The trailer for the 2014 documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, about director Alejandro Jodorowsky's unmade 1970s adaptation of Dune. It shows the artists he gathered for the project and how their work spread into later science fiction films.

HN people recommend the documentary as the story of an epic failure that still influenced the look of later sci-fi, aimed at fans of 70s and 80s science fiction.

“If you're a Dune fan, or a fan of 70's and 80's era sci-fi films, I highly recommend it.”

I also love Lynch's Dune. I've seen the extended version once a long time ago. From what I remember there was scenes of voiceovers and art explaining more of the universe and the houses and their relationships. Have you seen the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune"? If you're a Dune fan, or a fan of 70's and 80's era sci-fi films, I highly recommend it. What I found most interesting about that documentary is how the director created this amazing team to work on his Dune project, which eventually failed, but ended up influencing the style/art of so many subsequent Sci-fi films because that team dispersed and they worked on so many prominent films. ▶ this video link
