7/10
great looking book
23 December 2021
In 1974, Alejandro Jodorowsky is tasked with directing Dune. He would recruit big names from the past and new talents of the future to form a creative team to produce a giant artistic book. It's too bad that Dan O'Bannon died before the filming of this film. On the other hand, it's great to hear from H. R. Giger. They produced a fascinating book. I kept thinking if it's available for purchase. I doubt it very much since it would probably be covered by the novel's copyright. Stories about great projects getting shelved are a dime a dozen. The most interesting aspect of this Hollywood story is that it brought a few important people together. Most importantly, it brought Giger to Hollywood. Jodorowsky is definitely an outside-the-box thinker and this is very nice look into his mind. Seven for the film but ten for the book.
