A movie trailer project inspired by the graphic novel "The INCAL", from Moebius and Jodorowsky.
A while ago, I reunited a bunch of artists from the original "Heavy Metal" movie to produce a trailer based upon this great work. Then I got busy building my company and it sat on my shelf until a few months back, when I decided to revamp it with today's digital punch.
Two sequences from the original "Heavy Metal" movie were borrowed from Moebius's work; "The Long Tomorrow" story and "Arzach". Given that till this day, Moebius and Jodorowsky are heralded as some of the world's greatest Sci-Fi visionaries; it seems to me that a film, based on their work would be even more successful than one inspired by it.
Bringing these incredible artist's work to the big screen, I am convinced would be a great success...so much so that I animated and directed this piece with other like artists.

This is too crazy good. Can’t believe it’s a fan made trailer. Probably the best one ever.
The film has been green-lit. May the algorithm bless this video.
Do you know where to Look for news about it?
Unfortunately, it'll likely be a watered down version that focuses on FX rather than plot, like the recent Ghost in the Shell.
Did it ever get made? I’d love to watch this if so
KICKSTARTER
BRING THIS PROJECT BACK, WE PAY FOR IT!
@Sam Yep me too, Shit this needs to be done!!! :D
I came here to say the same thing! Where is this movie?!? I need to see it!
#Releasethehodorowsky Cut.
After 10 years it’s just been picked up by Taika Waititi. Working with Jodorowsky on a live action movie. Currently in pre production.
@@harrykatsaros ua-cam.com/video/0lLnS3B1Y0I/v-deo.html
And now, 10 years later we'll finally get a movie adaptation of The Incal. This truly is the best timeline
except i would rather have an animated adaptation. No way this works as a live action movie.
@@1183newman When CGI is as good as it is nowadays, there's literally no difference. The only question is money.
@@thecandlemaker1329 and there is no way this film gets the budget it needs whilst still being successful. I mean the Incal is a fantastic comic but it is a complete nonsensical mess.
@@1183newman The Fifth Element was a pretty good unofficial Incal adaptation with a modest budget and also twenty years ago.
@@thecandlemaker1329 It only borrowed a few key elements from the comic, it was nothing like the comic and that is the issue. To make it a success you have to change so much of it.
It's 2021 and I'm just seeing this! The Black Incal was one of the most influential works of art from my teen years! Brilliant! Simply brilliant and well adapted by an obvious die hard fan. Well done!
And a Movie or series was just green-lit
I prefer the old animation style, heavy metal's like, I love it
***** You mean the magazine or the film?
the previos 1980's trailer
MORE !!!!!
@@08thking I agree but I would love to see something done at least
Holy f**k, what an epic work! You actually adapted and animated the graphic novels. What a thing of beauty, I want to see your version, not some low budget live action thing!
Incredibile bellissimo its prefect i know the incal this work is AMAZING
sembra una roba che direbbe castaneda a don juan comunque è il trailer di un ipotetico film sull incal di moebius appunto ...
ciaooooo
This is seriously one of the most interesting graphic novels ever made. Really hope this becomes a film some day.
It is! And they picked the perfect director!
@@DooMedSean Dónde puedo saber más sobre la película?
If this is really true and the full Incal series will be released as animated movies,
it would be a great gift to mankind.
Absolutely superb and unmatched!
These are to my opinion the most amazingly drawn graphic novels ever made. detailed to perfection on every page,
with incredible artwork by Jean Giraud/Moebius and beautiful storytelling by Jodorowsky.
I've always hoped for this to come true Still do so.
Thank you to everyone involved to this production
What a nice thing you have made 10 years ago.
Stumbeld upon this after i watched a clip from Quinn saying "The Incal" is getting adapted.
Same.
Now that they are finally asking an INCAL movie I hope your video gets many views…great piece of art! I remember how EARTH SHATTERING Heavy Metal was when it came out. I was a kid and snuck into the theater and WOW! Still worship that movie to this day. Thanks for this trailer from some of the same artists!
This looks amazing.
