Biggest lego set ever- Paul’s giant palace in Messiah.

Jorodowsky wanted to have Baron Harkonnen live in a palace shaped like himself.

Similarly, Salvador Dali suggested the Emperor should sit on a toilet-throne made of intersecting dolphins with one dolphin mouth for urine and one for feces.

Those would both be awesome lego sets.

The interior of a sietch with water storage and orgies.

Sting in underwear as a minifigure would be cool. Googling for Lego Sting Dune found something too unsettling to post.

How dare you withhold this from the thread



There are a bunch of people who have done Dune creations of their own but a lot of them are kinda aesthetically underwhelming.

I guess the glow looks cooler but it's weird no adaptation has done the eyes "right". Guess it'd be a pain for the actors to wear the contact lenses.

Nearly black eyes is way creepier than the glow but we're never gonna see it.

There is fan art floating around of more book accurate blue within blue eyes but it would not translate well to film as it would just look like all black eyeballs like from a horror flick. The glowing has always been off-putting but maybe there is no way to add noticeable color to the sclera in post production without it.

Why shouldn’t it look like a horror flick? The Fremen are horrible. Theyre sinister pant making GBS threads backcountry dwelling pushers who engage in kinky drug orgies. even their children are murderous fiends. The fact that our point of view ends up on their side shouldn’t blind us to this. The glowy blue eyes are too ensconced at this point though, despite their inappropriate look. If someone as into visual austerity and sterility as Villeneuve can’t give us Zendaya but with the eyes of the clonemasters from Star Wars, then who can?

Sure you could. This isn't like the 80s where you needed to rotoscope every frame by hand. AI can do most of the work, even, just set up some keyframes and let it interpolate.

Yeah having black eyes would be really off-putting but I always thought that was the point. Glowing blue is more "that's cool I want that".

Exactly it's not so much that it can't be done it's that it probably comes off too creepy and distracts from the story. Imagine scenes where the only exposed part of a Fremen is their eyes but they are pitch black so you can't even tell what the actors are emoting it would look goofy as hell. Give them a slightly blue tint in the sclera and you get the "idea" behind the Eyes of Ibad without making the movie worse for it.

I agree that if they show full 3rd stage guild navigators or something then they should have deep blue eyes almost black for the creep factor.

well the thing is that in a book, you can more easily be told how to feel about them from the perspective of the characters in that setting

In a movie it would be a much more visceral reaction from the audience. The movie would probably have to spend a lot of runtime to get you to relate to any character with those eyes and I'm not even sure it would be successful no matter how much they tried.

All I hear is people threatening me with a good time. “But if we make the terrifying cult of space barbarians who overthrow civilization in the name of their overman-messiah look like it says in the book, they’ll be less relatable!” I bet yall don’t want to see them fit their suits desert fashion either

It's not the color of the iris you goofball it's that if your entire eye is a pitch black orb it makes you look like a monster from a Japanese horror movie and the ability for an actor to convey anything is severely limited. Sure it would look bad rear end and would be faithful to the book but in a movie it would look like a bunch of zombies shouting at each other every scene.

Ok "anything to do" was not the right phrasing I'll admit that, but it's not the sole thing you need to rely on.
