Long lost Gram Parson’s sci-fi movie will live on in book form

Gram Parsons

Joining the ranks of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed Dune adaptation, Saturation 70 is a pop culture curiosity that, more or less, only exists in the imaginations of those who care about it. However, whereas Jodorowsky’s sci-fi epic became a documentary that animated his extensive production notes, Saturation 70, a psychedelic sci-fi epic starring Gram Parsons and Brian Jones’ five-year-old son, is getting a book. Announced on Kickstarter last month, Saturation 70: A Vision Past Of The Future Foretold, an art book that compiles what little information we have about the lost film, seeks to provide the most comprehensive look at Saturation 70 ever.

That’s easier said than done. Unfortunately, the only footage that still remains are a promo reel and a showreel of scenes from the movie. Working with director Anthony Foutz, co-author Chris Campion spoke to the remaining cast and crew and culled together surviving set photos and footage to give readers a sense of what this thing would have been.
