Dunno bout Jodo's health, but I think HE COULD still do it. He has everything in place, and Moebius is still around. Orson Welles and Dali aren't, but he could find someone else. Plus, with CGI, he could do it at a fraction of the cost that would have been incurred if he had done it in the 70s. He would only have to agree to work with CGI, not insist on life-size spaceship props etc. I think with today's technology he could pursue his dream to the fullest.

This film may have been very interesting as an original work but I'm very happy it didn't happen as an adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. It is so ridiculously far removed from Herbert's vision it should never be called "Dune". "Hill Made Of Sand" perhaps, but not "Dune"

6:05 So he was going to be Gurney Halleck, eh?

I think these guys should get together and make a 'Megaman' movie. That movie would kick righteous ass!

If this film had been made it would of been easily one of the best films ever created. Jodorowsky, Giger, Dali, Orson welles, and Moebius. You couldnt of gone wrong with this line up

jodo is an artistic genius. we should just erase lynch's dune and the miniseries from our minds and let him bring his own version to the screen, an immortal version.

@14NSBM88 Instead of Incal and the metabarons saga? are you crazy, that comics are so good as Dune

[ROTTERDXM]

@miljenko1 I agree, he COULD still do it. The movie project itself, however, has served its purpose. All those involved grew and learned from it, and they touched many others who touched many others still... so even though it was never actually finished, it has had a real, tangible impact on this world and the people in it. :)

@Johnlindsey289 The only reason why David Lynch's film bombed because he was forced to cut so much from it. It wasn't his fault AT ALL.

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

In fact the metabaron saga is his take On his work On Dune but adapted to a new story

[14NSBM88]

Why didn't he made Dune comic book when he alredy had the sketches, the screenplay, the rights and comic book artist? He should do that, instead of Incal and similar stuff...

People who think this should be made today with CGI are missing the point. Go and actually watch "El Topo" and "Holy Mountain". Before you go on about what you can do with CGI, take a good look at what you can do with the REAL. Most modern CGI-feasts are dull and ugly as hell compared to what guys like Jodorowsky put out in the 70s.
