Artwork by H.R. Giger designed for a film that was never made is on display in Jodorowsky's Dune.

The 2013 documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune looks at cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky (Santa Sangre) and his ambitious attempts in the late Seventies to direct a feature film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s futuristic best-selling novel Dune.

An auteur whose midnight movie classics El Topo and The Holy Mountain captivated enthusiastic audiences, Jodorowsky, in 1975, set his sights bring Dune to the screen.  Starring his own 12-year-old son alongside Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and Salvador Dali, featuring music by Pink Floyd and art by some of the most provocative talents of the era, including the late artists H.R. Giger and Jean “Moebius” Giraud, Jodorowsky’s adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel Dune was poised to make serious impression on cinephiles and sci-fi fans. Although Jodorowsky’s dreams were never realized–Dune was ultimately made by David Lynch in 1984–the story of Jodorowsky’s work on the project lives on!

In making Jodorowsky’s Dune, Jodorowsky granted director Frank Pavich access to his production materials on the ill-fated project, including the extraordinary hard-bound book of meticulous story boards, which Jodorowsky used as a “calling card” to pitch his film to Hollywood studios. Jodorowsky also provides candid and comprehensive interviews about his ambitious screenplay, and his global search for a stellar cast and crew to bring his vision to the screen.

The winner of the Audience Award and Best Documentary at the 2013 Fantastic Fest, the PG-13-rated Jodorowsky’s Dune–the subject of which is often referred to as “The Greatest Science Fiction Movie Never Made”–arrives in a Blu-ray/DVD Combo edition that includes more than 45 minutes of deleted scenes as a bonus feature.
