Stilgar, a messiah-worshipping, gullible however healthful Fremen, immediately turned a fan favorite. A stand-in for an harmless spiritual fanatic, his fixed chants of ‘Lisan-al-Gaib’, reverence for Paul Atreides and only a plushy, heat manner was liked by all those that watched the film. Denis says it makes him proud of all of the love that Stilgar acquired.
‘He has an enormous coronary heart’
“I am very happy when you say that he is a tragic figure. For me, he is the most tragic figure of all. The idea to bring humoor to Stilgar was to make him lovable, to feel the humanity in that character. He’s not an austere figure, he has a big heart. But his beliefs, his faith, his reactions bring humor — and that is something I love about making a sci-fi film, because I can talk about that without offending people because it’s a fake religion. I designed all the prayers myself, so I know it’s fake. I find Stilgar very funny. And when people laugh, I’m happy because that was the intention,” Denis mentioned.
On a seek for the messiah
“All his life he has been raised with that dream (of finding the messiah). So I suggest that every time a guy comes from outside with a lot of charisma, he hopes he’s found him. Like in the Bible, we have tons of prophets before Jesus came,” Denis defined Stilgar’s obsession with Paul as a messiah (Lisan-al-Gaib).
Dune 2 starred Timothee Chalamet because the lead with Zendaya, Austin Butler, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Florence Pugh in supporting roles. It relies on Frank Herbert’s acclaimed sci-fi novels. Denis is at the moment writing the third half, Dune: Messiah.
