Jodorowsky's Dune
« on: March 17, 2014, 01:49:04 AM »
This is supposed to hit theaters on March 21st.  I have been anticipating this for a while and am thoroughly excited.

Also yesterday's Wall Street Journal had the following write-up:

Looks like fun.  :)

But I'm no subscriber to the Wallstreet Journal, so can only read the first couple of scentences of the article...

A film about making a film?  :-X

Nope;

It's a film about a fictional film that was not made...  :D

It reeks a bit like Spinal Tap to me. ;)

My confusion is not simulated.

After the first book the story sank into the abyss of writing for the words IMO but many think otherwise.

Copy and paste the article title into Google and search for the article that way. You can do this for many news services.

If it comes out here I'm kind of tempted to see it.

For people interested in the creative and collaborative process of making films, and for fans of Frank Herbert's novels, this attempt to make "Dune" has sort of been the "white whale"... It was an ambitious undertaking that didn't happen for a lot of reasons.

I've been looking forward to this picture for a while - I think I first read about Jodorowsky's Dune in Starlog in the early 1980's, and each time I see parts of David Lynch's version, a little part of me thinks "It coulda been different..."

This docu would be interesting from the historical standpoint, Jodorowsky's work having reputedly influenced the scifi genre business beyond the confines of its own aborted production. It should also be inspirational for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary to add a little spice to their miniature projects.

One day, Peter Jackson will make the original Dune trilogy as a series of movies, and it will be glorious.

(Yes, I know not everyone will agree with this, but leave me alone to dream... )

I never liked the David Lynch/Dino DiLaurentis version. Wrong in so many ways.

It's a shame Jodorowsky never made his version. It looks like the grandaddy of a lot of the sci-fi movies that did get made over the ensuing 20 years...

I'm not too sure if I fully agree with you, over the years I have read some things about this project, a bit an excess, for instance, Emperor Padisha was to be played by Salvador Dali sitting in a golden toilet as throne.
I would say some of these gossips have grown over the years to increase the legend of the failed project.
