"Almost all the battles were won, but the war was lost,"Jodorowsky writes in an essay on his experience with the project. "The project was sabotaged in Hollywood. It was French and not American. Its message was not 'enough Hollywood.' There were intrigues, plundering. The story-board circulated among all the large studios. Later, the visual aspect of Star Wars resembled our style. To make Alien, they invited Moebius, Foss, Giger, O'Bannon, etc.," to say nothing of its traces visible in Blade Runner and The Matrix. While the 80+-year-old Jodorowsky has made a return to filmmaking in recent years, his Dune will most likely remain on the lists of the greatest movies never made. But its influence, if not its scale, will no doubt continue to manifest in generations of sci-fi cinema to come.

Dark Seed
(1992 Video Game)
Giger goes Adventure Gaming
14 April 2017
Dark Seed is a classic point-and-click adventure game which capitalizes on the drawings of famous horror designer H. R. Giger as a source of background artwork and inspiration. The adventure genre was perfect for his brooding, dark artwork, and with all kinds of new genres and styles of games emerging in the years since Dark Seed, you'd think somebody could find room somewhere for one of the 20th centuries most iconic and influential popular artists.