This is so much better than anything I've seen in the cinema in the last few years. INCAL is so worthy of a major release. Do a Kickstarter for this. I'd gladly pay. Someone call Jodorowsky!
I love this Comic, this is pure art , trascendence , fantastic!!!!
That's the most awesome thing I've seen
The Heavy Metal fan in me is screaming rn, yusss!
I want a movie about the Metabarons
Plus it would require two other things a huge budget (all those effekts in the comic won´t be cheap to transfer to live action) and an R-rating (anything less and you would cheapen the story) unfortunately given the recent trend in Hollywood good luck getting a huge budget for an r-rated movie.
Erikjust I'd be more than ok keeping it animated. In fact I'd prefer having the adaption be animated
Too for hollywood
Yeaah
More like a miniseries!
Superbe et fidèle à Moeb. Bravo!
Shades of Heavy Metal.
I just read the first two volumes and this looks exactly the same!! Bring this movie to life please!!!!!
Quel trailer. Vraiment merveilleux ces animations.
Et les bruitages ..!
The Incal series is a complete storyboard+concept design+lay outs for animate. Moebius forever.
Sad if this never becomes! BRING IT ON AGAIN ⚠️
Love how this pops in my recommendations after starting to read it and right after a movie adaptation is announced
And now it's 2021 and a live-action film adaptation directed by Taika Waititi has been announced, with Jodorowsky attached as a consultant.
He might do well... I prefer the director that was on the project before: Nicholas Winding Refn. He's a strange filmmaker with a bizarre style more suited to Jodorowsky. I think he'd add something to sci fi, whereas Waititi will just probably do the look and feeling we expect. The moneybags would probably find Refn a bit of a risk.
meh, I'm out then.....cus screw live action and screw Taka woketitties sorry, after the I'll wreck your canon in a minute baby i'm done....IDG2F if it was a joke i've heard that crap before and take it seriously.....
also there's more you can do in animation that you can't in film and we need this kind of animation to light a fire under WB oh shit we could be doing that.....but let's be real tis would likely just end up as straight to home release, make little to no money just like the live action so yeah, gods watching the movie biz burn itself down is hilarious.....
but this is a cool trailer, i woulda loved seeing this, it's sad that i never heard of this before now
Everything is spot on except for, in my opinion, DiFool's voice.
He just sounds too wise and narrator-like, which doesn't go with his cowardly/slimy personality. DiFool, all things considered, is kind of a scumbag.
But still, this would have been an amazing movie. I hope Refn does something like this with the license.
***** I imagine Tom Skerrit's voice (the character Dallas from Alien). The choice of voice actor in this trailer for DiFool is awful.
You are spot on. Difool is a scumbag, plus not terribly bright. He should never be able to speak so eloquently, unless Incal did it for him.
i believed that it was the Metabaron's voice.
He should have similar voice as Guybrush Threepwood
The voice should be like Stanley Tweedle
Jodorowsky features are always top tier. Never late..
Finally saw El Topo three Days ago. It is peerless except for other Jodorowski films like Holy Mountain
Absolutely unbeliveble! Great work.
My god, I would love to see this made into a full movie!
I’ve never heard of this till now and it looks awesome.
I wish HBO Max would give you guys the money to make this whole project. I want to see it so bad!
AND YESTERDAY THE BIG NEWS COMES OUT....THE MOVIE IS ON PRODUCTION...THE HYPE IS ON. CANT WAIT
Hopefully it doesn't suck. My expectations are high, but this is Hollywood after all... I almost wish HBO just did an animated series instead of a live action film. Make it animated, but use moebius's art style, a 2D hand drawn series!
@@marco12377 yeah thats a great idea also.they did a Short animated trailer of it. You Might have seen it.
Oh my God when I saw this trailer, my jaw dropped and my blood pressure shot up. It was totally awesome; all the complexity of Moebius' art...only this time they moved! And so my next question was: WHERE DO I WATCH THIS MOVIE??!! And then I saw the note. Oh. Okay. Sigh. Well...fantastic work, Mr. Pascal Blaise. This would have topped the already-awesome original HM movie. Thank you for doing this. Moebius has always informed and inspired my own work as a conceptual designer in the Philippines.
