Its truly one of the wildest stories very few people know about. He (very seriously) planned for it to star: Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, and... Jodorowsky's 12 year old son playing Paul. With music by Pink Floyd (post-Dark Side). This was not pie-in-the-sky dreaming; he met with all of these people, and they all agreed. Planning for a 14 hour movie, they ultimately gave up due to the budget being "short by $5M" (adjusted for inflation: ~$15M). Though by the end of the documentary, you'll definitely arrive at the conclusion that it wouldn't just be another $5M, and the project had so many problems beyond money; it is interesting to think about how Dune (2021)'s budget came in at ~$165M. We missed out on something truly unique for sure; probably an acid-fueled fever dream, but I totally understand why some people have an obsession with the work Jodorowsky put into the adaptation, and would pay to own a piece of that history.
