H.R. Giger, Jean “Moebius” Giraud, Chris Foss, Orson Welles, Salvador Dalí, Mick Jagger and Pink Floyd were among the extraordinary artists and collaborators involved in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s legendary attempt to bring Frank Herbert’s Dune to the screen in the mid-1970s.
Jodorowsky’s Dune is a 2013 documentary directed by Frank Pavich about the making — and ultimate failure — of what was intended to become one of the most ambitious science-fiction films ever conceived.
Jodorowsky, the Chilean filmmaker behind El Topo and The Holy Mountain, spent years assembling an extraordinary creative team. H.R. Giger was brought in to develop the dark, biomechanical visual world of the film, while Moebius created hundreds of storyboard drawings, Chris Foss designed spacecraft and environments, and Dan O’Bannon worked on the screenplay and special effects.
The planned cast was equally extraordinary: Orson Welles, Salvador Dalí, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and Jodorowsky’s own young son were all associated with the project. Pink Floyd was approached to provide the music.
The film itself was never made. Jodorowsky and his team spent years developing the project, producing an enormous visual and conceptual blueprint for a movie that ultimately proved too ambitious and expensive to finance. Although the production collapsed, its ideas and artists went on to influence some of the most important science-fiction films of the following decades, including Alien, Star Wars and Blade Runner.
The documentary reconstructs this extraordinary unrealized project through interviews, concept art, storyboards and Jodorowsky’s own recollections. Rather than simply presenting the project as a failure, it examines how a film that was never shot nevertheless had a lasting impact on the history of cinema.
It is, in that sense, the story of “the greatest movie never made.”

Alien 1 and 2 were masterpieces. Everything that came after was pure garbage. You both can generate a new installment in about three years!
