TO QUOTE HIMSELF "HE (r worded) FRANK HERBERT" why do you ask? To make his story "actually good", of course. T'ed his own son too.

It's not that he didn't have a part to play, but the affecting part of this all seems to be around the artwork. Which he did well in getting talented artists, but my premise was the Dune film itself didn't inspire sci-fi it was the artists from this project that were extremely talented and went on to make movies in science fiction namely "Star Wars, Alien, The Terminator, Flash Gordon and Raiders of the Lost Ark" that they mention among others. I just find this a bit absurd and see it as a usual tactic of his throughout his career of adding importance to his projects, that while may have been great, were not these industry changing spiritual revelations that he makes them all out to be. That's all. Nothing against this version of Dune, I just think he over embellishes a lot and we showed that throughout the video.

@@FrameVoyager 1. "but my premise was the Dune film itself didn't inspire sci-fi it was the artists from this project that were extremely talented and..." - it was Jodorowsky who assembled these talents, and based on the revelations of these talents you cite yourself, he created a highly inspirational atmosphere that induced all kinds of creative ideas. You're treating this part mechanically, separating Jodorowsky from his team as if people are wooden figures endowed with certain qualities that show under any circumstances. They don't. I have experiensed that myself. The role of a spiritual figure, a mentor, a father, a sage, a maharishi and so on has been the perpetual topic throughout the perceived history of humankind. Your premise is shaky. 2. "I just find this a bit absurd and see it as a usual tactic of his throughout his career of adding importance to his projects" - It's not as much him supposedly adding importance to his projects as other people views of those. However, it has nothing to do with importance. It's about attitude, a subjective matter in itself. His brutally eccentric manner and obsession, sweeping away obstacles with little willingness to compromise, sent ripples in the water. I am neither for nor against that. I remain indifferent to one’s personality unless it leads to a prosecutable offense. Even in such instances, I prefer to distinguish between these two aspects. Why do you not? 3. Do I think Jodorowsky movie would flop or not? There's no way to know. Do I wish Jodorowsky made it? Absolutely.

2:35 listening to him speak french with a spanish accent is throwing me off 😅

When considering who'd be the artist to the Final Fantasy franchise, Square originally wanted Möbius instead of Yoshitaka Amano. I never imagined how would that be until the 11:53 illustration on this video.

3 ай бұрын

For sure! But I think the creativity belongs to the artists like H.R Giger, Dan O'bannon, Moebius, and others that actually went on to work on all of the sci-fi films it's credited in inspiring. A lot of the projects that it supposedly "inspired" are not really direct connections. Like with Star Wars, "George Lucas probably saw the Dune script." Is a usual line we've seen. So to me, it's more that the right creative talent got brought together at the right time and because of this project that failed, they now could go on together to make films like Alien or Blade Runner. You don't really see Jodorowsky follow.

Frank Herbert: "Jodorowsky's script would have been ten hours or more..." George. R. R. Martin: "Umm..."

It would be great if it were translating into an animated miniseries of Jodorowsky's Dune.

Actually the storyboard its still used by the studios as example to make the ones for new productions.

No one: Jodorowsky: Work exceeds the artist and to some extent kills it because humanity, by receiving the impact of the Myth has a major need to erase the individual who received it and transmitted.

The teem of artistes that Jodorowski put together for Dune, is what made the success of Aliens!

The Holy Mountain and every Jodo work changes you. Pure art.

Dune needs a 14 hour high budget series treatment. These move just leave too much content out

There are basically three types of sci-fi/fantasy: 1) Fandom -- utilitarian, reactionary, RPG-based, militaristic. 2) Grounded -- basically a gentrification of the genre. Made for critics and award committees. 3) Visionary, surreal, unfettered, psychedelic -- Jodorowsky, Metal Hurlant, lots of 70s sci-fi. Niche, sadly dormant, but with lots of terrain left unexplored before receding in the blockbuster era. A more open-minded public would embrace or at least support ideas like Jodorowsky's. But the general public has been successfully conditioned to embrace monetary-based spectacle over art. Exploratory artists are perpetually out of favor. It's hard to light a spark in a vacuum.

😅😅😅 you're welcome

Absurd boomer movie, glad it was never made as it would just be another drunken disaster from the 1960's - 1970's.

