Ray Shoesmith has a curious take on morality. The acting is superb, his side kick Gary is a hilarious hot mess.

Just got back from Dune. I thought it was really well done, but I can see how a book could be even better (Iâve never read it). It did feel a bit like an inherently detailed thing from which a good deal of the detail had (necessarily) been extracted. And Iâm with those who felt the lead man was on the lightweight side. Then again, one of the other characters makes a joke about that on screen in the first 5 minutes. Iâd happily watch it again and Iâm looking forward to the next one.

Already recording three other things at the same time so that got the bumâs rush 
Wow. Iâd never heard of it. This from the Wiki article:
Salvador DalĂ was set to play the Emperor and claimed he wanted to be the highest-paid actor in Hollywood history. He asked for $100,000 per hour to act in the movie. Jodorowsky proposed to pay him $100,000 per minute, but then reduced the Emperorâs scenes so that DalĂ would be needed for no more than 3 to 5 minutes with the rest of his lines spoken by a robotic lookalike; DalĂ consented in exchange for being allowed to keep the âdollâ Emperor for his museum.
Jodorowskyâs refusal to compromise on Duneâ s running time was one main reason the film did not get made. Hollywood did not want the filmâs length to exceed two hours. Jodorowsky felt 10 to 14 hours would be more appropriate for the adaptation.

The ambition involved in putting together the team of designers & artists who worked the project up into a form that could be presented to Hollywoodâs money men was just extraordinary. As was the subsequent influence the people involved then took to other film projects from Star Wars to Alien to Blade Runner, the Matrix etc etc.
Dan O Bannon, HR Giger, Moebius, Chris Foss, Pink Floyd, Magma, and besides Dali he had Orson Welles & David Carradine lined up and had wanted to involve Mick Jagger
It couldâve been stunning but Hollywood werenât brave enough. Instead there was the Lynch version.

It would have been a total mess, not convinced at all it would have actually been a good film
We are however getting an Incal movie so who knows

It probably needed to be made into a 12 X 1 hour TV series (like Game of Thrones or similar) but the platforms on which such a venture could be shown didnât exist then and certainly not with the budget it would have needed.
Ad Astra.
But replaced it with a onda?
