Read some interesting news today. Marilyn Manson and his wife were married by cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky. So your probably saying who the hell is that, right? Jodorowsky is an absolute madman. He is a genius of the bizarre...and I mean bizarre. His most famous films El Topo and The Holy Mountain are the most strangest films I have ever seen.

I guess it is very fitting for him to marry one of the strangest people of our generation. It has been rumored for years that he has been seeking Manson for a sequel to his film El Topo called Son of El Topo. Jodorowsky was even supposed to originally film the cult classic Dune, in the 70s but it fell through. Below is a pre-production flyer and a little bit about what ended up happening with the project.

Jodorowsky had originally planned on filming Dune in the early-'70s, and had enlisted the help of Jean Giraud and H.R. Giger to create the movie's visual style. Salvador Dali­ was enlisted to play the part of the Emperor, and Jodorowsky also intended to cast his own son Brontis Jodorowsky as Paul, David Carradine as Duke Leto, Orson Welles as the Baron, and Gloria Swanson as the Benne Geserit Reverend Mother. The soundtrack was to be done by Pink Floyd.

According to Jodorowsky, "The project was sabotaged in Hollywood. It was French and not American. Their message was 'not Hollywood enough'. The storyboard was circulated among all the big studios. Later, the visual aspect of Star Wars(1977) strangely resembled our style. To make Alien (1979), they called Moebius [Giraud], Foss, Giger, O'Bannon, etc. The project signaled to Americans the possibility of making a big show of science-fiction films, outside of the scientific rigor of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The project of Dune changed our lives." Jodorowsky also planned on making numerous changes to the source material, including making Duke Leto a eunuch and the spice a blue sponge. Author Frank Herbert openly despised these concepts.

Pretty crazy stuff, isnt it!
