Jodorowsky's Dune (2013)

Jodorowsky's Dune is a 2013 American documentary film directed by Frank Pavich. The film explores Chilean-French director Alejandro Jodorowsky's unsuccessful attempt to adapt and film Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune in the mid-1970s. In 1973, film producer Arthur P. Jacobs optioned the film rights to Dune but died before a film could be developed. The option was then taken over two years later by director Alejandro Jodorowsky, who proceeded to approach, among others, Virgin Records, with the prog rock groups Tangerine Dream, Gong, and Mike Oldfield before settling on Pink Floyd and Magma for some of the music; artists H. R. Giger, Chris Foss, and Jean Giraud for set and character design; Dan O'Bannon for special effects; and Salvador Dalí, Orson Welles, Gloria Swanson, David Carradine, Mick Jagger, Amanda Lear, and others for the cast.

***SPOILER ALERT***

I was introduced to Dune back in 1994 by DUNE II, which means I was living in the Dune universe. Crazy game! I watched David Lynch's movie a few years later, and I liked it a lot. I've also read the first Dune book. So, I like Dune; I don't like Star Wars.

Hey Jodorowsky, my maaaaan, can you pass me some of that shit so that I can make a movie too? Seriously.

Craaaaazy documentary; this was going to be huuuuge. RIP H.R. Giger.
