The whole project of Jodorowsky's Dune in the mid-'70's amounted to 2 years worth of preproduction, no shooting, and a massive storyboard book that circulated Hollywood and disseminated it's influence far and wide across scifi ever since.

- DirectorGary GoddardStarsDolph LundgrenFrank LangellaMeg FosterThe heroic warrior He-Man battles against the evil lord Skeletor and his armies of darkness for control of Castle Grayskull.The He-Man costume design and Skeletor's grandiose golden armor towards the end derive straight from Moebius art for Leto and the Emperor, respectively.

So by the 'transitive property of intellectual property' so to speak, this should still be on this list.
