If there is one thing that Dunis Vilnev's "Dune" films clarify, it is that you do not want to mess with Bene Gesite. They are basically a cult of space witches and they are all trained to be as deadly and cunning as possible. They can remember to do their bidding with the voiceAnd they have daily access to a gomar, a cyanide hand needle that will kill you in a matter of seconds.
Rebecca Ferguson, who starred in Vilnev's "Dunne" films as Paul Atreids (Timothy Shalam) mother Lady Essesica (witch Bene Geserite, who teaches her son her many skills), has a lot of fun playing such a dangerous character. However, she regrets that Vilnev's first "dina", in particular, was able to include it from Frank Herbert's original material. Like all movie adaptations, Vilnev's "Duna" had to miss certain elements of Herbert's original book, and much of the reduced material would help better illustrate the clear scale of how advanced Bene Geserite had become since the time the film took place.
Among the scenes that did not jump on the screen - but which Ferguson, in particular, really wanted to turn on - was a moment from early in Herbert's novel, in which Essica reveals a hidden message from another witch Bene Gesite. The message is a bunch of small dots on the back of the sheet; By running your finger on it, Essesica is easily able to decode it. "Your son and the duke are in immediate danger," the message said, warning of the assassination plot against Paul (that is, fortunately, soon avoided). The assassination attempt is shown in Vilnev's film, but the stage where Essesica learns about it ahead of time is not:
Rebecca Ferguson washes Vilnev's Dinev in Bene Gesert's methods
"What is interesting to me is the idea that people had to be so tolerant and so before the game," Ferguson explained in an interview with 2024 with Colider. "We often talk about being 10 steps before; talking about being years and light objects before planting ideas and religious thoughts. One of the () scenes we didn't get into (Vilnev's first film"), which was one of my favorites from the book - and I tried to get us,
She admitted that Spinoff's maximum series "Duna: Prophecy", dives deeper into such elementsBut that does not reduce the impact much - since the Dune series Prequel has been set 10,000 years before Jesica was born. "I mean, it doesn't give me anything, right?" Ferguson was joking. "What will I be? Happy for other people?"
The good news is that "Dune: Messiah", Herbert's second book "Dune" and Wilthenev's third film "Dune" will be based, there is a lot of Cheming of Bene Gesite. And for sure, Essesica does not appear in the Romanian version of the Messiah, But given the biggest structural changes that Vilnev has made in his films "Duna" so far, Essesica will play a role in the next. Maybe she will set the scene in the novel "Messiah" where two women from Bene Gesite know that they are being bothered, so they speak innocent dialogue with their regular voices while using subtle inflatations and tiqui on their face to communicate their true meaning. Their training is so advanced that they can have two completely different conversations at once, with one of them invisible to the untrained eye.
Being is a complicated thing to display on the screen, but I hope Vilnev takes the risk anyway. The Besserite gene has very cool, advanced methods of communication, so ideals we can see as many more adapted to the screen as much as possible.
