I knew a guy who'd worked with Jodo, had let on that he was a massive Dune fan, and was briefly shown the bible just once. He still says that the documentary covers just a slice of what he saw from that brief look.
They could not publish it because of rights, however, They ( Jodo and Moebius) took most of the boards and rewrote a story and published a graphic novel called "L'Incal"
Update: Some NFT enthusiast ended up winning the auction. I say that's what he is, but he seems pretty genuine. His medium page talks about gaining custody of the book, and then going about making it accessible. So it sounds like there will be some way for us to be able to read it. We will have to see how the dude monetizes it, or if he monetizes it at all. $2.9M is a lot to dump on a book.
Finally read the first book. Did a comparison video with Star Wars and wanted a comprehensive info on Jodorowsky's DUNE. Your beautiful series is a true gift. I wanted to get into DUNE for years and thanks to your detailed, and well researched videos I find myself absorbed in it. In the world of gossip and clickbait, THIS is how one does a well researched, journalistic content. Thank you!
Read Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom books they have Banths, Sith and Jeddaks. These pulps had a huge influence on both Dune and Star Wars. Barsoom is Mars with different tribes, cults and creatures. Dune is basically an intellectual version of it and Star Wars is closer to it in adventure. The books also inspired Flash Gordon and Superman.
@@LuckyBastardProd HUGE Barsoom fan myself. I always bring it up when talking about the roots of Star Wars and Dune. Such a monolithic series. It's crazy how few sci fi fans know it today.
In 1990 when I was going into 9th grade, the private school I was going to had a summer reading list that I had to pick from. The last book on the list was Dune. I read half of it before my then girlfriend told me that there was a movie of it. It is just as epic as you can imagine it being. I have heard some people compare it to Star Wars, but I don't think it's a fair comparison. I have watched the documentary about Jodorowski. I highly recommend it. I wish that version of Dune got made. Great video. Thank you.
paul wasnt just trained in the bene gesserit ways, he was also trained as a mentat and as an atreides soldier under the best swordsman in the universe.
Hey this is a brilliant mini series you have done. We started with Part 3 but are going back to the beginning, (like Vicinie.) Bravo, and we have subscribed. We are a big Jodorowsky phan, including his other works like the Meta Barons and Blood Royal, and have a conspiracy that the new Dune may have actually taken much from Jodorowsky's Dune, particularly as you study some sequences frame by frame. Bravo again from the NovRen Team!
How are there only 910 views for this video. These videos are great: incredibly well researched and produced and really interesting. Keep up the great work man. These videos are equally as good as The Story of Film by Mark Cousins.
With Blomkamp, it would be either _Halo_ or _Alien 5,_ both of which are interesting. And with Del Toro, I'd definitely say that _At the Mountains of Madness_ is his most intriguing unmade project.
Mah boy's back! Great video. This has to be the most influential movie that was never made. Looking forward to part 2. On another note: Could you pleeeaaase make all your old videos public again? (Unless you've completely deleted them all.) Arthouse Fever, Thoughts On, Cult Sandwich, By the way..., etc. They were all one of my "go to" archives, after I watch movies or have focused on the filmography of certain directors, and I didn't get to watch even half of them before you made them unavailable. Even your old vlogs were interesting, they made us get to know you (and like you) for being more than just a TH-camr making great videos about films. Who cares if a lot of them didn't have many views, they were gold for us who dug deep to find them!
I think this movie would have ended up like Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings, a stylish misfire, mocked by fans and film buffs for decades then gradually appreciated for its good parts.
@@quantumgigavsigmaraven1745 He has no budgeting skills. He's a producer's nightmare. You have to be able to fund a film and try and make the money back.

