Jodorowsky had a sweeping vision of Dune , design to adapt the novel to his own psychedelic imagination ( he said of the book , “ I did not want to observe the novel , I want to recreate it . For me Dune did not belong to Herbert as Don Quixote did not belong to Cervantes , nor Edipo with Esquilo . ” ) . He planned to mold his own son , Brontis , as Paul Atreides , Orson Welles as the Baron , who would be nearly fast at 300 pound , and Salvador Dali as Emperor Shaddam IV , who would be harebrained and living on a planet made of atomic number 79 . Dan O’Bannon was on board to drop a line the playscript and Pink Floyd had agree to do the music . alas , by October 1976 , Jodorowsky had already spend $ 2 million and was work off a book that would have produced a 14 - hour film .
