncovered script
“I’m not surprised David begins this story with a full-on reanimation of dead Duncan Idaho among all the fun and jarring Lynchian images.”
Following his Frankenteinian revival of Duncan
Scytale gets a new mission from red-headed Abulurd Harkonnen II (half-brother of Baron Vladimir/father of now-deceased Feyd and Rabban) to aid in stealing a sandworm from Emperor Paul Atreides
This demi-brother Abulurd plays no real part in Herbert's books
I suspect Lynch was attempting to find a way to keep the Harkonnen in the story,” says Kennedy
but they are all dead by the end of the original film.”
The half-finished script also features the return of Lynch's oft-maligned inner voice monologues
such as when Abulurd thinks to himself: “Yes … this Scytale could make a good distrans—unwittingly … yes!” (For the uninitiated
a “distrans” is essentially a person or animal carrying an implanted message that can be unlocked with a word
not unlike William Gibson’s Johnny Mnemonic.)
From here the script resembles Dune Messiah more closely
“Dune Messiah was a problematic sequel,” says McGill
“The fast-moving adventure of the first book runs right up against the slog of civil administration in the second
Preserving the Empire can be a lot of meetings
David’s treatment shows he was working hard against that.”
Paul's ceremonial wife Irulan (Virginia Madsen) returns to Arrakeen
transformed over 12 years with new buildings bracketed by “gardens of strange
exotic plants from throughout the universe,” with a solid gold palace at the center
a god-like Paul Atreides made it rain for the first time on Arrakis
possibly destroying all sandworms (water kills them)
While the Dune II draft acknowledges that rainfall (Irulan asks Paul
“Are you never going to let it rain again?”)
including one that Paul keeps beneath his massive underground throne room
which the screenplay describes as “the largest room in the universe
with an approach passageway in solid gold ten miles long
Herbert demonstrated unrest among the Fremen through conversation; in his script
Lynch laid out opposition to Paul's rule via a more cinematic form: a knife fight
An anonymous Fremen warrior challenges Paul to a duel
but Paul's partner Chani (who would have been played
by Sean Young) says he has to kill her first before getting a stab at Paul
putting him on the ground with two kicks and a knife to the neck: “If I kill them … the word spreads that even the concubine of Paul kills the strongest of the challengers.”
This scene is also a showcase for Young's Chani as a fierce combatant
Despite being a trained dancer and athlete
Young had no real fight choreography in Dune
“I never had major fights in that show,” Young confirmed to me during interviews for my book
Paul has one of his trademark dream visions
a metaphor for the terror his jihad has wrought on the universe
obscured in shadow until it transforms into “a massive black vibrating soft cube of screams.” Chani wakes Paul
and the two argue over whether to let Irulan bear his heir
Scytale (disguised as Duncan) murders one of Paul's former loyalists—Farok—and kidnaps Lichna
the daughter of Paul’s trusted Fremen soldier Otheym (Honorato Magaloni in Dune)
Paul holds a council meeting providing his now-teenage sister Alia (previously played by 7-year-old Alicia Witt) with a big entrance: “sexy
17 and wears a very beautiful version of the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother robes.” Lynch auditioned actress Jennifer Jason Leigh for the first Dune
making casting director Jane Jenkins earmark her for a “grown-up Alia.”
one of the large mutated Spacing Guild leaders
arrives in his giant terrarium bearing a “precious gift” for Paul: the Duncan ghola
now called “Hayt” with the “metal eyes of the Bene Theilaxu.” Stilgar (McGill) senses danger: “The creature in the tank gives me shudders
"I like very much that Stilgar goes through the roof over the ghola Duncan Idaho gift," McGill says
"He sees it as a huge threat and an abomination of the man Stilgar knew
I was happy to see that Stilgar could still be played as a check on Paul’s rulership."
