Dave Bautista will play a reinvented version of Glossu Rabban Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, and this time, Beast will be sporting pale, bleached skin. A new vision of Frank Herbert’s celebrated sci-fi novel will soon appear in the form of Villeneuve’s Dune – the highly-anticipated adaptation that looks set to right many of the wrongs perpetrated by David Lynch’s Dune movie. The first trailer for the film has promised a suitably epic take on the source material, giving viewers their first extended glimpse at the director’s vision.
Alongside footage of lead Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, the Dune trailer included first-looks at some of the story’s central characters. Audiences got their first glimpse of the legendary sandworms that populate the baron desert plains of the planet Arrakis, while a brief shot revealed Stellan Skarsgård’s Baron Vladimir Harkonnen – the central villain of the movie and nemesis of House Atreides. The Baron’s blood-thirsty nephew and Harkonnen enforcer Glossu Rabban, aka “Beast,” also shows up in the trailer, providing a quick look at Dave Bautista’s version of the character. And this time, it looks like Villeneuve has gone in a very different direction.
Unlike Paul Smith’s Beast in 1984’s Dune, Bautista’s version appears to be incredibly pale, with almost bleached-looking skin. Though the Dune trailer only includes a quick shot of Beast, the character will clearly have a very different look this time around – one which he appears to share with Skarsgård’s Baron. While there’s no explanation in the Dune trailer for the villains’ pale complexion, Villineuve has solid reasoning for the change. The director has clearly thought a lot about the world of Dune and how its various characters function within it. In the case of both Beast and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, their pale appearances have to do with their home planet, where the sun itself is mostly hidden.
Speaking to EW, Villeneuve revealed that he based Glossu Rabban’s appearance on the Harkonnen home planet’s ecosystem, explaining that the world of Geidi Prime is “one where the sun is obscured most of the time by heavy clouds of pollution.” Expanding on this point, the director said: “Their skin is not used to sun, so they have to protect themselves from sunlight when they go on Arrakis.” The explanation for why both Beast and the Baron appear to have bleached skin is essentially a severe Melanin deficiency. Despite the fact the House Harkonnen ruled the planet Arrakis prior to the House Atreides taking over, neither the Baron nor Beast have spent much time on the desert planet itself – at least in Villeneueve’s take on the world and story of Dune.
Making such a bold aesthetic choice for Beast shows that Villeneuve is thinking deeply about his version of Dune. Ecological issues were a big part of original author Frank Herbert’s reasons for writing the book, and by incorporating the effects of environment into Beast’s appearance, Villeneuve is paying homage to one of Herbert’s primary concerns when creating Dune – even the movie’s concept art stays close to the book. The director has also revealed that his version of the Harkonnen armor is modeled on an “astronaut suit” – a decision made to play up the fact that these characters come from a very different home world and have to protect themselves against the harsh environs that await on Arrakis.
The look of Beast and his fellow Harkonnens appears to be more than an aesthetic choice, then, with Villeneuve thinking deeply about how the villainous contingent might appear were they to really exist. As such, Dune exhibits an appreciation for a more practical approach to a movie that has no shortage of fantastical elements. That bodes well in terms of the Dune movie staying true to Herbert’s original vision, which, though presented as a sci-fi epic, dealt with very real and relevant modern-day issues.
