In 1975, Alejandro Jodorowsky was set to follow EL TOPO and THE HOLY MOUNTAIN with an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic, Dune. Starring his 12-year-old son Brontis alongside Mick Jagger, Orson Welles, and Salvador Dalí, featuring music by Pink Floyd, VFX by Dan O’Bannon (ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL) and art by none other than H. R. Giger and Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud, Jodorowsky’s DUNE was poised to change the world. The problem? It wasn’t meant to be. Through interviews with artist H. R. Giger (ALIEN), producer Gary Kurtz (STAR WARS), and intimate revelations with the Chilean psychomagician and self-described “Cecil B. DeMille of the underground,” director Frank Pavich investigates the saga and influence of ‘The Greatest Movie Never Made’.
