Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune (Part 2) - Unmade Masterpieces

In part two of this investigation into the production history of Dune, Henry spends lots and lots of time examining Alejandro Jodorowsky's famous attempt to adapt the book in the 70s.
Lots to share this time around so make yourselves comfortable!

[@Lalo3001]

One thing to add (sorry for my long rant). Seeing the incredible drawings and designs by all these legendary artists, as an animated film, (think of Heavy Metal), Jodorowsky's Dune could have been much more feasible. Maybe even going down as possibly the greatest animated film of all time!

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

It would've lacked the scope as an animated film. The film's incredible nature is defined by being so bizarre yet being in the realm of live action. In the realm on animation those kinds of visuals become much less impressive, almost par for the course.

[@drifter402]

Jodorowsky himself said the same thing. Could be cool

[@rontauranac]

By the end of 1974, when Jodorowsky moved in Paris to start working on Dune, you could see in the streets of the french capital posters with the gigantic blue heads and red eyes of the Draags from Alain Topor & René Laloux's animated film "la Planète Sauvage". A movie that's not less imaginative than anything Jodorowsky could have made.

[@fabiovirgilio5684]

I must admit that, despite the sheer eccentricity of the style that Jodorowsky would have given to the movie, I would have loved seeing it.

[@Mink-yu8nu]

Interesting that Charlotte Rampling was Jodorowsky's original choice to play Lady Jessica. Who plays the Reverend Mother in Villleneuve's Dune.

29:30 🤣 this entire description of Dali as the emperor is priceless. Thank you very much for putting all this info together. _He had a drawing of the dolphin toilet in his pocket. 🤣_ Got some hearty laughs out of this, and there's still so much to go. 🙏

[@Lalo3001]

As much as I admire Jodorowsky and his avant garde vision, I'm so glad he never made Dune. Besides being a logistical nightmare due to it's sheer, epic size and dealing with egos like Dali and Wells, it would have been the most expensive film of its' time. Mainstream audiences would have been like "10-12 hours...WTF??!" It would have also been the Heaven's Gate of its' time. Not only would it have flopped miserably, possibly bankrupted the studio, but more importantly, it would have poisoned the well for later Sci Fi films in the late 70s/early 80s just as Heaven's Gate did for Westerns in the 1980s. Think about it: Star Wars, Close Encounters, Alien, and the Blade Runner would not have been made. Studio Chiefs would tell Lucas, Spielberg and Scott, "YOU WANNA MAKE A SCI FI? FORGET IT!!..WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER DUNE.." Jodorowsky would be a laughing stock today; he'd become like Michael Cimino and never direct again.

[@lastword8783]

but what if it succeeded?

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

Lol you just have no creative vision, or are all too content to dwell in what is conventional and established. It being 12 hours, having those people in it, the incredible visuals all would have contributed to making it something completely beyond normal films. Flopping wouldn't matter, what matters is that the film gets made. That alone is worth far, far more than garbage like Star Wars and Alien (okay the latter isn't garbage, but it is severely overrated). This movie's potential value far exceeds the films we got.

[@rossorange2592]

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Alien is good

[@creativecolours2022]

It is better that he didn't make it because he would have destroyed the original plot with all his psychedelic obsessions and he would have made impossible for any other director to make Dune into something watchable. Dune books are complicated by themselves. They didn't need any extra additions or alterations on their plot. I think that what Dune needs is to be made into a TV series in the style of Game of Thrones ( I mean the same production standards) and not into a movie franchise like it was recently done. And that because films have limitations on their duration and their budget. I'm not saying that the recent movie wasn't good . I'm just saying that even in this film that is up until now the most faithful adaptation of the books' original plot and into the mood of the books, they had to leave things out because they couldn't include them into one single film. And even though they've cut out a load of sub plots they managed to cover just the first half of the first book. Dune needs desperately to become a series and Denis Villeneuve to reconsider the filming of a second film and turn it into a series. To use the film as a pilot and release the rest a TV series with a very high budget and the same cast and crew.

