Greenaway lleva a la pantalla grande parte de la vida de Sergei Eisenstein, concretamente el periodo en el que el mítico realizador soviético vivió en México y rodó, entre otros films, "¡Que viva México!".

Sin embargo, la cinta quedó inconclusa, por lo que en 1979 Grigori Aleksandrov, a partir de los “storyboards” originales de Eisenstein, compiló “¡Que Viva México!, una aproximación al montaje que éste planeaba.

En 1975, el polifacético artista y director de culto Alejandro Jodorowsky soñó con un proyecto: la adptación de la novela clásica de ciencia-ficción "Dune", de Frank Herbert'. Junto al guionista de Hollywood y maestro de efectos especiales Dan O'Bannon, el (futuro) diseñador de "Alien" H.R. Giger y el artista de cómics Jean “Moebius” Giraud, todos bajo la dirección de Jodorowsky, "Dune" sería una superproducción cuyas cotas de ambición sobrepasaban todos los límites.
