The Dune that could have been..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodorowsky's_Dune

In 1973 film producer Arthur P. Jacobs optioned the film rights to Dune but died before a film could be developed. The option was taken over two years later by director Alejandro Jodorowsky, who (along with producer Michel Seydoux) proceeded to approach, among others, Virgin Records with the prog rock groups Tangerine Dream, Gong and Mike Oldfield before settling on Pink Floyd and Magma for some of the music; artists H. R. Giger, Chris Foss and Jean Giraud for set and character design; Dan O'Bannon for special effects; and Salvador Dalí, Orson Welles, Gloria Swanson, David Carradine, Mick Jagger, Udo Kier, Amanda Lear and others for the cast.[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodorowsky%27s_Dune#cite_note-Metal_Hurlant-3"][3][/URL] Jodorowsky intended for his son Brontis, 12 years old at the start of pre-production, to star as Paul Atreides.
