Anecdotes
Hollywood studios would only let Alejandro Jodorowsky make the film provided that it would be 1h 50 mins long. Jodorowsky declined, reportedly stating that he wanted to make approximately a 15 hour long film. This is a common misconception- he never planned that the actual movie was going to be 15-20 hours, he made this statement in a fit of passion that his artistry would not be confined or compromised by a running time restriction (the studios were asking for 90-120 min running time for profit reasons) asserting that he will make the film as long as he wants it to be, and not because some suit wants more money. While the "Dune Book" being a massive tome; held a script, a full storyboard, and numerous conceptual designs and art work with a budget breakdown it's easy to assume and misconstrued that the finished product would have been over 12 hours.

Citations
Alejandro Jodorowsky: What is the goal of the life? It's to create yourself a soul. For me, movies are an art... more than an industry. And its the search of the human soul... as painting, as literature, as poetry. Movies are that for me.

Fascinating, inspiring, funny

This is the only movie I watched twice at the True/False film festival in Columbia, Missouri in 2014. I am a fan of Frank Herbert's Dune and was pulled into the epic mythos of this 1970s film that never was.

Although the story of this "failed" project is fascinating, it was Jodorowsky's passion and drive that made me pay to see this movie twice. This is an absolute must-see for sci-fi fans but should also be viewed by artists, writers, film makers, sculptures, dancers, foley artists or anyone who has creative passion.

It is inspiring to see a man, albeit a near lunatic, with such vision, scope and ambition.
