I was pretty familiar with him, but it was back in the time when you couldn’t see his movies. How were you first introduced to Jodorowsky’s work? Were you very familiar with him when you first found out about “Dune?”
Those are the things that drew me, that I found interesting. It’s cool, it’s wild, but I don’t know that those ideas got out there like the ideas that Jodorowsky had with “Dune.” They really permeated the history of the movies. Who was influenced by Kubrick’s “Napoleon?” I don’t know of anybody. I don’t know any examples besides this one. And then the fact that many projects die every day and every year, but how many don’t come to fruition but still go on to be so influential. It wasn’t something spoken about, it was actually something that was gonna happen. His team of artists was ready to go in front of the cameras. This was completely storyboarded, completely cast, musicians, everything. The beauty of Kubrick’s “Napoleon” was the research.
I think that this is the most fully realized. Why Jodorowsky’s “Dune” rather than Kubrick’s “Napoleon” or Coppola’s “Megalopolis?” There are so many unrealized projects that hold the public’s fascination. Sony Pictures Classics opens the film this Friday. Indiewire spoke with director Frank Pavich about the ongoing interest and influence of Jodorowsky’s “Dune,” and gathering the right voices to shed light on the project.
