‘Dune’ Exclusive Featurette: Watch The Intense Process Of Creating The Villainous Baron Harkonnen
Denis Villeneuve‘s operatic space epic, “Dune” is not only a “spellbinding arthouse blockbuster” (as our review aptly put it), but it’s a tactile piece of art with terrific craftsmanship that makes it feel much more rich, real, and lived-in, as opposed to a lot of films that rely on CGI effects that can feel hollow. That palpable, textured feel of much of the movie is perhaps no better evinced than in the outstanding make-up job for Stellan Skarsgard‘s evil, monstrous Baron Harkonnen character, a hideous, frightening behemoth that’s supposed to be 600lbs.
