Alejandro Jodorowsky Will Write and Direct ‘Endless Poetry’ the Follow-Up to ‘The Dance of Reality’
Suddenly Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky is a very busy man once again. The director has announced he is writing and directing the follow-up to his 2013 movie The Dance of Reality with his new movie Endless Poetry.
Jodorowsky was the subject of the documentary film Jodovowsky’s Dune which examined his failed attempts at trying to make sci-fi epic Dune. Now we have a new Jodorowsky film in the works, which will follow directly from the last in terms of story. Endless Poetry will continue the film adaptation of the director’s book, which was also the basis of his last feature.
Variety reports that the film will be a Chilean-French-Japanese production, with Asai Takashi and Jodorowsky producing and distribution sales happening now at the European Film Market in Berlin.
Vareity also reports that it will document the ways in which Jodorowsky became an influential poet in Chile in the ’40s, alongside Enrique Linh, Nicanor Parra and Stella Diaz.
In regards to announcement of the movie, Jodorowsky said, "In my memories, my years in Chile had long been associated with suffering and loneliness… but today, at my 85 years of age I have not the least doubt that my encounter with poetry justifies my emergence in that country."
Part of the project will be funded using Kickstarter and is expected to have its project launch on the 15th February.
