Jodorowsky's Dune

Has anyone watched the documentary? A couple years ago, I read about the insanely ambitious project, and now there's a documentary about it. The documentary is phenomenal, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

About the movie attempt:

In 1973, film producer Arthur P. Jacobs optioned the film rights to Dune but died before a film could be developed. The option was then taken over two years later by director Alejandro Jodorowsky, who 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 and others for the cast.[2]

The documentary is a great watch for sure. I wish it could have been made, but having watched the documentary I can see some of the reasons why it fell through.

Its in my Netflix queue. I read Dune as a kid and the first heard Christian Vander's voice I immediately thought that was what the Baron Harkonen would sound like.
