More like Jodorowsky’s “Doom,” am I right? <\/p>\n

\nOne of my favorite documentaries of all time is Jodorowsky’s Dune<\/em>, about the failed attempt by Alejandro Jodorowsky to adapt Dune<\/em>. Some of the lookbooks from that movie have been floating around Hollywood. One recently went to auction.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe assumption is that it would fetch $30,000 to $40,000\u2014a high price, but a fair one for Hollywood history. What happened next was… unpredictable.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe bidding began and the price soared, fetching close to $3 million.\n<\/p>\n

\nWere these just rabid Jodorowsky fans? No, they were an ether-backed collective known as TheSpiceDAO, and they had one goal for this purchase: make their own Dune<\/em>. They tweeted their goals out with a plan for how to tackle this idea.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nHere’s the main problem… they can’t do that.\n<\/p>\n

\nOwning an expensive book means only that. You have the book. The rights to Dune<\/em> lie with Warner Bros., who are deep in creating its own Dune<\/em> franchise. And the studio would sue them into oblivion if they tried to circumvent that.\n<\/p>\n
