After "Holy Mountain", Jodorowsky vowed to adapt the science fiction novel "Dune", with an ambitious goal to change the world and change thinking. He organized the strongest team in history, and actually participated in Orson Welles, Mickey, and even Dali! Moebius's storyboards of the year were connected into a long shot, which was more than enough to satisfy the idiots, and it was even more certain that what followed, from "Alien" to "Prometheus", all lived under that huge soul. Jodorowsky showed his passion and said, "I raped the original book", and it was fun to talk about the process of forming a class. After two years of preparation for a big splash of gold dollars, Hollywood was discouraged, and the masterpiece came to nothing. Dedicated behind-the-scenes warrior, and then shine in countless sci-fi films

A must-see documentary for movie fans and sci-fi fans. Jodorowsky's "Dune" had to be aborted because the Hollywood studio refused to invest after the script and illustrations were completed and Dali, H.R. Giger, Orson Welles and other masters were invited. Who knows that later famous sci-fi films such as Star Wars, Alien, Blade Runner, and Macross are deeply influenced by this unfinished film~ (8.5/10)

At the end of the day, movies are for businessmen, politicians, philosophers, conspirators, and dudes with extraordinary creative talent, not for pure artists. Pure artist wanting to do movies is what happened to Jodorowsky and his Dune.

Alejandro Jodorowsky: I wanted Mick Jagger to play Feyd-Rautha, a character. How am I going to contact this person who is not going to be impressed that I have the great power to make a movie? He is in the peak of his fame, of his glory. How? And I was invited to an event in Paris. It was a big gathering of the Parisian bourgeoisie and at the other side of the room, a big room, I don't know, maybe 150 square meters, was Mick Jagger. I saw him from a distance and I think he saw me and I saw him walking, he started walking. He started walking between the people and I then realized that he was coming to me. He crossed the room and he stood in front of me. And I told him, "I want you for my movie." And he said only one word, "Yes."

Alejandro Jodorowsky: Baron Harkonnen is a big, big monster who have anti-gravitational implants and he is in the air all the time because he is too, too heavy. Orson Welles. Orson Welles had a bad reputation because they said that he liked to drink and eat so much that he ate at the movies. He ate a lot, and then he did not finish the movies, he was moody. But I said, "No, Orson Welles is a genius, he is the one." And since he liked to eat they say he goes to the gastronomic restaurants in Paris. Therefore, I sent a secretary to ask in all the gastronomic restaurants in Paris: "Where does Orson Welles eat?" And we discovered a restaurant and then he was eating. Six bottles of wine. He was eating. And then I asked to the chef "What is the best wine he want?" He say, "That." Then, "Send him a bottle." And then, he drink the bottle and he want to speak to me. And then, I speak with all the respect, because was for me was an idol. He say, " I don't want to do it. I don't want any more." I say to him, "I will propose something. If you do the picture, even if we pay what you want as an actor, I will hire the chef of this restaurant and you will eat, as here, every day." And he say, "I do it."
