Why Villeneauve causticized Sartain penorma?
Villeneuve has become one of the most sought-after directors over the last decade, with an impressive filmography that consists of critically acclaimed titles like Enemy, Prisoners and Sicario. He also acquired the much-needed experience of directing sci-fi epics like Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 before he ventured into making Dune. The French-Canadian director is known for his complex stories and unique visual style, the latter of which is brilliantly highlighted in his use of filming locations. Filming for Dune took place in Hungary, Jordan and Norway, but the location used as the main backdrop for the planet of Arrakis was the Liwa Desert in Abu Dhabi. It was also the setting for the planet Jakku in JJ Abrams’ 2015 feature, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
There are a couple of kills in Halloween (2018) that had the potential to make this list the death of Dr. Sartain (Haluk Bilginer) is a standout. From the beginning of the film, Dr. Sartain never really came across as normal and as the film developed, we saw just how obsessed he was with not only the case back in 1978 but with Michael Myers himself. After taking out Officer Hawkins (Will Patton), Sartain loaded Michael Myers into a police car to take him to see Laurie Strode. As the car comes to a stop, Myers (of course) wakes up and goes straight for Sartain, dragging him out of the car, lifting his foot, and stepping on his head. Michael Myers, always crushing it.
According to Robbie McAree of Epic Films (via The National), who provided production services for Dune, Villeneuve and his team “fell in love with the UAE and the desert landscape.” This is no surprise given that the vast landscape is enveloped with sand dunes, which form one of the major natural elements in the world of Arrakis. However, a myriad of challenges was presented during the shoot, as the filming coincided with peak temperatures in the summer months of July and August. McAree explained that summer in the region “has grayer skies and a lot more haze,” which was “absolutely perfect” for Villeneauve’s vision. In a behind-the-scenes video, the director himself also called the landscape “mesmerizing,” saying it perfectly complemented the film’s