Shame the three hour version wasn’t made. I’d have loved to have seen Giraud’, Foss’, and Giger’s designs brought to life with Pink Floyd’s music. I also wouldn’t have minded it if Jodorovsky hadn’t directed it. There’s definitely something of the dark about him. Note how he throws up certain gang signs in the photos in this video.

I think studios wanted to make it in some sense, but from what it seems like I think they were all very wary of working with Jodorowsky. You can't really blame them

VIVA CHILE

Jodorowski created El Topo, and the Holy Mountain - two of the greatest films ever. The opinion presented in this video that Hollywood studio execs were justified in not trusting Jodorowski to make Dune is complete garbage. Go watch those movies and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. You'll also likely be an imaginatively enhanced person.

The trust aspect has nothing to do with how good/bad those films were and everything to do with the things he said. Didn't call his films garbage, I just pointed out he says some crazy stuff. That could cost Hollywood's execs money if there was controversy over that.

@@FrameVoyager I didn't say that you called his films garbage. We're going to have to agree to disagree here. We all know Hollywood actors, directors, and producers are famously shown saying and even worse doing headline grabbing highly unethical things. Yet they're almost always allowed to continue with their careers after the dust settles. Jodorowski would have made artistic and pop culture triumph. It would have been psychedelic Star Wars before Star Wars. The big execs of Hollywood rejected his film because of the proposed big budget not because he was an impractical pervert.

there was also a later abandoned script that Ridley Scott was going to direct (before lynch) in 1979 after Alien. Main thing people take from that script though is that alia is born of incest between paul and jessica.

Yep! Weird ideation. Glad they made Alien haha

Everyone swears this movie wouldve been the second coming of jesus, but after watching the documentary about it I'm incredibly glad this pervert's work never saw the light of day.

Lmao mediocre dudes always downplaying great artists

Jodorowsky was not a very practical and palatable man for the pragamtism- bent Hollywood studios' bosses, but what is clear that while the current 'Dune' is solid and reliable - it is pedestrian, art-wise - mediocre and unimaginative, visually dreary - dull in a few shades of gray (except literally a moment with the blue 'water of life' potion, the entire flm is a goo of off-white to faded beige to asphalt gray), with every space - whether palaces or cave dwellings - looking like delapidated boxy shelters, and flat acting, all dressed like with leftovers from the Lynch's film - once you look for comparison at what the visionary designer like Iris Van Herpen creates for instance - who should be the designer for such film; instead - nothing like a galactic saga happening 20 thousands (!) years in the future ought to be; for sure - nothing psychedelic or surreal, or mind-bending or peering into the thrills space and mind travel.

Well let's wait for another 50 years for the "visionaries" that you esteem of to actually make a movie that exists in the real world and not just in the realm of fantasy

Yeah so after reading this comment section I come to a conclusion that you guys really rather have nothing than something. Its not like you pay for it in any way.

Don’t you talk shit about Alejandro.

Why not? Just showing examples of what he said 🤷‍♂️

Jodorowsky should admit that he lost out on making Dune because of his sloppiness and lack of focus as an artist. He throws ideas onto the screen hoping it will amount to something, like present day Disney.

Exactly. And then blames film studios for not picking up this film because they were afraid or it's the corporate elite kind of deal, when really you can't blame them when Jodorowsky makes shocking statements around his film. I'd be scared to have him do it too

I only wish that Disney or any major movie studio would produce work as interesting, unique and idiosyncratic as Jodorwosky ever did.

Please watch all his films and then come back with that same attitude.

Jodorowsky seems like an occultist weirdo.

It just occurred to me, Jodo could use AI to make his movie in a couple of years.

Not to be taken seriously.

Appreciate it!

It would have been a _horrible_ adaptation of _Dune._ Jodorowsky loves to do weird stuff just for the sake of being weird. And since far more people watch movies than read novels, that bizarre "adaptation" would have supplanted and buried the novel in the popular consciousness, basically ruining _Dune_ for pop culture. Even as a result of Lynch's _Dune_ how many people think that Paul Atriedes actually gained the supernatural power to make it rain on Arrakis at the end of the story, and believe that Paul actually _was_ the Chosen One savior of the Fremen, instead of the intentions of the novel as a _warning against_ charismatic leaders like Paul?

Dune. But gay
