If an artist (in any regard) is struggling to finance his work, I don't think it is unreasonable to ask people who want to see your art, to help out if they can. People who have the money to spare and want to give it, are more than welcome. And in return, they get a special copy of the end product. Special and collector editions of films can often sell for massive amounts of money anyways, so I don't see the issue for dedicated fans to pay out, and also know that they helped a piece of art from a legendary director being made.

£400??? what planet are you living on?-Loreena Mckennitt, ani difranco and many others have been self-financing ALL their work since the 1980s-that's ALL cds, touring, multinational distribution of ALL their cds, recording costs, advertising etc. If they can manage to self sacrifice for their art and vision for decades then why can't jodorowsky find the funding for ONE movie. Instead he is manipulating his fans into giving him money and I don't care if I am the only one who says so.
