not gonna lie, sting fucking SLAYED that role.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] rotopenguin@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day 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 9 points 1 day ago

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

Matt Keeslar. He played Feyd in the 2000 miniseries.

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

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

It's enjoyable if you watch it in the context of it's time. You can't compare it to the Villeneuve version.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

Most memorable performance, easily.

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

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

I wholeheartedly agree.

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

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day 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.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 7 points 1 day 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.

[–] Janovich@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Elvis did really well tho.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Damn straight!
