Jodorowsky on Dune (1975)
"Alejandro Jodorowsky and Jean "Moebius" Giraud discuss the failed 1975 Dune project that was to have used the talents of HR Giger, Chris Foss, Dan O'Bannon, Pink Floyd and Salvador Dalí."
The problem was that the producer was a multimillionaire. The lesson of this experience is that one should never work with people who don't need to earn money with art because they can abandon a project just like that. For them, it's like an insect bite.
Also: Dan O'Bannon on Jodorowsky's Dune.
HR Giger: I am afraid of my visions.
Dan O'Bannon: It's only your mind.
HR Giger: That's what I am afraid of.
What might have been: Ridley Scott on Dune.
And then: David Lynch on Dune. He'd never heard of the book. Can't say I'm surprised.
