I offer Tor's contrary opinion [1] about Jodorowsky's Dune adaptation. Another comment in this thread is correct: he was not even closely faithful to the original Herbert story. There are good reasons that no one wants to finance a project as big as Dune for someone as mainstream controversial/unstable as Jodorowsky. His nuttiness might play well to an art house crowd, but there is no way you would ever get your money back for a mainstream film done by him, and for the lavishness of his vision of Dune, the size of the bankroll requires a mainstream audience to pencil out the numbers. In my linked article, there was a great comment about him: the dude rolled a natural 20 on charisma. But he's off the charts weird would be the kindest characterization. There are far more malign and dark claims made about him that you can search up on him on the Net, but none substantiated enough to land him behind bars to date. Though that one screen-capped tweet in the comments alone makes him pretty odious to my sensibilities. The descriptions of him sounds like a sociopath to me personally, but I don't know the guy so I can't tell what is really going on. Other than I wouldn't bank a wooden nickel on him.
