This doc was wild, I randomly saw it torrenting and I ended up watching the Holy Mountain and shit. What a maniac
I absolutely love the aesthetic of this version, shame it was never made
Baron Harkonnen is a big, big monster who have anti-gravitational implants and he is in the air all the time because he is too, too heavy. Orson Welles. Orson Welles had a bad reputation because they said that he liked to drink and eat so much that he ate at the movies. He ate a lot, and then he did not finish the movies, he was moody. But I said, "No, Orson Welles is a genius, he is the one." And since he liked to eat they say he goes to the gastronomic restaurants in Paris. Therefore, I sent a secretary to ask in all the gastronomic restaurants in Paris: "Where does Orson Welles eat?" And we discovered a restaurant and then he was eating. Six bottles of wine. He was eating. And then I asked to the chef "What is the best wine he want?" He say, "That." Then, "Send him a bottle." And then, he drink the bottle and he want to speak to me. And then, I speak with all the respect, because was for me was an idol. He say, " I don't want to do it. I don't want any more." I say to him, "I will propose something. If you do the picture, even if we pay what you want as an actor, I will hire the chef of this restaurant and you will eat, as here, every day." And he say, "I do it."
I wanted Mick Jagger to play Feyd-Rautha, a character. How am I going to contact this person who is not going to be impressed that I have the great power to make a movie? He is in the peak of his fame, of his glory. How? And I was invited to an event in Paris. It was a big gathering of the Parisian bourgeoisie and at the other side of the room, a big room, I don't know, maybe 150 square meters, was Mick Jagger. I saw him from a distance and I think he saw me and I saw him walking, he started walking. He started walking between the people and I then realized that he was coming to me. He crossed the room and he stood in front of me. And I told him, "I want you for my movie." And he said only one word, "Yes."
Lol. I'd love to see some buddy cop style movie with this guy and Lynch. Trying to solve the case of where all the budget went
