HERE'S YOUR BARON VLADIMIR HARKONNEN, BRO
Bro that's an action figure
Lame.
when reading it I half imagined him looking like this guy
Looks like Barbie from Hellraiser 3.
>"Geidi Prime, the Harkonnen planet, is one where the sun is obscured most of the time by heavy clouds of pollution. It’s an artificial world, it’s a world made out of plastic and cut off from nature," Villeneuve says. "Their skin is not used to sun, so they have to protect themselves from sunlight when they go on Arrakis. They use their technology to try and adapt. The Harkonnens are brutal colonizers, brutal invaders, but they are still vulnerable to the environment."
What did Villeneuve mean by this?
Yikes
I want my Baron to be a fat, disgusting, diseased slob.
Not chubby Darth Vader
This movie really is going to be as boring as hell isn't it?
pale "colonizers"
subtle
what else would you expect from a movie in 2020
is this the only harkonnen who has mastered the use of the stealth tech that makes him imperceptible when standing still
Someone put a Darth Vader mask on him
>10,000 years in the future or whatever
>people are named "Paul", "Jessica", and "Vladimir"
>I'M FUCKING INVINCIBLE!!!
In the books Jews still exist. Herbert praises their survivability.
Honestly, I thought that was pretty cool aspect of Dune.
Normie ass names in a alien looking universe because it's so far in the future but still in the real life timeline.
And somehow it's the same exact color as every shot from Villaneuve's Arrakis: grey.
The series stops at God Emperor
I would have given them a gaudy element. This ostentatious wealth that contrasts with the brutal, ugliness of their industrial world, but which they plaster over with art that resembles Soviet-era propaganda for their industry - some romantic crock of shit that doesn't reflect reality at all. The Harkonnens have wealth and rich robes, etc. to try and plaster over the source of it all, i.e. a brutalist, oppressive system on an industrial wasteland of a planet outside of these aristocratic enclaves. Denis ideas sound interesting but all they do is manifest themselves with the baddies being ugly pale men in black BDSM armor.
it's actually possible that dividing it into two movies might let the story breath in a way that makes it engaging in its own way.
but we know going in that it's not going to work as pure escapism.
It just all looks so generic
I like this cherub-like saintly but inhumanly obese portrayal more, although it seems like it's art from in-universe trying to idealize him
Where do they split the movie? Before the baby is born conscious and almost all knowing in the womb or after?
I hope the harkonens are darker end eviler than Lynch's folly
dune the book isn't exactly subtle my dude
>"Geidi Prime is [a planet] where the sun is obscured most of the time by heavy clouds of pollution. It’s an artificial world, it’s a world made out of plastic and cut off from nature
not as cut off as I'd like, honestly
I'm sick of bautista, his face is way too unique for you to see him as a character
although his costume in BR2049 was good, the glasses really changed his face shape
given the hints that Zendaya isn't in much of the first movie, probably shortly after Paul and his mom meet the Fremen.
it makes perfect sense that the names they use 10,000 years in the future will be names we use now, things we know but that aren't currently names, and some shit that's totally unfamiliar. But in that time those names would probably have mutated and changed in spelling to match the phonology of peoples' first languages
So is Feyd going to be in the movies, or will they just use Rabban?
Where the fuck is the colour?
I don't think we have any remaining names from whatever pre-historic anatolian semi-nomadic peoples lived 8000 BC, aside from some coincidentally similar names
>So is Feyd going to be in the movies
Some "leaks" claim he is mentioned, others theorize he and Rabban have been combined into one character. For all we know he may appear but his actor is an unknown and his role so small that it doesn't warrant being announced. Normies care about Momoa being some Chad swordwielding hero, not an unknown early 20's something actor being a guy called "Feyd" who, in the actual movie, does fuck all except listen to the Baron and Piter have a back-and-forth conversation.
feyd and rabban have been combined into bautista
you can't have color, this is supposed to be art.
Biblical names still in common use today go back many thousands of years at least
I don't remember the harkonnens being pale "colonizers". Did that word even exist back then
I know Jihad did
>Where the fuck is the colour?
relax, he's a bad guy so he has to be white
Probably before the time skip. Part 2 will probably begin with Gurney’s smuggling crew getting ambushed.
I hope they have him turn up as a stinger (lol) at the end of the movie, to build hype for the next one. But if he is combind with Rabban that'll suck.
the invention of writing has made a huge difference. there are people called David, Moses and Jacob around today (3k years), and probably Arabic and Chinese equivalents.
another theory is that Feyd and the Emperor are introduced as the villains of the second half of the story.
I didn’t get any anti-white vibes while reading Dune.
Fremen are a Semitic people, this is canon. There shouldn’t be a bunch of pure-blooded gorilla niggers sprinkled in.
Book Harkonnen are not particularly pale or weak to the environment. They’re also more like feudal lords rather than the “european colonizer” shit villeneuve is pushing.
And how exactly does that work without it being cringey? If it's subtle and lowkey then fine but I hope you don't have something stupid in mind like the Thanos stinger from 2012 or the Azula from the M. Night movie.
if the emperor is actually in it they'll have to change his name. no WAY can they have a villain called SHADDAM in 20whatever
>Semitic
The vibe I always got was them being a reflection of Levantine/North Africa Meds, i.e. mostly dark tans with dair hair/eyes but with their small minority of lighter haired/eyed people. Chani has red hair and Hawat was interacting with a Fremen described as having sandy coloured hair/beard.
What if it actually WAS Sting again.
>2000 yers in the past
>people are named "Daniel", "Michael" or "Peter"
Why not? Anyhow, they won't rename if they have some aversion to Shaddam but will just refer to him as the Emperor, his highness, etc
"One of my fans needs me"
He probably won't even rape anyone.
