Frank Herbert's Dune — Jodorowsky

Did you see the documenatry? That movie would have sucked. He litterally stated he wanted to rape the source material.

Ridley scott had the right at one time but gave it up because his brother died and he did want to direct for a while. THAT Iwanna se

I wanna see han solo played by clint eastwood

It would have been great because he would rape the source material. Why would you do a faithful adaption of the source material when you can just view the source material as it is? If you vary from it, then it gives the option to enjoy both pieces for their own merits (see: Starship Troopers)

Nah.

Fuck, that's a good point. idk then

George A. Romero's Resident Evil.
That script is a special kind of cheese. I trust Romero more than I trust half of my own family.

The Yiddish Policemen's Union had Orson Welles's Heart of Darkness.

But we have Barry Lyndon

Barry Lyndon is probably better than what Napoleon would have been.

Yeah, Napoleon would've been an amazing film, but Barry Lyndon's emotional depth would not have been matched, as well as the playfulness of the storytelling -- e.g. the unreliable narrator.

terry gilliam's don quixote

Would've been shit due to Depp, anyway.

Darren Aronofsky's Robocop

...

Would've been lacking the Verhoeven sense of humour, but it would've been a damn sign better than something someone like that hack Nolan would've pulled off.

A buddy cop movie where Buster Keaton plays the veteran detective and he has to train Charlie Chaplin. They have to stop a crime spree committed by The Marx Brothers. Oliver Hardy plays the chief and Stan Laurel is his bumbling lieutenant. Abbott and Costello play beat cops in a couple of scenes.

Jesus wept.

Sergio Leone Film

Yes but jodorowsky is a psuedo intellectual tosser. His movies are empty imagery on a backdrop of autofellatio. Ridley Scott would have been able to preserve what we liked about dune without reducing his role to transciption.

I wanna live in the universe were clint eastwood played han solo.

>Leone was going to make a film about siege of Leningrad

Fuck.

Goddamnit

Has there ever been a good Leningrad film?

this thread is pain

fuck you guys

...

Any of the three deals with varying Television companies to record the performances of the D'Oyly Carte going through. Just so we know exactly what their performance practices looked like, as opposed to just sounded like.

also have you seen the 1939 technicolor version of The Mikado? It's glorious, Criterion has recently released a reasonably cleaned up version on Blu-Ray, including the deleted "little list" song with the infamous Hitler reference. At least we got legendary actors Sydney Granville and Martyn Green on film. Color film, no less.

Oh yeah, I got it almost immediately, absolutely loved it. Far better than the 1966 film, though I enjoy that one too simply because it has a full D'OC cast and sticks to the beautiful costumes a bit better.

I still have yet to see the 1973 Pinafore though, though I have some BBC Radio recordings of all the full operas with Peter Pratt.

Guillermo would've been neat too.

>1973 Pinafore
was this a D'Oyly Carte production that was filmed or something?

Go away del Taco, nobody likes you.

okay.jpg

Yeah, here's a clip from it, far better filming from the 1966 Mikado.

youtube.com/watch?v=-kiLApX8FbQ

The guy's channel used to have more clips, like a bit of "Never mind the Why and Wherefore" From the same production, but they were taken down by some company.

I do not know if this has ever been reissued to DVD, I don't think it has, though I believe there were some VHS copies floating around on eBay and Amazon.

From what I've just been reading up it doesn't seem really worth it, the performances apparently are nothing to write home about, and the company was in decadence by that time. From the clip the scenery doesn't seem too different from the Opera Australia version that is available on DVD, which is however an excellent performance in front of a live audience.

>no George Romero's Resident Evil.
>no Gibson's Viking epic.
>no Scorsese's Silence, Sinatra biopic, or Dino
>no Altman's Hands on a Hard Body
>no FFC's Pinocchio, On the Road adaptation, Megalopolis.
>no Fincher's Rendezvous With Rama
>no Carruth's Topiary, The Modern Ocean
>no GdT's At The Mountains Of Madness, Hellboy 3
>no Alex Garland's Halo
>no the Tourist

That's all true, I guess my interest always lies more in historical preservation.

