Jodorowsky's unmade 'Dune'

Holy Mountain and El Topo are two of my favourite films so excited to see that Jodorowsky's post Holy Mountain project, an adaptation of 'Dune', is finally getting its dues with its own documentary. From that collapsed project the makers went on to write Alien (Dan O'Bannon), design for Alien (Chris Foss and HR Giger) and Tron (Moebius). And after the poorly received 'Tusk' Jodorowsky went on to direct the incredible 'Santa Sangre.'

The story behind the unmade Dune (which predates Lynch's version) is very well documented here. And Jonathan Ross' excellent film about Jodorowsky is on youtube.
