“The greatest film never made”….? Perhaps, we’ll never know.

The story behind the film that never was is perhaps more famous than the film itself might have been. But what of it? Why did this ambitious, epic picture of arguably the most famous and successful sci-fi novel of all time fail to come to be? (not including the troublesome David Lynch version, of course!) And what happened to all the work that went into the project?In this episode, Neil & Chris discuss all this and more!

If you are in the UK, you can stream rent/purchase the film via Amazon Prime.