It’s going to be reality now dummy
Careful how you say that name
the Incal is the unwanted child of Dune
Please, realize this masterpiece, we all pray for that! Do it as a trbute to the great Moebius, do it and enlight social consciousness with this rare metaphysic tale!!!
There are so many great Directors out there now, and I gotta say, I was both surprised and really happy to see Taika Waititi was the Director of choice Jodorowsky went with.
Just knowing Alejandro will be able to die a happy man with the knowledge that arguably his most important work is in the hands of someone whom respects the work and aesthetic of its creators is really a wonderful thing.
As Jodorowsky himself has clearly stated, it may be Waititi’s own take on the work and not his own, but he obviously has every faith in him doing it justice - I’m not a huge connoisseur of Jodorowsky’s work, (although I have to say, I would have loved to have seen how that movie collaboration between him and Marilyn Manson would have been!) but even I know how fiercely protective of his work he is. And rightly so - both he and Moebius are revered, unique and iconic. So for him to even give up this much control of the ip is a monumental achievement in and of itself and speaks volumes of the faith he has in Waititi.
The world deserves “The Incal”, and it pleases me that so many more people will become aware of the work of these 2 titans - but Moebius and Jodorowsky deserve this whole new audience and interest even more. That it is finally going to be unleashed into the public consciousness for mass consumption is great, but even better is that it’s long overdue that movie-goers had their ideas and expectations challenged. Can you think of 3 better individuals to do that? Because I can’t! 🙃
To end, a question for whomever is reading this: who would YOU like to see in the role of John DiFool?
For me, the obvious choice I immediately went to was Simon Pegg, but then I thought that was probably too on the nose, so…maybe Martin Freeman? A better choice of the two for sure, but then I remembered James Callis - he of Battlestar Galactica fame (amongst many other shows like “Blood & Treasure”, “Castlevania” and “Eureka”). Full disclosure, I know James, so maybe I’m biased as all hell here, but his characterisation of Gaius Baltar was so nuanced, so openly flawed, so brazenly opportunistic, that he would inhabit the role of John DiFool perfectly. Hell, maybe I should mention it to him! So there’s my choice - let me know below who yours would be and why.
@@smthngsmthngsmthngdarkside Ooh. So edgy! And yet this is why you fail at life. **Calmly pushes the mute button and carries on with life unbothered by you**
Im not that familiair with the character DiFool, but someone im thinking about would be Adam Brody. In the tv series called “startup” he played a stressed out and a bit scumbaggy character and did it really well, so thats someone im thinking of.
Nick cage should be Difool
Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina)
Or Thomas Lane (the guy who played Miller in The Expanse) if you want someone older.
Come to think of it Ewan McGregor might be interesting too.
(Martin Freeman has already played Arthur Dent in Hitchhiker’s Guide, so might be a bit too close)
Hopefully it’s a lesser known actor though. Having someone like Fassbender or even McGregor take the role there might be distracting.
@@Will-kt5jk Definitely agree with you that McGregor or Fassbender would be far too distracting. Gleeson is actually a really interesting choice. I like where you’re going with that, I could definitely see him pull off that role.
LOVE Thomas Jane! When he gets a decent script he’s phenomenal - The Expanse was a really great example of this. Another good choice there, but I think you pretty much nailed it with your suggestion of Domhnall Gleeson tbh!
You must continue, Moebius will be happy, great animation and sound. Thank you I read when I was more young the complete Incal comic books ( all of them by Moebius and Janjetov ) and your excellent work is as the same atmosphère
holy fuck you nailed what has been missing in hollywood. I need something bizzare, something to screw my mind up with, something different, something to get people thinking.
Ce film doit absolument être produit. Ma vie aura été une énorme perte de temps si je meurs sans qu'une adaptation fidèle à la BD ne soit produite de mon vivant.
Wow, good work! guys. Thanks for respect the original composition. The secuence of the giant scorpion look really great!
Fantastic. I'm waiting for more...
Wow, I can't believe I am just discovering this now... this is dead on. I would have loved to see the whole movie like this. Very cool. Nicely done.
