Watched Jodorowsky’s Dune (2013), a documentary directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The documentary explains the ambitious and unsuccessful attempt to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune into a visionary film in the 70s. It explains his approach assembling a team of legendary artists like Salvador Dali, Pink Floyd, H.R. Giger. The film ultimately fails due to logistical and financial problems. What’s really interesting is the lasting influence this failed masterpiece had on modern science fiction cinema. This is an amazing documentary. Super interesting. Must watch. 8/10 #nodereviews

All the work Giger did on this was basically transferred into what we know as the iconic designs of Alien.

Yes. That’s the whole point of this documentary. Super interesting. All the work done on this was transferred to Alien, Dune, Star Wars, a lot of the great sci fi movies we know
