A Book About A Missing Film? Or A Film About A Missing Book? | GRAM PARSONS : SATURATION 70 | DANGEROUS MINDS by Richard Metzger

 ‘SATURATION 70’: 

STORY OF THE LONG LOST GRAM PARSONS SCI FI MOVIE TOLD IN NEW BOOK





by Richard Metzger


Richard’s intro reads:

"Six years before Alejandro Jodorowsky’s extraordinary but ill-fated 1975 attempt to film Frank Herbert’s Dune—the story of which was compellingly told in the recent documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune—there was another similarly ambitious and ground-breaking film project that, until recently, was largely unknown.

Saturation 70 was a special effects-laden science fiction movie starring Gram Parsons, Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas and Julian Jones, the five-year-old son of Rolling Stone Brian Jones. Unlike DuneSaturation 70 did actually make it into production and was shot, but never completed, then was forgotten and undocumented for over forty years.” read on . . . . .
