Philippe Druillet on Jodorowsky's Dune

Philippe Druillet (a French comics artist and creator) talks about how he started, and ended, his work on Jodorowsky's Dune.
From the "Moebius Redux" Documentary.

His honesty is so refreshing.

Villeneuve Tributed Druillet in Dune PArt 2 with the Harkonnen Map Room

I suppose Jodo don't consider him a "spiritual warrior", is so sad.

[@marcasdebarun6879]

I did find the mysticism surround the adaption a bit much (not that I wouldn't have loved to have seen it; Jodo is one of my ersonal favourite directors), so it's nice to see Druillet take a no-nonsense approach as an outsider. He's right that the film was way too ambitious regarding special effects, although since animation is now a viable medium, perhaps we'll see Jodorowsky's Dune after all. Can't say I agree with him on his opinion of Dune the book though, lol.

Druillet throwin' shade! This is a great story though

[@NarquelieNarmo]

C'est là que tu te rends compte que Jodo a un énorme égo pour virer sur un coup de tête une sommité pareille juste parce qu'il s'est senti froissé de pas battre le tarot.

Jodo's Dune had the potential to be the best film ever made - if only Jodo wasn't working on it. He'd have turned it into something entirely abstract that movie effects just weren't available to do convincingly. Sure it would have been great on shrooms though.

Après avoir vu la version de Jodorowsky de dune Je crois que cela ressemblait à un musical rock sur un thème de dune

"As tiresome as a rainy day." Absolute genius. I think the new Dune film will kind of fizzle. Especially when facing the new Bond film.

Perso, je pense que le Dune de Lynch offre certains des plus grands moments de SF jamais filmés au cinéma, de meme que Lone Sloane est pour moi le top de la SF en BD. Je suis persuadé que Jodorowsky aurait fait une bouse.

[@mathisgolik3636]

Le dune de Jodo aurait été une adaptation à chier, mais une expérience unique de cinéma. Peut être une bouse, mais peut être génial, on ne le saura jamais

[@bastetdekemet2332]

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi le Dune de Lynch est autant critiqué alors qu'il est prenant, assez fidèle à l'histoire, les acteurs passent bien et correspondent à l'oeuvre, les musiques sont épiques, ...

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

I agree, especially on the latter part: most people got all excited about Jodorowsky's Dune because they first came across it through the documentary and that movie plays the "greatest movie never made" card to get the audience emotionally involved. I've been aware of the project since the early 00s and always thought it would've been a disaster had it been made...but Jodorowsky's chances to make it were practically zero: no studio (and he needed Hollywood studio money) would've ever financed a 10-hour movie, let alone a 10-hour surrealistic sci-fi movie full of special-FX. Also, most people freaked out at Lynch's changes to the story, which are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things: Jodorowsky was going to change EVERYTHING. So, yeah, a bouse would've been the most likely outcome. Sorry if I answered in English, but I can only read French (and not too well either).

[@altar7885]

@@thermonuclearcollider4418 No problem. I happened to hear a whole radio show about Jodorowsky's project recently and learned that he actually said that his film wouldn't be an adaptation, but his own project. He said that he hoped his movie would create a new religion... So a funny, weird looking turd of a movie was definitely the most likely outcome. And now we know that Villeneuve's movie is boring and conventional, I'd say Lynch still holds the most interesting take on Dune.

Je suis curieux de voir ce qu'aurait donné ce film, Jodorowsky avec Philippe Druillet , sans doute intéressant. La version Lynch se laisse regarder, avec de belles choses ( le ver des sable, feyd rottah(?) et la Guilde . Mais il y a aussi beaucoup de choses très éloignées de l'esprit du livre.Franchement, je voyait ni Letho ni Paul Atreïde comme ça. Et les sardokars, franchement, on dirait qu'ils sortent d'une fonderie.Quand aux images d'Arrakis, nulles sans parler des fremen Môndieuhpapossible!
