What's left behind the scenes
- Hollywood studios agreed to hire Alejandro Jodorowsky as the director of the 'Dune' adaptation (1963-1965) only on the condition that the film would be no longer than 1 hour and 50 minutes. Jodorowsky himself insisted the film would be around 15 hours long.
- Alejandro Jodorowsky planned to film "Dune" as early as the 1970s. The artistic design was created by artist Jean Giraud, the set design by H.R. Giger. Salvador Dalí agreed to play the role of the Padishah Emperor. The director intended to cast his son Brontis as Paul, David Carradine as Count Leto, Orson Welles as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, and Gloria Swanson as the Reverend Mother. An agreement was reached with Pink Floyd (music for the scenes of House Atreides) and Magma (for House Harkonnen) to write the soundtrack. As Jodorowsky himself later stated: "The project was sabotaged in Hollywood. It would have been French, not American – not 'Hollywood' enough. And then a blatant robbery began. Our storyboard circulated among all the major studios. Giraud, artist and illustrator Chris Foss, Giger, our screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, and others were involved in working on the film "Alien". Our project convinced the Americans that it was possible to make solid science fiction outside the framework of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". Work on "Dune" changed a lot."
