Filed away in the annals of unrealized, ambitious cinematic epics, director Alexandro Jodorowsky's interpretation of Frank Herbert's science fantasy epic, DUNE, almost predated Star Wars as the 1970s' first big-budget space fantasy. But, of course, it was not to be. Blockaded by a combination of the director's imagination-run-amok instincts and throngs of fiscally conservative studio executives, Jordo's DUNE now lives only in the beautiful conceptual imagery of its brilliant designers (artist Moebius and HR Giger) and in the still-ebullient mind of director Jodorowsky, whose vivid, energetic recollections of the creative process continue to inspire, even if his visionary film never made it to the silver screen.
