Dune: How Joy Division and a See Saw Helped Build Baron Harkonnen

In 2021, director Denis Villeneuve and crew successfully completed part one of a lifelong dream by bringing Frank Herbert s scifi classic Dune to cinema screens. As we know though, any story is only as good as its villain. We spoke with multiple members of Dune s production team to find out just how the menacing Baron Harkonnen was designed and brought to life through practical effects. This video was written and edited by Simon Cardy. Dune is available on digital download now and 4K UHD, BluRay, DVD and VOD on 31st January.