John DiFool's voice sounds too deep and manly for how I've always imagined the character. I kinda pictured him as a Chris Barrie (Red Dwarf's Rimmer) type.
+RomLoneWolf23 Agreed. It should be much different.
Spot on !
It's him talking in the future
Hands down the best graphic novel. I got so excited by this trailer thinking a film version was out already, but looks that's further in the future. Make it and release it! I love John Difool and the Incal!
I am loving the plot... very fascinating!!
I´m a big fan of this Comic Colection! I think that is the best in the world . I really love it.. Congratulations for the great creators and drawers...
This should be made into a animated film.. Hell yeah!
here after Waitit's announcement. completely new to this but so hyped!!!
Superb piece of work.
This is fantastic! Please, DO IT
Of course it is suggested only 10 years later...
Amazing work man.
This is awesome! Great work everyone!
ANNOUNCED IN NOV 2021! TAlKA WAITITI WITH JODOROWSKY BLESSING IS GOING TO MAKE "THE INCAL"! CROSS YOUR FINGERS HE DOES IT RIGHT!!!
Even though I can’t get used to the animation and new colours, I’d love to watch the movie. This is a promising trailer 👍
Oh yea, its about time to hit recommend page
Suddenly I have the urge to rewatch Heavy Metal.
It’s probably difficult now to get the same artists but, would love to see this story told by animation one day
The story telling & world building might even benefit if told in episodes instead of a movie.
This is wonderful, I wish that the whole INCAL story could be adapted like this.
I can't believe that I'm now just seeing this and just read the Incal series last year. This should've been made into a movie whether it be animated or live action years ago.
It needs to be animated
@@shaggycovers7808 I think a live action would work because the Incal was the inspiration behind the 5th Element.
@@MackeyDeez moebius worked with the people who made the movie so that would be the exception but any director doing a live action would want to add their own ideas and aesthetic to it whereas if it's animated they already have the basis for the art and world and even the story I'm not saying a live action would be bad but to capture everything in it's glory and giving moebius the credit he deserves would be much better captured in an animated version
No one ever told me that Jodorowski made a movie of the incal. No one new it. I was waiting for this so long and I finally found it more or less coincidentally. I was just typing it in the searching field for fun. But the movie exists since 11 years now?! How could I not know?! I'm living near a big comic expert event. Weird.
The movie doesn't really exist though. This small clip is all there is.
A little to action movie/heavy metal (even though I so miss heavy metal) the incal needs to 80s electronic music and John needs to sound more like a difool instead of solid snake
I never seen this before !!! It’s excellent !!!!
This is the best motion comic I've ever seen.
Imma getting HUGE Heavy Metal (animated movie) vibes
2021, place this for crowdfunding, we are ready
This reminds me of the stories in that movie Heavy Metal
Of course it does. Moebius = Metal Hurland= Heavy Metal.
No excuses, this needs to be completed. How much money we need? This will crowdfund in less than 24 hours with probably 10x times the requested amount and that is still just too sober estimate! Mr. Pascal please, give us hope! No matter what Taika will do to it, this faithful reconstruction will still be the best next to the orginal, change my mind.
Wow 10 years laterd this is finally doing a leap
Incal fan here, didn't know this trailer existed... WHY THE FUCK AREN'T WE FUNDING THIS?!?!
+Grillo Sonico 2 words. mrs. moebius
I'm getting some major heavy metal vibes from this. Looks really good.
I really prefer this over a live action adaptation.
1000% would pay to watch this as a full movie/series.
Esto se ve asombroso🙀, lograste plasmar perfectamente plasmar el estilo de Moebius.
This is amazing 💚
Maaaan, I loved this comic book! My fav in highschool! Hope to see an Incal movie one day cause it’s so amazing
I feel the project landed in the right hands with Taika Waititi
Lovely images. I always loved The Incal since following it in issues of Heavy Metal. It would be great to see it made into a full-length adult animated film (ala Heavy Metal). RIP Moebius.
Amazing! I would love to see this movie!
