The amazing Richard Kadrey (Sandman Slim) tweeted about an earlier attempt to make Frank Herbert’s Dune novel into a film.  I was only aware of the 1984 film by David Lynch, which Kadrey describes as “a glorious mess”.  Personally, I’m a fan of the movie, but it’s not a top ten for me, despite the epic source material.  It seems, however, that the earlier attempt by Alejandro Jadorowsky (which was started and dismantled in the mid 70’s) would have been something else altogether – with help from Orson Welles, H.R. Giger, Salvador Dali and Pink Floyd.

OMFG!!!