Mother Mohiam (Siân Phillips)—Paul’s Bene Gesserit nemesis from the first book/film—is removed from the Guild’s Heighliner
then taken to a cell under Stilgar's watch
There is a terrific scene of Irulan and imprisoned Mohiam speaking to each other while holding a secret secondary conversation with finger gestures translated by voiceover
The Reverend Mother covertly instructs Irulan to assassinate Chani if she becomes pregnant
and to force an incestuous relationship between Paul and Alia
“The finger-talking between Irulan and Mohiam is in the novel
but the novel tells us what is said rather than actual dialogue
[Lynch] had to write a lot of 'new' dialogue,” says Bennett
This leads into what would surely become an iconic moment: Alia fighting a training robot naked with a sword
Lynch adds the element of Irulan watching her and goading her with a clumsy suggestion of sexual tension with her brother
Paul enters the room to stop the increasingly fast/dangerous robot
As soon as Irulan perceives a possible attraction between Paul and Alia
she breaks down and tells both of the Guild's conspiracy against them
and—if his pen strokes crossing out this section of the script are an indicator—Herbert was not a fan of the change
In a scene reminiscent of a police procedural
Duncan and Alia investigate the uncovered body of Scytale's kidnap victim Lichna—her head smashed and hands missing
“Someone didn't want her recognized,” Detective Duncan notes
Alia relays these findings to Paul and warns him to be rid of Hayt/Duncan (to whom she is wildly attracted)
while a feasting Chani reveals to Alia she is pregnant
Chani and a security officer named Bannerjee clear the girl Lichna (actually Scytale in disguise
since the real Lichna is dead) to deliver a message: Paul must go to Farok to learn of the Fremen conspiracy against him
Despite seeing through Scytale's disguise
Herbert left a cryptic scribbled note on the back of the final page
a prescient one given the imminent end of the project: “Metaphors: Sand from Paul's boot (hourglass).”
who did the blue-eye visual effects for the first Dune film
mocked up a test version of the blackened eyes Paul received as the result
I’ve made his eyes black,’” Nolan says in my book
the unfinished nature of the script leaves open just where the generally Libertarian-leaning Lynch stood with the politics of Dune
Paul is reluctant to kick off the holy war to end all holy wars
Herbert has stated that showing why we shouldn't trust charismatic leaders is the very essence of his overall Dune story
or did it reflect Lynch's relatively apolitical nature
and told interviewer Richard Barney that he is “not a political person,” but adapting Dune Messiah would have forced Lynch to pick a side: Does he consider Paul a true hero
or a reluctant horror who killed 61 billion (with a “b”) people
“A few book scenes are missing in the script
mostly word games that don't progress the plot,” says Bennett
“Also missing is Paul talking to Stilgar and Korba about how he's killed more people than Hitler
a favorite among Dune fans countering the ‘Paul is a hero’ argument
The script seems to be treading around that aspect of Paul's crusade.”
Given Paul's more book-accurate manipulative trajectory from Dune: Part One (the “prophecy” of his arrival was fed to the Fremen by the Bene Gesserit) and what we have seen of Paul's Nuremberg-esque rallies in the forthcoming Dune: Part Two
Villeneuve will no doubt address the heel turn Paul takes if/when the Canadian filmmaker ultimately adapts Dune Messiah
As when Lynch was promoting his own Dune film four decades ago, Villeneuve has been bullish talking up the next movie, as during a recent press conference
“It will make absolute sense for me to do this movie
[Dune Messiah] is being written right now,” Villeneuve said
Villeneuve could try to expound on the book in ways similar to the ones Lynch employed
but given the Shakespearian tragedy inherent in the material
it may not make for the stuff of franchise-building blockbusters
“Dune Messiah was not going to be the epic adventure of Dune,” says McGill
“This tale is about the sober reality following an intoxicating revolt
and to boot our messiah ends up wandering off into the desert
“Without the burden of trying to prop up a heroic figure
which he never seemed to care for in his film
Lynch seems more comfortable with this material and able to explore the strangeness of villains and squabbles of factions
and Lynch leans into the weirdness with this script.”
While infused with the plot of Dune Messiah
Lynch's script for Dune II is more than a fascinating curiosity; it is a glimpse into an alternate post–Return of the Jedi movie landscape where a visionary oddball conjured Herbert's sci-fi works onscreen as a dark
and eye-poppingly weird cinematic odyssey that—as George Lucas' Star Wars remains—could still be a viable franchise today the way Lynch envisioned it: weirding modules
