Just the title is evocative.
The work done byAliengiants H.R.
Giger and Dan OBannon.
The storyboards by Jean Moebius Giraud.
The soundtrack by Pink Floyd.
The cast that would have included Mick Jagger, Orson Welles, and Salvadore Dali.
Its the much more that ultimately makesJodorwoskys Dunesuch a special experience.
Legendary comic book artist, Jean Moebius Giraud was assigned to design and storyboard much ofDune.
Nearly 1,000 pages worth.
Every viewing ofJodorowskys Dunewill create an appetite for collectors and completists to possess and pore over this tome.
The film raises the question of whetherDune, as conceived by Frank Herbert, is really filmable at all.
Jodorowsky himself repeatedly admits that he never even read the book.
Some terrifying performance-rock from their fellow 70s progsters Magma?
Thats here, too.
Salvador Dali demanding a burning giraffe appear on screen with him during his performance as the Emperor?
Why the hell not, right?
