Years before the 1984 movie, indie director Alejandro Jodorowsky was set to make the first adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. He didn't read the book, but he knew the story and planned to do it his way. He was said to have gotten agreements from David Carradine to play Leto, Salvador Dali to play the emperor, Orson Wells as Baron Harkonnen, Mick Jagger as Feyd Rautha, Alain Delon as Duncan Idaho, etc. But it never got made because no American studio wanted to distribute it.

This short AI preview uses the actual design drawings by Moebius and HR Giger and others, so it's pretty spectacular.

Trippy... I can see why there are so many YouTube videos saying it's a good thing we never got his version... ::)

I dunno, Mick Jagger as Feyd Rautha would have been something to behold.

True, but he has stiff competition from Sting and Butler now... ;)

Dunno. I like the meta & historiography of SF. And had this movie gone forward, it might have been a weird interpretation of the novel, but it also would have been a commentary of society at the time, in the same way that the viewing experience of Zardoz & Barbarella are enhanced by viewing it through the meta of the times they were made in...