I love Jodorwoskys other films - but none of them has great storytelling or dialogue. They are artistic and surreal. The strength of Dune was in the storytelling through dialogue and internal monologue. Nothing in Jodorowskys (some magnificent) previous films suggest he would have made good version of Dune.
I agree, he wouldn't have made a good adaptation of Dune. But it would've still been a great surreal movie on its own. I still would've loved to see it.
You are both right and wrong, Jodorowsky's films are unmatched when it comes to visuals and creativity in this regard, however they are lacking when it comes to an intriguing plot and characters. However this is why I think his Dune would've been on of the greatest movies ever made, the incredibly visuals of Jodo paired with Herbert's characters and story
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Maybe, if he kept Herbert's characters & story. Jodo didn't even start reading Dune until he'd already created his own script and preproduction began.
@@joeyondakeys Stop rambling about things pretending to know anything about them in depth when really what you base your worldview on is nothing but vague suggestions or notions you've heard other people repeat.
Can be part Lawrence of Arabia. Can't be GOT. Why? When Frank Herbert wrote his novel LoA existed. GOT didn't. Don't ever use modern day culture retroactively. If anything GOT is "Dune meets Lord of the Rings" in fantasy land.
The trailer looks meh, standard hollywood. its been made because of the last three starwars movies. a copycat effort. Lynch (and maybe Herbert too for the publishers) 'westernized' House Atreides, Frank Herbert likely had House Saud or Zion as the role models, that would make Dune a whole different animal... something anathema to christian western eyes.
By the way, I really admire the tiny details mentioned when it comes to talking about Dune. It's crazy to see how influential the work's been. I actually went to the first screening of Jodorowsky's Dune with my at the time girlfriend. I was so mind fucked when I found out that two of my favorite artists were involved in the production of the film(by artists I'm referring to Dali and Giger). Have you by chance read the first part of Dune yourself?
They should have made this back in the 60's and it could have starred the Beatles. Paul could have played Paul. But it was adapted in the 70's by Georjandro Lucarowsky.
I wish Jacobs had lived to make the movie. I'm sure it would have been interesting. Nobody thought Planet of the Apes would work. It's fun to speculate on where science fiction cinema would have gone if it had been successful.
Yes, when I watched it in cinemas when it first came out, I and so many others, thought it was great. It's really frustrating listing to people not even born when it came out, to be continually parroting negative BS that they've picked up on the internet. They must stay as part of ' group think ', and have no guts to have an opinion of their own.
People only say that it’s a shame the film never got made without actually knowing what it is or blindly regurgitating the same talking points, ironically doing the same thing the Dune saga warned against which was blindly trusting based on certain characteristics. The film script was awful, there was literally gonna be a scene where 2000 extra were gonna defecate on camera.
poped up in my feed probably because of the recent movie release, well this dude did not make a movie about a book he did not read...not sure why people still think this is relevant
There are so many different aspects that goes into the making of a well-made and successful film. And for high concept projects those aspects quickly multiplies. You can have the coolest ideas, the most interesting and groundbreaking artists involved and yet the film is often just as strong as your weakest links. To simply say that IF Jodorowsky had gotten the chance to make this film it would have been the greatest film ever made is straight out naive. The bigger the idea, the harder it is to realize successfully. This film would probably have flopped financially as it would have been waaaay too long to work comercially.
Why doesn’t he just make his movie then? He doesn’t need Dune, the movie he wanted to make was far enough removed from the source material he could do it. I think all he wsnted Dune for was the name recognition.
Its good for 60s...70s era. His Dune concept looks to me psyhadelic "to comic" and 70s musical style like.. I prefere new 2021 movie concept. Mybe he can adapt for these era movie Inkal or Methabaron?
Never been able to get into any version of Dune. Can't connect with the story or any of the characters, and I find the monochromatic aesthetics dull and off-putting.
@@ethanwashoe5868 I was pleasantly surprised , really enjoyed it , didnt think it was overly long or too short , hitting the goldilocks zone of sci fi movies for me. I think it was decent Ive watched it twice already now.

