Was Jodorowsky’s ‘Dune’ the Great Unmade Sci-Fi Epic of the 1970s? | by Chris Barsanti | Eyes Wide Open | Medium
March 16, 2024 - In 1974, Jodorowsky had come off a double-whammy of underground cinematic smashes. His midnight classics El Topo and The Holy Mountain slurried together religious, mythical, and genre iconography with a healthy lashing of sex, violence, and ...

r/dune on Reddit: Just watched Dune (1984) for the first time and...... WTF?????
September 4, 2021 -

Preparing for the new dune movie, I decided to watch lynch's, and man....wtf is that??? Why is it so bad?

I never understood the hype over Lynch, and after this movie I still do not understand ahahah

Man, the acting is terrible, the visual effects seems badly finished (considering that star Wars is almost a decade older).

Why so many things were changed from the books? Wtf with the pugs and french bulldogs with the Atreides? The costumes are bizarre! Milking a cat for the antidote?????????? Controlling worms with his mind??? The guns that shoot with sound???????? Baron's death!!!! Oh my god

I also feel that Paul development as Muadib does not make any sense.. it is too fast and does not develop him as a powerfull leader.

The best thing for me was the soundtrack. I was hyped when I saw toto on the initial credits.

Really, I cannot understand what happened for this movie to be produced. How Herbert, still alive at the time, abide to the final product? Does anyone have information about this? Also, what is you opinion about this movie?

December 14, 1984 - There is no way in the world that they could have possible adapted this epic story in a any good way within 2 hours film. It's like making Lord Of The Rings adaptation with 1 h 45 min run time. "Dune" (1984) has great costumes, good set design, desert scenes do look impressive.

Is Jodorowsky’s Dune the greatest film never made?
March 14, 2019 - As bamboozling as they were, El Topo and The Holy Mountain were so profitable that a French producer, Michel Seydoux, contacted Jodorowsky in 1974 and offered to fund whichever film he fancied making next. Jodorowsky chose a science-fiction novel, Dune.
