if the impossible conditions we're met that would have let the movie have been made at all it would have been weirdly awesome, it's not like we didn't get a couple of lovely Dune movies anyway. If Jodorowsky had made his we would have got to eyeball a bunch of top-class weirdos all acting together.

the documentary was awesome though, so maybe it's worth it just for that

orson welles as baron harkonnen.
dali had 3 minutes of screentime because he asked 100,000 dollars a minute, and his scene would have consisted of him pissing and making GBS threads into two tubes at the same time and burning a giraffe; the rest of the time there'd been an animatronic of him.
jodorowsky got a martial arts trainer to train his son for half a year.
paul is concieved by jessica turning some of letos blood into semen (hes an eunuch) and we'd get a scene of the blood-semen traveling down a vajayjay.
the ending is terrible. it ignores the political nuances of why arrakis must stay a desert planet and it becomes a lush paradise which travels the galaxy enlightening other planets.
also not one ounce, not ONE bit, of the loving awesome abrahamic religion stuff the book has.

now it would have been a great experience of film, but it would have been terrible as a movie or a movie of dune.
the art by chris foss, moebius and giger was rly cool though.

"they didnt do this movie because they were AFRAID of jodorowsky and his vision!" no jodorowsky is a terrible pothead director. interesting but not marketable.

If some of what is said is to be believed, I get the feeling he was so overwhelmed by trying to impress his idols and make this into something great. The deals with Dali, the deals with Welles.

Had Jodorowsky made or attempted to make his film 30 years later, without the decades of mystique, the fandom would be screaming for his blood for any deviation from the source material.

"He accepted the part with apparent glee, his only demand being that the Emperor’s throne must be a toilet made from intersected dolphins, the tails forming the feet and the mouths to receive piss and poo poo separately. (He thought it terribly bad taste to mix the two.) Dalí then insisted that he be paid $100,000 an hour to sit on it. He also deemed it essential that we see the Emperor defecating and micturating in the film — but a body double would have to do that for him."

oh and also pink floyd and magma were gonna do the music; floyd for atreides, magma for harkonnen.

A bunch of names synonymous with "difficult to work with prima donna geniuses" in the 1970s were improbably on-track to make a film adaptation of a famously difficult and tripped-out sci-fi book together, prompting idiot stoners everywhere to marvel at how good it could have been even though any finished product is nigh-guaranteed to have been an interesting failure at best.

He actually sums up the whole thing pretty well within the movie.

Lynch's Dune is 'good' in the theatrical cut. I mean, there's a lot of iconic imagery there and it's still david lynch, and there was some documentary about it a few years back that pretty thoroughly laid the shortcomings of that film on the hands of the De Laurentiis

The inner-monologues were probably the worst part of that movie. I really don't know what he was thinking there, for some one so good with imagery he instead decided to go with the lamest exposition method ever.

My favorite part of the whole documentary was when he's talking about Lynch's Dune. Something like "then I saw the movie, and it was horrible!" and he starts laughing with a childlike glee.
