Why Dune Director Showed Baron Harkonnen Naked in His First Scene
Denis Villeneuve, the director of Dune, believed that Baron Harkonnen’s naked form was beautiful, and needed to be shown in his first scene. Dune is the galaxy-spanning sci-fi epic based on Frank Herbert’s novel of the same name, which was released in 2021. The film received enormous praise for its intricate worldbuilding and for the strong performances of its large ensemble cast. With its 155-minute runtime, Dune covered the first half of Herbert’s novel, and Dune: Part Two will complete the story upon its release in 2023.
