David Lynch's 1984 science fiction epic "Dune" is a notoriously troubled production, and the film's director has since spoken about the personal stressors he was facing at the time. In a recent interview, Lynch revealed that his infant son was seriously ill during the filming of "Dune," and that this had a significant impact on his ability to focus on the film. Lynch also said that he was struggling with other personal issues at the time, including a difficult relationship with his wife and financial problems.
A troubled production from the start
The production of "Dune" was troubled from the start. The film's budget was slashed by the studio, and Lynch was forced to make significant changes to his original vision for the film. The filming process was also plagued by technical problems, and Lynch clashed with the studio over the final cut of the film.
Despite the challenges, "Dune" was eventually released in 1984. The film was a critical and commercial failure, but it has since gained a cult following. Lynch has disowned the film, but he has also said that he is proud of the work that he did on it.
