The first major release of 2024, Dune 2 features several high-level performances, such as the work of Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen
Even though it’s just a few months old, 2024 has already had great performances in theaters. One of the main highlights is the work of Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in Dune 2directed by Dennis Villeneuve and released on February 29th in Brazilian cinemas.
It is worth remembering how Feyd-Rautha is one of the antagonists of Paul Atreidesplayed by Timothée Chalametand nephew of the villain Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård). To prepare for the role, Butler was greatly inspired by two great actors: Gary Oldman It is Heath Ledger.
“I have always been inspired by Gary Oldman in many of his roles. The professional (1994), Point-Blank Love (1993), or O Fifth Element (1997),” said the actor during an interview with NME to promote Dune 2.
And you know, we talked a lot about Heath Ledger, the sense of acting he had. And like I said, it’s not the specific things, but it’s a more general inspiration.
