Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune (Part 2) - Unmade Masterpieces 

It would've lacked the scope as an animated film. The film's incredible nature is defined by being so bizarre yet being in the realm of live action. In the realm on animation those kinds of visuals become much less impressive, almost par for the course.

Jodorowsky himself said the same thing. Could be cool

Start the petition now.Get this made as an animated series. I would sell my house for one of Jodowasky Dune books.

@@simoncarlile1965 lmao I ain't starting no damn petition

By the end of 1974, when Jodorowsky moved in Paris to start working on Dune, you could see in the streets of the french capital posters with the gigantic blue heads and red eyes of the Draags from Alain Topor & René Laloux's animated film "la Planète Sauvage". A movie that's not less imaginative than anything Jodorowsky could have made.

It's not even a gem though is it, it's the idea of a gem.

That's just amazing.

How good would Dune have been? Can you tell me pleease?. I think it would’ve been the greatest movie of all time

Bien khaifa?

but what if it succeeded?

Lol you just have no creative vision, or are all too content to dwell in what is conventional and established. It being 12 hours, having those people in it, the incredible visuals all would have contributed to making it something completely beyond normal films. Flopping wouldn't matter, what matters is that the film gets made. That alone is worth far, far more than garbage like Star Wars and Alien (okay the latter isn't garbage, but it is severely overrated). This movie's potential value far exceeds the films we got.

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Alien is good

It is better that he didn't make it because he would have destroyed the original plot with all his psychedelic obsessions and he would have made impossible for any other director to make Dune into something watchable. Dune books are complicated by themselves. They didn't need any extra additions or alterations on their plot. I think that what Dune needs is to be made into a TV series in the style of Game of Thrones ( I mean the same production standards) and not into a movie franchise like it was recently done. And that because films have limitations on their duration and their budget. I'm not saying that the recent movie wasn't good . I'm just saying that even in this film that is up until now the most faithful adaptation of the books' original plot and into the mood of the books, they had to leave things out because they couldn't include them into one single film. And even though they've cut out a load of sub plots they managed to cover just the first half of the first book. Dune needs desperately to become a series and Denis Villeneuve to reconsider the filming of a second film and turn it into a series. To use the film as a pilot and release the rest a TV series with a very high budget and the same cast and crew.

@@creativecolours2022 No this Dune is better, I want psychedelic

Kind of interesting part 1 has like 3 times more views than this one even though this one is the one that actually discusses the subject

Jodorowsky says in the movie that he removed the dune connections, changed names and made it as a graphic novel.

Doesn't matter. Commercial success or not the film would've been a masterpiece whose value exceeds all the other films we got instead put together. Sorry buddy but Alien and Star Wars aren't anywhere near this level.

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Yes it does matter, because if a film studio goes bust then it can't make other films.

I think you're right! The more I hear about this production, the more it sounds like a self-indulgent mess. Casting his own son as Paul? Inventing deliberate $#!+ scenes? Huge fight scenes with no narrative development? Sounds awful.

How is that an unpopular opinion? Everyone is saying that.

Exactly!! Something along the lines of "Heavy Metal", only waay more trippier.

Dune written by Jodo and directed by Gilliam would have gotten made.

It has.

Yes. It’s also excellent.

No it would've been the greatest film ever made, and it would've exceeded Frank Herbert's original story in quality

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Have you read the books?

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 please stfu, you’re probably just a snob “film lover” who thinks his opinion on indie crap is much better than anyone’s opinion on anything.

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 I agree

Me too, I want that ... is it some Tangerine Dream?

Are you a stalker, dude?

Every few months i check to see if anyone has the answer 😩

@@BlastinRope It's "Armonías del Sol" by Desierto De Armonia

I don't think it really had any influence on the Lynch Film

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 In the years since I made this post, I have realized this. This is a Dune-inspired short film I made ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VO_sLCHcN4o.htmlsi=6_hmWkDVEJoYVdcS

What's the point of a literal adaptation when the book exists?

@@JafuetTheSame Sometimes an adaptation can improve on elements that didn't translate well on paper. Plus, people want to see a director's interpretation of the story not just using the name alone to market your own story. Aswell as seeing the story elements done visually is a prime reason.

@@chrisclarke4665 yeah, interpretation. that's what jodorowsky did, didn't he?...and i wouldn't use the word marketing in the same sentence with jodorowsky really. we have better and more apparent examples today of caring more about marketing than the actual source material...cant wrap my head around why his attempt could be causing any hostility when his admiration for the source is obvious even to herbert himself. i see no mistreatment and i've read the book, 1 sequel and saw nearly all the media containing dune universe

@@JafuetTheSame No it was only Dune in name only. Basically, he only obtained the IP in promoting his own ideas/ story. Based on the early drafts, outside of Paul and the sandworms there were no other characters from the book represented in the film. Most of what he was doing was deemed unfilmable anyway as he wanted to mash up elements of Superman (Krypton elements) and Star Wars into it so we can't tell for sure what was going to remain in it. That's why he used his draft as a completely new idea in a comic called The Incal.

I agree.

It seems to have influenced "Rick & Morty" nonetheless.

I liked it, the theatre almost reminds me of something out of spongebob

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 First Rick and Morty and now Spongebob! Frank Herbert will be turning in his grave!!

@@martinharris5017 Well maybe the rick and morty bit but I think spongebob concept art is quite interesting, especially from the videogame battle for bikini bottom with all the tiki artwork and underwater themes, I think it has a very appreciable aesthetic actually. If I were going to make a spongebob film I'd fire all the voice actors and replace them with people who sounded nothing like the originals and have it be some epic quest that's 10 hours long, and have spongebob give speeches on the nature of humanity. Nevertheless I think as good as Frank Herbert's Dune was Jodo's would've surpassed it.

Would've been very cool

Hell yeah

I have to see it first.

Will be woke

Doesn't look like it'll be that good but you never know. Sets and the general look of the film are pretty bad.

animated movie?

I think there's some statements saying he did, I think he supposedly thought it was a stupid idea that Leto was castrated, and I heard something about him saying it "wouldn't have turned out too well" but I don't know the specifics.

yeah, I'm glad the others had.

sounds wonderful
