Again, Nicholas delivers. I just received an E-mail with a link to a clip of Andrzej Żuławski’s The Silver Globe. A little Internet research later, and I have to see more of this film. There is a complete film of this project, but it was cribbed together in the 1980′s using footage shot in the 1970′s, and is considered to be largely incomprehensible. Yet another unrealized vision. From what I’ve read, The Silver Globe is the story of the descendants of three astronauts who found a society and create their own gods. It’s based on a series of novels by Żuławski’s's uncle, which are described as “Dune-like”. Can’t beat that.
The clip at top is of the three astronauts, and the one below shows some inter-tribal warfare between their descendants. You can find more on YouTube if you like the taste of those.
