DuneInfo There's a really intense hunger for it now. The world is ready for it. Especially after almost 2 decades now of "Matrix" "Lord of the rings" and "Avatar" esque types of science fiction stories with big budgets and grandiose storytelling. Even "Elysium" and "Gravity" are a point in that direction. There's got to be someone out there who can handle this Masterpiece.
Jodorowsky's dune will probably never happen, I hate to admit it. I think the closest we may get, is if the rumors of a Dennis Villeneuve adaptation are true, that they could maybe bring Jodorwsky on board as at least an art supervisor or a similar position.
***** Sadly you're right. HBO or SHOWTIME could pull if off but both networks already have their "hit sci-fi" /fantasy shows in progress. From what I saw, his(Jodos) vision was extremely eccentric (nothing wrong with that) but very tripy. To match his "artistic flair" with an actually watchable show is a gamble for any network. But I'd be willing to take the trip.
@@nautilusproducciones1040, apples and oranges. Villeneuve was trying to create an adaptation of "Dune". Jodo intended to create a completely original and revolutionary avant-garde trip with only a very thin surface-level connection to Frank Herbert's work.
@@HoriaNeagu Having watched Villeneuve's version I think it's fair to say Jodorowsky had a different interpretation in mind (see the ''Jodorowsky's Dune'' DVD). He certainly had a different visual approach, hiring Chris Foss to give spaceships some colour, life and personality as opposed to the usual view that NASA/2001 had prepared us for. See the book ''21st Century Foss'' for some examples. Unfortunately Villeneuve has gone for the grand scale but the blandest colour palette possible. Just my 2 cents.
Your soulmate is whoever you are with now, throughout life one strikes up deep connections that end as soon as the relationship is over, it’s just the way love works, it’s heart breaking but it happens.
@@zilladthrilla The fact that every self-respecting movie conaisseur considers her to be THE ice-cold upper class character actress didn't hurt, though. Her performance in François Ozon's 'Swimmingpool' is just legendary.
@@zilladthrillaThe more I look into Jodorowsky's movie, the more points of similarity I find. I wish Villeneuv had been a bit... crazier... and taken some of the more really wild ideas, but there is probably more of Jodorowsky in Denis' film that most people will ever realize.
I kinda wish filmmakers were just able to go buckwild and make their own versions of any film and story they wanted. It would get messy but there would be certain cases that it would be interesting and you get two good potential movies in place of maybe just 1 or none. Villeneuve's movie sounds great but I'm always gonna want to have seen this version as they were making it.
It was due to Jodorowsky seeing Dark Star that he called O'Bannon in to work on Dune. Then because Dark Star didn't become a success in the States (but was popular in Europe) O'Bannon decided to make an SF movie that was frightening instead of comedic. Having met Giger and having seen his work whilst on the Dune project, he knew who to go to for a completely original alien design. Circles within circles. It's amazing how many times Dan O'Bannon got screwed. Left penniless after Dune failed, when Alien was finally taken up by the studio, the producers tried to take credit for the story, claiming their rewrites negated O'Bannon's claim to the script. Thank god he stood up for himself. If O'Bannon sounds cynical about the money-men and studio system then he has every right to. May he rest in peace.
@@DrWhom yes, Carradine would play Leto, it was confirmed in the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune". But we should forgive Dan's mistake, he was still a brilliant being. :)
+WalterLiddy Moebius did work on Alian, so did Giger ... Moebius worked on the space suit design, which is very stunning as usual. Giger worked on the xenomorphs and the very organic internal rib cage designs of the alien environment ...
@championchap You may be right. What I appreciated about the Lynch version was how alien and other-worldly everything looked, and how even some of the gestures were strange. The new version seems drained of color; somewhere on TH-cam someone added color to the trailer and it looks much better.
In memory of Dan O'Bannon, who passed away 5 years ago today.

Any news on a possible BIG screen or HBO picking up the story and adapting it?
Jeremy Sears Unfortunately not. Paramount had the rights, but they let them expire in 2011.

What a lovely storyteller Dan O'Bannon is ! I'd love to hear more from Dan about Dune, Alien, Darkstar, etc.
There are several interview segments with him on the making of Alien doc , which you can watch here :
th-cam.com/play/PL85491038CCF48329.html
Quentin Tarantino's new podcast with Roger Avary has a magnificent review of Darkstar and nothing but praise for the brilliance of Dan O'Bannon.
Very warm words for Jodorowsky from the great Dan O Bannon. Shame Dune never happened. I think it would have been something special. RIP Dan O Bannon
Let´s see if Villeneuve pulls it of! ;) Greetings from Chile

Brilliant interview. RIP Dan O'Bannon. Hi, Mr. Giraud, and thank you for your work.
In another reality they did Dune and the world was healed
God bless them
Yeah.
Wow, what a compliment.
An advanced human.
Dan was a genius! So very thankful for his work 👏🏻
Takes a great artist to recognise and acknowledge other great artists.
5:49 make me cry, both Dan O'Bannon and Jodorowsky were genius.

Most of them have entered the spaceship already, just waiting for Jodorovsky to come on the bridge.
I like to pick at my beard like Dan. I could totally get along with him. R.I.P tho. You will always be remembered.
RIP Mr Obannon.
Funny that Charlotte Rampling ended up starring in a Dune-adaptation anyway.
My thoughts exactly.
DV did that as a nod to the Jodo attempt, methinks.

@@maniak1768 agree completely. And the overall casting of the new Dune is really good.

Pinback: "They don't want a happy ship." :o)
Dude needs more publicity

Mœbius was so amazing. Everyone read the Incal.
Dark star is my all time fave!!!
Timberwolvesfan 84 you’re all time favorite movie ever? Really ?

From all of them… Dan was the most humble and more talented human being ever created.
Great Man.
What? David Carradine was supposed to play Kynes? I was under the impression David Carradine would play Leto Atreides!
sounds more like it
@@DrWhom yes, Carradine would play Leto, it was confirmed in the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune". But we should forgive Dan's mistake, he was still a brilliant being. :)
He pronounced “Kynes” as “Keen-ess” instead of “Kines.” Interesting.
very modest home
He looks comfortable and it's sunny. That's more than many.
Is it its hard to tell and generally most American homes look a decent size
Duna esta ahi duna existe.
Didn't Jean Giraud also work on Alien?
I hadn't heard that. I kind of doubt it, because the designs in Alien are so obviously Giger's work. Maybe the Nostromo itself?
He designed the space suits.
+WalterLiddy

He definitely worked on empire strike back. Just look at the Metabaron and Lando calrissian's assistant
I've discovered that "they" DON'T WANT movies to be TOO GOOD. That's why this version was pulled.
That and Dali wanted like 500,000$ an hour lol
My impression: It would have been fantastic, but it wouldn't be Dune. I think the new Dune will be faithful to the novel.

Is he being interviewed in an apartment complex in LA? Wtf?
Yes, where he lived…?
This guy created the “Aliens” franchise i think. The original script writer.