Why hasn't this been completed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world needs more Moebius-isms !
Yo this needs to be a full movie adaptation, this trailer is mindblowingly faithful to Moebius Artwork
Love the heavy metal energy!
You know what would be insane? Jodorowsky making an adaptation of Moebius's Arzach, either live-action or animated, however he wants (and then Incal). Come on Alejandro, you know you want it!
I dont know why this showed up on my feed but... I need it
If jodorowsky couldn't do it
No one can
It doesn't affect us wanting it though
It would take me ages to watch this film one frame at a time. So fun to look at.
Thank you for making this
Without Moebious art it will not be The INCAL, All we will get is this trailer.
Dune was adapted in the 70's and was called "Star Wars" by Georgandro Lucarowsky
That was the most normy thing ever said! lol
You're just outed yourself as someone whose never read sci-fi & is just a mere tourist!
@@chrismaddock598 I've read the entire works of Philip K. Dick. Haven't read Dune, though.
@@johnellizz Thats a good start! He was my first introduction to classic golden age sci-fi 20 years ago.
Space Opera as a genre was around for 35 years before Dune & 50 years before Star Wars.
So, if Star Wars is a rip-off, then so is Dune.
@@chrismaddock598 Georgandro Lucarowsky did the same thing musicians do when they rip-off an old song: He jumbled it around a little...added a couple of reverbs, changed the lyrics a bit.
But "Star Wars" has sooo many Dune-inspired things in it that it's all but an adaptation.
@@johnellizz Space Opera tropes & conventions existed before Dune.
So with your "logic", Frank Herbert merely just ripped off all the Space Opera that preceded it.
You are just echoing the "opinion" of many Tourists & Jack-Of-All-Trades that make the same claim. Seriously you haven't even read dune (let alone any other space operas), which you admitted to, so I'm not going to take your opinion on the matter seriously.
I bought this original graphic novel, produced by Heavy Metal, back in 1981, when I was in 8th grade. I still have it.
When is this coming out ? Looks amazing
Heavy Metal - the Movie & magazine were/are the greatest and this looks amazing!
Hey dizznee, this is how animation is done so pay attention!
I never been so hyped for something that has not been made yet! Take my fucking money!!!! Would love to see this done it's gotta happen
Ahhhhh finally something worth next to my heavy metal films.
We need movie like Dune with Adrien Brody as main caracter
Boring like Dune? No, thanks!
Tata Waikiki is going to direct it, but i think his are live action
I prefer Adam Driverzwhich look like Diffool (really).
Ooooh!! Love this!!
amazing work!
I need! But, as others have mentioned, the art/animation should be as classic and close to the original as humanly possible and the soundtrack should really be synthy, krautsy, psychedelic, proggy 70s/early80s stuff, with emphasis on synth. I could give tons of examples for inspiring the style, but early Tangerine Dream, Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (!) are just some worthy mentions out of hundreds. Of recent artists, I absolutely have to mention Geoff Barrow/Ben Salisbury ("Drokk" - music inspired by mega-city one), The Emperor Machine (Space Beyond The Egg - THE EMBRYOS), Pond, Emeralds and perhaps even M83 and Daft Punk... I could go on and on.
Daniel Lanois would be great!! Or Brian Eno
Looking back 4 years, I still agree with myself except for Pond...wtf is Pond? And Daniel Lanois man, what? Brian Eno? Nah!
@@sceanlyonz4571 I think I found the Daniel Lanois you were actually thinking of. To begin with I could only find this country guy 😆 Sorry for the arrogance before 🙈
INDEED
Since this is French, it should use not krautrock, but Zeuhl.
Making a cartoon out of the Incal is the easy way out. The graphical style has already been established, so the only thing animators need to do is follow it.
On the other hand, making a MOVIE out of the Incal would take some major guts, and that would be the choice with the biggest payoff. Creating environments and costumes that look trippy without looking cheesy. Not limiting oneself to "make stuff that looks like the comic book", but considering the comic book as a stylized, simplified rendition of the "real thing" and asking oneself "What would the real thing look like?"
I'd pay to see this, for damn sure.
