‘Dune 2’: How Artisans Pulled off Shooting the Arena Fight Scene With Infrared Technology
It took a village of Denis Villeneuve's most trusted artisans to pull off "Dune: Part Two's" epic Harkonnen arena fight scene.
The grand fight occurs early on in the film as the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard) and Lady Margot Fenring (Lea Seydoux) join the inhabitants of Giedi Prime to watch. West says she had “a rude awakening when we started to shoot.” In keeping with the Harkonnen black color palette, she says, “Something I didn’t know was that some of the fabrics immediately turn to white. Says Vermette, “At one point, I had put the Bene Gesserit right on the other side of the Baron’s tower, but then we thought, they don’t need to be that close.” He continues, “As written, it was a triangular arena with white sand.”
