You know he actually got Orson Wells to play the Baron?
Yup.
Isn't Jodorowsky the Incal guy?
he pulled it off by meeting him in a restaurant and just telling him straight "if you do this role for me, I'll hire the chef of this place to cook all of your meals"
Didn't Jodorowsky collaborate with Moebius for The Incal?
Oh jeeziz
not ringing a bell
but suffice to say the project and the man were just ahead of their time
no studio would take them on, they were fuck-scared of him
In other words they were using psychedelics
of course nowadays studios will just let fucking anything happen
Moebius. French comic artist. He worked on The Incal with Alejandro Jodorowsky. The Incal is one of the main inspirations behind the Fifth Element.
ah, well there you go
yeah, imagine fifth element production resources and studios behind a dune production
Yeah, imagine...
Need new stories. Everything is a remake
I want a shade's children movie god damn it
I wouldn't mind it as an Adult Swim series, if I'm to be honest.
Cannot reinvent the wheel. I understand that Dune might well be good candidate for rehaul
New stories? OK. Read a lot, then throw all your influences together into one big pot, and make a stew.
Constantine show needs to come back, too
I reckon next big thing will be GRRM "WildCards" and TV adaptation of Joe Abercombie First Law Trilogy
no fucking reason that should have been cancelled
I was more of a rhetorical observation
Star Wars = Flash Gordon + Buck Rogers + Foundation + Lensman + Dune + Campbell's monomyth + John Carter of Mars + several other things besides.
Famou for its 'originality'.
You see my point about influences?
with some Japanese and WW2 influences
Yes thankyou for the explanation of an amalgamative process
That too. Forgot about the Kurosawa stuff. Sorry.
Darth Vader being based on a Samurai, for instance
they mention that in a movie
not sure the name of it tho
because it involves some kid who shrinks down to the size of a bug (and enters some magical world?) via telescope or some shit
Yes. C3PO and R2D2 are based on the bickering peasants from Hidden Fortress.
ah right, found the series
the movie in particular
