Dune 2's Stellan Skarsgård Says It's a Painful Process to Become Baron Harkonnen

Описание: The wait for Denis Villneuve's sequel, Dune: Part Two, is nearly over, and fans are preparing to return to Arrakis to see the war begin. Though we root for our heroes in Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and the Fremen, it's the unforgettable antagonists that really make us cheer those heroes on, and Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen makes for one vile baddie.

In Part Two, Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), have evaded House Harkonnen's attempts to put an end to the House Atreides bloodline. Following the assassination of his father, Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac), Paul unites with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen people to train and prepare for a coming war. While the Harkonnens have their greedy, sadistic sights set on reclaiming the spice trade and control of Arrakis, Paul is determined to enact revenge for his family and to guide the Known Universe to a future only he can foresee.

During an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Skarsgård talks about the long, grueling process of transforming into Baron Harkonnen, a sickly pale, blubbery man of leisure and luxury. He discusses the hours of makeup, the skilled artists who make the transformation possible, and why just a little Baron goes a long way. He also talks about working on a set under Villeneuve's direction and sensibilities, and teases where production is at for Andor Season 2.
