I just watched Jodorowsky's Dune, the documentary about the Dune movie that was never made, and i'm interested to hear what others think of it.
I felt like he would have butchered it! It looked awful. His modifications seemed to me to completely miss the point of the book. Paul dies? His spirit goes into all other people and they speak with his voice? The planet dune itself becomes lush and green and then travels through the universe touching other planets and then disappears?
Furthermore, having Mick Jagger and salvadore dali would have hugely detracted from the film, especially hearing the absurd demands of Dali.
Thank god it never got made. It would have ruined Dune for those who hadn't read it, and would have been a commercial disaster and set back science fiction movies by a decade.
...at least, that's my opinion.

>film should be a direct adaptation of the original source!! I can't understand how you could make a movie based on the universe of a book and still make a good film.
Way to spot a pleb.
And btw, if you knew jodorowski, he doesnt really care about the plot, and you shouldn't too
>2016
>falls for the Jodorowsky's Dune meme
>>7878041
it would've been one of the greatest movies of all time. everything jodorowsky touches turns into gold, like he's some kind of freaky alchemist or something . . .

Like the movie Dune that was actually made? Are you aware of it?
I fucking hate Jodoworsky and his tiny shriveled dick with a vengeance but at least he has artistic integrity and doesn't strive to make a word for word adaptation to please cinematically illiterate fanboys.
>>7878041
you are a pleb and an idiot
seriously, how can anyone dislike the idea of salvador dali as the emperor of mankind?
everything about the film oozed artistic vision and insanity
yes it likely wouldve been a huge flop but also a cult classic and would've likely had huge influence on all following sci-fi flicks and I dare to say that the world is a lesser place when it didn't get made
>>7878041
>and would have been a commercial disaster and set back science fiction movies by a decade.
jodos dune never even having been attempted would have set back sci-fi movies for two, it had a shitload of influence even though it never even was made
>>7878041
I think as an adaptation of Dune it would have failed tremendously, but as a science fiction movie in general it would have been something great.
Yeah nah. Would have sucked, contributed nothing, the one that was actually made was awful but still better than this, thank god was never made, Star Wars did much more for science fiction by proving it can be profitable, you're all morons.
I'm still waiting for this to exist as an animated feature. I think it can work. Do it now why Jodo is alive.

but this is a bad thing

That flew over OP's head
>>7878135
How can you set back a film genre?
>>7878117
I agree. I really wouldn't care if the movie was not faithful to the book; The movie would be a work of art with the work they put in pre-production. Of course, it would have its flaws, but I do believe it would be a masterpiece.
>>7878041
Dune was a horrible book and you should feel ashamed for your amount of interest in it.

I wouldn't say horrible, but definitely overrated.

Didnt star wars take lots of ideas from the moebius-illustrated dune script

that's "raping it with love", right there.

he wants to make a film called "Dune", but he wants to add his own elements. does that mean he wants to piggy-back on "Dune"s popularity while shoe-horning in his own pseudo-mystical bullshit? like "IMA LET YOU FINISH, FRANK, BUT PAUL ATREIDES SHOULD TOTALLY TAKE A SHIT IN THIS GIANT GLASS JAR AND TRANSMUTE IT TO GOLD TO PROVE THAT HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE"
Jodorowsky has any number of intellectual properties he could shit up - the Incal, the Madwoman of the Sacred Heart, the saga of Alandor, the story of Alef-Thau...
but, of course, nobody except me has ever heard of them. and nobody is going to give him money to make a film of the Saga of Alandor. but Dune... ah. Dune is prime for rape.
with love, of course.
>>7878519
This. There's no good reason to be faithful to a book that fucking blows.
>>7880727
>the Incal, the Madwoman of the Sacred Heart, the saga of Alandor, the story of Alef-Thau
All those came years after his attempt at Dune, and the first two happened precisely because he made it.
>nobody is going to give him money to make a film of the Saga of Alandor
Nobody gave him money to make Dune either; and even if they did, so what? If the film was good, what would it matter if it wasn't a good adaptation?
If the book is such a holy cow, why does it even need a movie?
>>7878041
>having Mick Jagger and salvadore dali would have hugely detracted from the film, especially hearing the absurd demands of Dali.
I think I might was this doco just to hear more about these two being involved.
>>7878058
upset that your adaptation was even worse Lynch?
