So cool! I remember an interview with Taika where he says Holy Mountain was a big influence for Thor Ragnarock and I know he’s a big fan so how cool to get such a strong endorsement from Jodorowsky and how lucky for all of us that he’s still around in his 90s to continue to share his creative vision.

I just hope Alejandro stays with us long enough to watch the film! What started as a failed adaptation of Dune now will have it's own film adaptation, just pure poetry!

Taika is brilliant in anything he does outside of Marvel. I have faith (but even with him it's hard to produce and market, let's face it)

3:03 _"I just loved the idea of someone who has no idea what he's doing with his life, and is then being charged with saving the universe."_ Taika Waititi basically summarized "The Fifth Element" in a brief sentence. I always enjoy when a connection between The Incal and The Fifth Element is made (doesn't matter if it's unintentional or not).

Please, for the love of all that is holy, this film must be made. not only for the humanoids, the memory and legacy of Sir Jodorowsky and Moebius, but for a proper example of comic being adapted to film and done well. a perfect director has been picked. the big question is will it be animated or live action. with animation, more could be done to perfectly capture every bit of the original art direction.

Honestly I feel that Terry Giliam or Luc Besson would have been the more fitting directors for INCAL, because I see Waitit drowning that story in a lot of jokes, rather than focus on the outworldly weirdness, the original comic contains. It was odd, not funny. But at least the project got greenlit in Jodos' lifetime, which is kinda a third of his DUNE put to motion. Another small victory for Jodorowski, again. 🙂

I'm honestly glad it's not animated, because I feel Giraud is a great artist because he works with comics, where there is a lot more emphasis on creating good images and putting images together in a way that makes sense, rather than something akin to flowing motions. If you'd want to create an animation based on it you'd either do something completely different, which would create a whole different feel than the book, or you could try to mimic his style, which is practically doomed from the start and unecessary even if it would work, seeing how we already have his great art, there's no need to do it again.

Wow, my favorite comic growing up and directed by someone who can do it justice. a resounding YES! for me.

This is not going to be easy. The vision of the future was quite different back then. There is a whole new universe to be created and maintained around the story. Taika is the one, no doubt , but this movie needs more than one genius.

I just keep coming back to this video because it’s the only bit of content we have about this film and I need it to feed my soul until there’s more. I know Taika won’t let this slip away like Jodorowsky’s Dune and I know it’s likely many years away before we see this film, but I have absolute faith in what these three artists (including Moebius here) can create together.

FANTASTIC! CONGRATS TO JODOROWSKY. I HOPE WE WILL SEE JODO IN A ROLE. AND BRING MOEBIUS BACK IN A SCENE.DONE WITH TODAYS TECH...RIP MAESTRO...WAOW ITS HAPPENING..TAIKA NOW YOU PLAY WITH MASTERY . GOOD LUCK🍀☀️🌟

Literally my favorite comic ever. I cannot believe the universe has granted me with such gold in my lifetime.

ive been waiting my whole life for this i am so excited wow

I think we all need to stop for a second and think on the fact we live in a universe where the guy who played Tom Kalmaku in Green Lantern is now directing an adaptation of an Alejandro Jodorowsky comic WITH Jodorowsky's blessing.

God what I would pay to peruse Jodo’s Dune production omnibus. Hopefully it gets to print or is digitally scanned.

I am glad waitiki does this... he is an artist, a vreat aesthetic and he does have a very good sense of humor.I think this film will be amazing!

Actually Jodorowsky was working in a project to take Metabarons to cinema, back in the 90's, but suddenly one of his sons (Teo Jodorowsky) lose his life at a very young age. So he drops every project for a while. I really hope this project see the green light, because Alejandro is a well known "Anti-Hollywood" character, but maybe, under a science fiction "package" we could have a mainstream cinematic jodo-verse.