Glad to see you're still doing these.
I just found you a week ago i’ve never been more happy welcome back Henry!
Can’t wait for the next video hope it comes soon I’d love to learn more about Jodorowsky‘s Dune
could do a video on Neil Blokamp or Guillermo del toro?
I think those are the most interesting cases when it comes to cancelled proyects.
With Blomkamp, it would be either _Halo_ or _Alien 5,_ both of which are interesting. And with Del Toro, I'd definitely say that _At the Mountains of Madness_ is his most intriguing unmade project.

Wonderful work btw!! Does anyone know the music being used? Thank you
OOOOOOOOOOO YES HELLO WELCOME BACK
also hey @disregardinghenry why did you take down your cult sandwich videos?
Dune 2020 is gonna be a landmark masterpiece of cinema. The hype is unreal.
Prolly be woke . So eh
The trailer looks meh, standard hollywood. its been made because of the last three starwars movies. a copycat effort.

it’ll bomb... hard

Waiting for part 2.
Good to see you're back. Hopefully we see you more often.
Missed you!!
what's the music at 7:06?
The main plot is quite simple - it's all the other details which are complex.
that's not necessarily a good thing, I'm not sure if the plot works for or against the story, it'd be neat if the plot's complexity matched its themes
OOF! been waitin on this one! welcome back! :)

Yes
David lean would definitely be interesting for a Dune
good to see ya back brotha.
hell of a comeback lol.
btw. I think we need to collab again👀
What is Dune about?
An entire Universe where everyone is a drug addict, all doing what drug addicts do.
And politics. Lots of politics
I like Lynch's Dune. So did Herbert.
Where is Part 2???! Please educate and entertain me!

Make a video on Kubrick’s Aryan Papers, AI , or Napoleon.
One sentence. Game of thrones in space.

Why the need for the over-loud background score?

The greatest movie, by farrrrrr, never made.

The fewer movies he makes, the better.
They talk about a never made film then show stills from 1984 dune. Lol
If snyder can release his justice then maybe some Jodorowsky will get another crack.
Why doesn’t he just make his movie then? He doesn’t need Dune, the movie he wanted to make was far enough removed from the source material he could do it. I think all he wsnted Dune for was the name recognition.
Not 10,190 a.d. it’s 10, 190 after the founding of the guild. Its place in relation to us is never made clear.
Thank you. Drives me nuts for some reason.
Great documentary: except for the background music...
I am glad they never made Jodo's version it would not have been Dune at all
First off....the spice is small part of the intergalactic economy which is controlled by CHOAM....for instance, Bene Tlexau doesnt use spice
o shit waddup!
Goddamn youre alive
Its good for 60s...70s era. His Dune concept looks to me psyhadelic "to comic" and 70s musical style like.. I prefere new 2021 movie concept. Mybe he can adapt for these era movie Inkal or Methabaron?
Will someone please just give Alejandro 50 million so that this can happen? Go fund me page or something. He needs to make this shit.
Holy shit
Jodos, 1st movie el topo.
The greatest film never made is Kubrick's Napoleon
we all thought you were back. you betrayed me, you didn’t keep your promise, you tricked me & i don’t care anymore.
Paul is not the Messiah
Have you seen his other movies?, it would have an incomprehensible piece of crap!
You went through the synopsis of Dune and I'm like 'yeah, so?' The story is so fucking boring.
Never been able to get into any version of Dune. Can't connect with the story or any of the characters, and I find the monochromatic aesthetics dull and off-putting.
maybe you're just dumb
The greatest nothing film.
Thank God he didn’t make this film. It would have been SUCH a huge flop.
Can't believe there's mention of what "spice" actually is, and therefore the kingpin significance of the worms. Face-palm; sigh -- typical TH-camr.
Calling a movie that was never made a......masterpiece......LOL! It was a masterpiece that it never got made.
and they remade dune for 2021 and its probably going to be a bore , I wish they'd just made Jodorowskys dune instead
I just watched it and it was definitely not a bore. It was really good but I wish it would of been longer the story cut short
