    Nobody ever gave the Atreides and Harkonen their book colors, either. But I’d say the 1984 Feyd-Rautha has red hair.

      Sting came the closest, he’s the best. Idk wtf was happening in the new movie. Or why they became HR Geiger people.

        In Alejandro Jodorowsky’s concept for a Dune film from the early 1970s, each house has their costumes and architecture designed by a contemporary artist. Giger was the designer for the Harkonnen, and several of his ideas persisted beyond the failed film.

        The Harkonnen Castle

        A Harkonnen chair

        I assumed Villeneuve was calling back to those designs.
