Jodorowsky's Dune is a documentary directed by Frank Pavich that explores cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ambitious, surreal, and ultimately unproduced attempt to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune in the 1970s. Through interviews, concept art, and storyboards, the film reveals how Jodorowsky assembled a dream team of visionary artists and thinkers—including H.R. Giger, Moebius, and Pink Floyd—to create a sci-fi epic unlike anything the world had seen. Though the film was never made, its influence echoes through decades of science fiction cinema.

Jodorowsky’s proposed cast included Salvador Dalí, Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, and his own son, who trained for two years to play Paul Atreides.
The soundtrack was to be composed by Pink Floyd and French progressive rock band Magma, with different themes for each planet.
The project’s massive “Dune Bible,” containing storyboards, costume designs, and world-building, was sent to major studios—but none would finance the film.
Though never filmed, the project heavily influenced later works like Alien, Blade Runner, and even Star Wars, thanks to the creatives who carried its DNA into other projects.
The documentary became a festival hit and cult favorite, praised for celebrating unrestrained artistic ambition and the beauty of imagination, even in failure.
