A Toronto per presentare un suo nuovo film, Stellan Skarsgard, il grande attore svedese, recente protagonista della miniserie Chernobyl, ha parlato anche di Dune, il film di Denis Villeneuve, tratto dal primo romanzo di Frank Herbert, dove lui interpreta il perfido Barone Harkonnen.
Skarsgard voleva lavorare con Villeneuve da molto tempo: “I’ve always wanted to work with him partly because he’s such a wonderful man, but also because he’s a brilliant director. It’s fun when you get one of those big sci-fi movies and you know it’s going to be directed by a true filmmaker. It’s not going to be directed by the studio. It seemed like they were giving him pretty free hands. And you have to, because his personal stamp on the film is paramount for the success of it.”
Secondo l’attore “What he’s really good at is creating this strange atmosphere with his imagery and this cinematic poetry that is his trademark and that will add so much richness to the pretty simple story.”
Nel film oltre a Skarsgard ci saranno anche Timothée Chalamet nei panni di Paul Atreides, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, David Dastmalchian, Zendaya.
Il film arriverà nelle sale americane il 18 dicembre 2020 per Warner Bros.
