Overview: After Dune’s initial success, producers began attempting to adapt it. The film rights reverted to Frank Herbert in 1974, when the option was acquired by a French consortium led by Jean-Paul Gibon, with Alejandro Jodorowsky attached to direct. Jodorowsky proceeded to approach, among others, the progressive rock groups Pink Floyd and Magma for some of the music, Dan O’Bannon for the visual effects and artists H. R. Giger, Jean Moebius Giraud and Chris Foss for set and character design. The project was ultimately scrapped for several reasons, largely because funding dried up when the project ballooned to a 10-14 hour epic.
Although their version of the film never reached production, the work that Jodorowsky and his team put into Dune did have a significant impact on subsequent science-fiction films. Alien, written by O’Bannon, shared much of the same creative team for the visual design as had been assembled for Jodorowsky’s film. A documentary, Jodorowsky’s Dune, was made about Jodorowsky’s failed attempt at an adaptation.
