It is by no accident that Luke Skywalker lives on Tatahouine. Lucas borrowed the name from that town because they shot the Tatahouine scenes near there. So, I would suspect that the pronounciation in the movie would be very close to the actual pronounciation if not exact.
You are quite right Mark. That is where a lot of the exterior scenes of the Star Wars movies were filmed.
It is really a small dusty market town, but it has a very nice hotel with a swimming pool! If you want to see a picture I took there a few years ago, go to:

As for the pronounciation, I think I will go with the simplest:
TA TA WEEN , all syllables pretty much equal.