Look at the positive side. We didn’t have Dune, but had Santa Sangre instead many years later, which is Jodorowsky’s most beautiful movie, as much as I like Fando y Lis, El Topo and The Holy Mountain. Great rich video.

[@Elayzee]

Unpopular opinion here: I don't think Jodorowsky's Dune would've been a masterpiece. It would've been a terrible "Dune." Throughout the entire documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune" Alejandro Jodorowsky himself only kept emphasizing how far-off he wanted to veer from the book. And with the state of special effects back then, it would've aged terribly. Many of those scenes that was shown were not possible to do with the technology at the time. Throw in that Jodorowsky couldn't even put a definitive estimated runtime (a runtime between 3 hours to 10+ hours), also should've been a red flag from the very beginning. This movie was never gonna actually make it into production. Every time I hear the claim that Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune is "the best movie never made," I often wonder why it is that they never even bat an eye to think that it also could've been "the worst movie never made." Ultimately we'll never know.

[@misslbainbridge5162]

I think you're right! The more I hear about this production, the more it sounds like a self-indulgent mess. Casting his own son as Paul? Inventing deliberate $#!+ scenes? Huge fight scenes with no narrative development? Sounds awful.

[@antun88]

How is that an unpopular opinion? Everyone is saying that.

[@rexharrison6827]

I sat through Villeneuve's iteration of Dune and was utterly underwhelmed by it. Not least because parts of it were so visually dark they may as well have been a black screen. The desert scenes appeared to have been filmed on a heavily overcast day! The whole affair was essentially "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" on morphine (at least, in that film, one could see what was actually happening!). It may have been faithful to the book - it's been over fifty years since I read the original trilogy, so can no longer say for sure - but it has all the excitement and energy of a lump of lead. Had it ever seen the light of day, Jodorowsky's interpretation could have been called many things, but colourless and dull wouldn't be part of the description. It's interesting that even today, the creative efforts that went into the massive pre-production work on Jodorowsky's uber-epic can be glimpsed. "Alien: Prometheus" spotmarks Giger's Harkonnen castle as a distant hill, along with Foss's massive space ship. Foss's influence (and involvement?) can be clearly seen in the initial "Guardians of the Galaxy" film. What a pity Jodowrosky wasn't the director of "Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness" and "The Eternals"! Given a free hand, of course! That would be the enema Disney/Marvel needs.

[@goncaloalmeida5301]

I think if it had been made then it could set SF film back by decades. It would have been a massive commercial failure and many studios would not touch touch the genre as a result

[@irwinisidro]

Despite not being made, and being different from the novel. I would like to see it being made in some form. Would be great to see the proof of concept book published or this being turned into a comic book series or a graphic novel. Although unlikely, he's optimistic that his adaptation is not the final end since there is a interest in it. Even him saying it's very possible for his version of Dune could be done in animation, which is far more accepting for the story that audiences can accept rather than a live action film, as well as show off all the designs created by the artist in their intended style. As amazing the designs look created by Chris Foss, "Moebius", and H.R. Giger, it might not look as effective to look at if made in real life versus if illustrated. Well maybe except H.R. Giger since he proved it with Alien.

[@PurpleColonel]

Jodorowsky says in the movie that he removed the dune connections, changed names and made it as a graphic novel.

[@Angenga]

This project would be achievable via animation these days, I wonder if in a parallel universe where Denis Villeneuve wasnt making a Dune adaptation if this might ever have been revived as an animated movie, that could've been trippy. But alas, I think the idea of this project would probably be more appealing than the ACTUAL movie, I think it was an example of the downside of too much creative license, changing a masterpiece too much runs the risk of losing the spark that made it uniquely great

Exactly!! Something along the lines of "Heavy Metal", only waay more trippier.

Based on the early drafts, outside of Paul and the sandworms there were no other characters from the book represented in the film. Most of what he was doing was deemed unfilmable anyway as he wanted to mash up elements of Superman (Krypton elements) and Star Wars into it so we can't tell for sure what was going to remain in it.
