Hey folks, one of my old editors from my SciFi Universe days has recently landed a super coup cool interview with famed eccentric filmic genius, Jodorowsky. We've written a few articles in the past about the big J... and for film fans in the know... they KNOW that Jodorowsky is just one of them cool film directors that the rest of the world isn't in the know about.... well, step up and learn. Oh... and the idea of CARO and JODOROWSKY teaming up is just... drool inducing.... here ya go.....
Harry,
I did a big interview that's in the current issue of MEAN Magazine. (MeanMag.Com) Here's the news, straight from him:
1. Jodo has completed a script for Caro (Delicatessan, City of Lost Children). It's about "an actor who gets lost in the universe. And that is all! Like one actor. ... The one actor multiplies himself. They will do it but the picture takes four years till they do it. It's a question of time, from the script, from the early phase, there is a lot of time."
2. Sequel to EL TOPO? "I don't do a conventional 'Part II.' I wrote a script named 'Abelcain,' which could be story of the sons of El Topo. I've been looking for five years for a producer to invest five million dollars in the project. Impossible."
3. Marilyn Manson: "I like this guy. His videos are very artistic. I don't know what is his musical value, but I like the optical values. He always is breaking the limits, no? Art is always amoral. And he seems apersonal, this person.He's something that's further than a human being.... I think he is kind of a genius, literally..."
4. Many of his graphic novels, previously untranslated into English, will be released in various forms (comics, books, etc.) in America in 2000.
There's lots more in the interview regarding
1. Why HOLY MOUNTAIN stillisn't available in the US on legit video or DVd
2. What exactly was involved with his doomed DUNE project in the mid-'70s
3. Interest in video games, shamanism/magick, drug experiences, the Tarot, etc.
Hope this is of interest to you and your readers
