Jodorowsky's Dune Page #2

---

I need to find this person.

I went to see my agent, publicity agent...

and there he was. By chance.

He was there.

He say, "I am Moebius."

"When I drawing science fiction,

I am not Giraud, I am Moebius."

And I say to him,

"You are the person! Come with me!"

Drawing by drawing, I shoot the picture.

I need 3000 drawings.

Point of view. Movement of the camera.

Dialogue.

The relation between the actors.

I use Moebius like a camera.

I take Moebius, I say,

"Now you advance." "Now you travel."

"Now you make a close-up."

I have Moebius, who was a genius.

Moebius was a genius.

Because he was not only an artist

with an incredible capacity...

but he was very quick.

Was superhuman. He was...

quickly, rapido, incredible.

And then I could shoot.

Every day, we start to shoot...

At 8:
00, we come, we prepare everything.

I think at 9:
30 we start to shoot.

I made the picture with drawings.

And then in the costume, I say to him...

I describe what I wanted.

He immediately:

Quick, more than a computer.

He was incredible.

Everything became magic

when we was doing this picture.

Everything, everything.

Dune, my Dune, start with a long shot.

I admire the long shot

of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil.

The camera go, go, go,

traverse the street, go.

It's a fantastic big, long shot.

And then I wanted to start Dune

with a long shot...

better than the long shot

of Orson Welles.

I wanted to go farthest.

And then all the shot

is traversing the whole universe.

You go there and you traverse

all the galaxy, all the galaxy...

and in traversal of the galaxy,

you see a pirate...

robbing a convoy of spice, by example.

Battles. And you go, you go...

Is a long shot.

We need to find the person

who will make the special effects.

"I say, " Moebius, we fly

to California, to Los Angeles...

to the appointment

of Douglas Trumbull."

He was a very honored,

very important person.

He receive me. He was interesting.

Was a business.

We went to see Trumbull...

but he gives himself so big importance.

We was speaking, he answered...

40 times the telephone.

Forty times.

He was speaking

with so big vanity of himself.

He was a big technician.

But for me, was not a spiritual person.

He have nothing to do in the creation

of a film who was a prophet.

He will make a technical film, no?

And then I say,

"I cannot work with you."

And we went out.

Moebius was astonished, say,

"How you can say no to the biggest...

technician of Hollywood?"

I say, "it is like that."

I cannot use him.

He is not my spiritual warrior.

And then we was walking in the street,

Hollywood...

there was a little cinema, a little theater.

And there was a science-fiction picture...
