If it starts too late, the shooting will be rained out. In the summer in Mexico City, it rains every day, usually between 3 and 7 P.M. Tonight, in the Hall of Rites - an overpowering outdoor set nearly as long as a football field - 800 extras will gather to watch Jessica drink the poisonous water of life. It is 4:15 P.M., and Rafaella De Laurentiis waits impatiently for the rain. ''You do not meet anybody here who isn't ill, about to get ill, or just over being ill,'' says Francesca Annis, who is playing the second most important character in ''Dune'' - Jessica, the mother of the Messiah with frightening powers of her own. Things got better when - after a nasty fight with Churubusco - she imported a chef from Italy and opened her own restaurant at the studio. ''During our first month-and-a-half, 15 per cent of our crew was in the hospital,'' Miss De Laurentiis remembers grimly. An important member of the crew started bleeding internally this morning and is awaiting an airplane back to California. When Universal brought 60 theater owners and their wives to Churubusco, there were frantic memos to be sure the bathrooms were supplied with toilet paper. The bed of an ancient volcano that was to be used as a location turned out to be a dump for the carcasses of dead dogs. A shipment of 1,000 pounds of spaghetti was stuck in customs for three months. Sometimes the daily crises are bizarre enough to be amusing. Even in Mexico, it can not cost less than $50 million.

How much will ''Dune'' cost? Miss De Laurentiis deflects questions about the movie's budget, but she does say that the movie would have cost well over $75 million in Hollywood. In Hollywood, stage rental alone would have cost $20 million,'' says Miss De Laurentiis. ''In Europe, there was no country with enough stage space and a desert. ''Dune'' is being filmed in Mexico despite the erratic electricity because the rate of exchange makes a dollar go a long way and because Churubusco's eight stages were available for the necessary year. ''Imagine making a picture like 'Dune' with no electricity and one telephone, making the most technical picture ever in a country without technology.'' ''We can't sew with the sewing machines, can't make the props, can't use the Xerox machine or the typewriters,'' says Miss De Laurentiis. Today the electricity has been off for three hours. Once or twice a week the telephones fail. Herbert's fifth saga of Arrakis will be published in two months, and he is already several hundred pages into his sixth book.Īt Churubusco Studios, where ''Dune'' has filled all eight sound stages for more than six months, there is always a crisis. Published in 1965, Frank Herbert's cult novel has sold more than 10 million copies and seemingly has forced the author to spend the rest of his life completing the world ''Dune'' started. Herbert's intricate novel about a new Messiah. Nothing grows or lives on the surface of the deep deserts of the planet Arrakis, the Dune of Mr. Two hundred of those men spent two months crawling on their hands and knees over three square miles of desert to clear it of rattlesnakes, scorpions, and every inch of cactus. There are 53 speaking roles, 20,000 extras, four separate planets to be created, nearly 70 sets to be built and torn down, 900 men and women who have worked on the crew at one time or another during the last year. The statistics and logistics could describe a war rather than a movie. ''Mastodon'' is Rafaella De Laurentiis's word for the movie she is producing from Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel. Good manners may be all that saves ''Dune'' from falling apart. Together, David Lynch and Rafaella De Laurentiis comprise the rarest of combinations - a director and a producer who both have good manners.

Read the link in my comment, it's a tutorial on how to actually use Voodoo. Big thanks for this guy and a couple others for recommending Voodoo. I figured I'd respond to my own thread to add closure. No need for the registry edit, I got the voodoo thing to work for me. You need to run once at Administrator and set then the desired Graphic options, then you can run normally.īTW, the game doesn't detect resolution better than 1024x768 on my side. It happened the same to me, because I installed it as Administrator, but ran as normal user. You need to make sure the game is allowed to write in the registry key.
