Abel Cain (alternatively known as Abelcaín), also known as Sons of El Topo or The Son of El Topo, is a stalled film project written and directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky and the sequel to Jodorowsky's classic acid Western film El Topo (1970). It was to be produced and financed by Parallel Media.[1] The original working-title, The Sons of El Topo (Los hijos del Topo), was changed sometime between 1996 and 2002 to Abel Cain.[2] In a 2010 interview, Jodorowsky said that the film had "dragged a long time" and suggested that Abel Cain will not feature any "stars", adding that he would cast his son Axel Jodorowsky in the lead role just as he did in his 1989 cult classic film Santa Sangre.[3]
It was expected to be released sometime between late 2011 to 2012, but appears to be shelved so that he may shoot his biopic, The Dance of Reality first.[4]
During an interview at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, Jodorowsky announced his plans to finally make The Son of El Topo as soon as financial backing is obtained.[5] Also in 2016 the sequel to El Topo was released in comic book form as Sons of El Topo (the original title for the project), in a miniseries written by Jodorowsky and illustrated by José Ladrönn.[6] Its third and final volume released in 2022. Axel Jodorowsky died in 2022.