Part of me wonders if the BBC will ever take a page from American network's books these days and decide to do a sort of Gilbert and Sullivan Live! broadcast akin to how we got things like Sound of Music, Grease, and the Wiz!

Meh. G&S is dead, just like opera is dead, it only lives on as a sort of living museum. The only interest I'd have would be in productions that try to recreate as closely as possible the original D'Oyly Carte productions.

The greatest film never made

>no Scorsese's Silence
It's coming out this year

>Paul is killed off
>The planet comes to life and starts having oceans and lush plant life
>They were going to spend half the budget on Orson Welles' wine
>Salvador Dalí was demanding a ridiculous amount of pay to be in like two scenes

The film was a disaster waiting to happen. And the ending is somehow WORSE than the Lynch version. I know Jodorowsky maintains that the film wasn't Frank Herbert's vision but his own, but the producers I feel were right in sensing that he was a liability. I love the guy and respect that he wanted to make his dream film, and to be honest it sounded like it'd have been my dream film too, but I'd imagine he'd have struggled just as much as Lynch did.

haha sure it is lad!

fuck

STARRY STARRY NIIGHT

Am I happy in the "prime universe"? Because I'm not in this simulation.

What ever happened to that movie from the 90s where Sinbad played a Genie? I remember it being breddy gud

Holy shit yes please. There is no visual work to use as a baseline, makes getting into the old operetta of the golden age a difficult task when you are forced to start with some modern interpretation.

At least we have the music.

>aronofsky didn't direct Wolverine in this simulation

And thus, cape-kino was never invented.

It's dead because the Arts Council killed it. They give money to straight up pornography but refused to give a small sum to the source of what was England's biggest musical export before the Beatles? It's ridiculous. I'm not suggesting that the D'OC not dying would have saved an entire artform (Opera) but it would have definitely been better than what happened.

Speaking of, have these three vintage GnS recordings, all from the 20s using D'OC golden age performers (Henry Lytton, Leo Sheffield, Winifred Lawson etc.)

Thanks for the download, you are indeed my nigger.

Anyone else have a favorite modern recording? I am really partial to the G&S Houston's Pinafore. Not fond of their Pirates though, my favorite still this D'Oyly that I cannot date or cast.

play.spotify.com/album/4zjSih9szxmOlGiykUUhqp

Anyone recognize it?

That's definitely the 1950's Pirates with Martyn Green as Major General Stanley and Leonard Osborn as Frederic.

Martyn Green is probably the best man in any of the patter roles put to record, though Leonard Osborn comes of abysmally in the monaural recordings, and what not much of a tenor anyway. He was a chemist before he became an opera singer, actually!

As for modern recordings, I quite like the Ohio Light Opera Sorcerer as well as the New D'Oyly Carte Iolanthe.

Thanks for clearing it up, I am pretty new to G&S anyway. I mostly just chose it over how my favorite songs were sung, mostly the female cast and Martyn Green.

I'll look into your recommendations. Christ surprising to find so many operetta fans on a Welsh dragon-slaying forum.

Satoshi Kon deathbed work Dreamin Machine

Wasn't that going to be finished post mortem? What happened?

it would be a shit adaptation, but a pretty good/interesting movie

only super faggots who cry for the book would get mad

If he'd wound up doing Indy it would have been hilarious

Did you not hear? He's making it now.

Viking one is happening soon, he never stopped working on it, just had to delay it because of the bad publicity he was in.

Lack of funding.

Amazon is funding it now

As I understand it, Gilliam is working on it as we speak. New cast (obv).

I'd love to see Welles' version of The Magnificent Ambersons.

...

Chris Cunningham's adaptation of Neuromancer.

>I'd love to see Welles' version of The Magnificent Ambersons.

Also, the 8 hours uncut version of Erich von Stroheim's Greed.

Not One but Three Arnie movies never got made.
>The Crusades directed by Paul Verhoven
>I Am Legend directed by Ridley Scott
>King Conan directed by The Wachowski Brothers (before they became sisters)

With Hathaway and Von Trier?

I so would watch this.
