not gonna lie, sting fucking SLAYED that role.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have it on good authority, that Sting was even in a Rock Band! How crazy is that?

[–] rotopenguin@infosec.pub 0 points 2 months ago

He is also a detective in Amsterdam

You know what? A young Fassbender would have been a great Feyd-Rautha.

I mean, McAvoy was the God Emperor...

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I want Villeneuve to adapt God Emperor just to have the slight possibility of McAvoy reprising his role as Leto.

Elvis did really well tho.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I liked his interpretation as it fit the universe well.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It really bothers me, no one bothered to ever give them red hair like the book says.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nobody ever gave the Atreides and Harkonen their book colors, either. But I'd say the 1984 Feyd-Rautha has red hair.

Sting came the closest, he's the best. Idk wtf was happening in the new movie. Or why they became HR Geiger people.

In Alejandro Jodorowsky's concept for a Dune film from the early 1970s, each house has their costumes and architecture designed by a contemporary artist. Giger was the designer for the Harkonnen, and several of his ideas persisted beyond the failed film.

The Harkonnen Castle

A Harkonnen chair

I assumed Villeneuve was calling back to those designs.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Cool, never seen these before. The designs were nice, the only thing I didn't get was that Harkonnens are now stark white bald people. Their ships were menacing, which is cool. But I think the original intention was that they were also human, not so different from the Atreides. Which I liked.

I want that chair. Probably uncomfortable but that’s some sweet evil vibes going on for a zoom call.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Damn straight!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Most memorable performance, easily.

[–] ChuzaUzarNaim@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Baron was a lot more fun in Lynch's Dune as well.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 0 points 2 months ago

I wholeheartedly agree.

Matt Keeslar. He played Feyd in the 2000 miniseries.

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've never seen it. Was it any good?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

It was very much a product of its time. It was alright.
