Dune 2: Rebecca Ferguson Tried and Failed to Get This Bene Gesserit Detail Into Sequel

- One of the most mysterious elements of the Dune series is the powerful Bene Gesserit. In Denis Villeneuve's films, actress Rebecca Ferguson is Lady Jessica, the audience's gateway into the superhuman abilities and their shadowy political plays. An acolyte of the faction herself, Jessica defied their teachings and bore a son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), who has the makings of the foretold Kwisatz Haderach. In Dune: Part Two, we pick back up on Lady Jessica and Paul's journey into the deserts of Arrakis.
Continuing the first of Frank Herbert's books, Part Two will pick back up with the mother and son after they've united with the Fremen. A war is brewing now that Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac) has been assassinated by the vile Harkonnen family, and the Atreides heir is believed to be dead. With Paul working side-by-side with fighter Chani (Zendaya) and her people, and his mother's teachings, Muad'dib seeks revenge for his family and to alter the future to a path only he can see.
Check out the interview in the video above or in the transcript below to find out what about the Bene Gesserit from the books Ferguson begged Villeneuve to include, her reaction to Dune: Prophecy possibly covering it, how she trained for a massive transformation in Part Two, and an update on Apple TV+'s Silo Season 2.
The cast of Dune: Part Two brings back Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Josh Brolin as Gurney, Dave Bautista as Rabban, Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Harkonnen, and introduces Christopher Walken as the Emperor, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, and Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha.

2:25 I'm not convinced with that "Yes" 😂😂
Me neither. lol
And she saw that.
You and me both 🤣🤣🤣
Faker than Power Ranger fight
yes... 'poker face'
such a bummer that he could not keep up with her during the interview, it seemed so clear that she had to slow down to meet his pace
amphetamines are a hellava drug !
Lmao I was thinking the same thing, she was carrying this interview by herself.
No, she kept interrupting and speaking over him. He is meant to be asking her questions, she is meant to be answering. She seems to have forgotten the first part of that process. Quite annoying actually.
@@HolyMith She was working all day prior to doing this interview and we have no idea how much press she still had to do that day.
Doesn't excuse her for constantly interrupting and being rude@@npckse8508
"what am i gonna be happy for other people?!" lmao she's so funny
need more of her from now on during the press tour!
Apparently 14 or so hours in a water tank makes Ferguson a wee bit feisty.
She is great. Very funny a quick.
For someone who plays such somber, stoic roles, she's just a breath of fresh air as her interview self!
She's incredible, maybe the most underrated thing about Dune, but she carries the film with her eyes! Powerful actress!
I don't know who underrated her, nearly everyone I know who's seen the film said she was incredible!
I've read and watched a lot of reviews of both movies and I don't see anyone underestimating Rebecca. On the contrary, her acting is highly praised. Plus, he's one of the funniest actors in any Dune interview I've seen.
I'm disappointed, Max. You didn't have a clue what she was talking about. It was the scene in the wet-world conservatory - Margot Fenrig had left a coded warning message on the back of a certain leaf that only another BG would have been able to read. Jessica found it about the same time Paul was having his hunter-seeker encounter.
He doesn't seem to have read the book.
@@IntotheBangtanUniverseWormhole his lost look and hesitation when she reminded him of the Bene Gesserit hand signals tells me he did not read the book, or if he did, it was just a quick scan.
@@briareusm agreed
Note that the wet world conservatory was located in Arrakeen in the main building complex designated as Duke Leto's HQ, and that's where Jessica encountered it in the book. Now there was some sort of plant collection elsewhere in Dune 1, but I feel that was just a homage to the book. I suppose that's ok, but I'm still peeved about the dinner scene omission, especially as it lays down so much by way of power dynamics between characters and even within themselves.
OMG...! She gave a gift of an answer and he didn't even pursue it?!?! The leaf communication... WHAT about it? Why is it so interesting to her? Jeeez!
Hopefully we will see the scene in the Directors Cut. She is so perfect as Lady Jessica.
I don't believe him. He had no idea what she was talking about.
Yeah he clearly didn't remember and so he bailed on the question. Shame. He could have just asked her to go into more detail since she seemed so enthused by it.
@@derek96720 This is a major motion picture, a major one of the year at that, the actors are on a massive worldwide press tour, answering the same questions over and over, just so that local tv program will have some clips to show on their own channel... and all of a sudden someone hits a geyser, she's spouting this new info, an exclusive if you will that no other channel has... and this interviewer just goes to the next humdrum comment and question(!). If I was their editor I would have just put them on desk duty probation for a while. On top of it all... she propped up and wanted to talk about it!
@@chefskiss6179 I know, he probably regrets it now. He should've just admitted that he didn't remember that part and ask her to describe it and how they filmed the scene. What a shame.
I know the interviewers aren’t given much choice, but JFC these junkets are so painful. The interviewers are hurried and stressed out and the actors are exhausted and totally over it. Surely this can’t be the best way of doing this.
Define "best"
It's certainly not the most enjoyable to watch and probably not to do, but it's probably the most cost efficient for the studio trying to promote the film and ultimately isnt that all that matters?ha
He had no idea what she was talking about. Instead of saying yes he could've asked her for more details.
TOTALLY! I mean, it's been years since I read the books, and I truly wanted to be reminded of the scene. Fail, bro.
I want to see the leaf reading scene so bad 😭 It's one of the coolest parts of the books.
It was in the arrakeen part so its for sure skipped now sadly😢
I don't remember it in the books 😢
it was filmed for part 1 and shelved
@@user-fx5cd4px3k I know lol. She says that in the video. Hence my comment.
@@user-fx5cd4px3k if it was filmed then it might make it to a director's cut... but probably only after all 3 films have long come out
She’s so chaotic 😭
Actors are often out there.
She trying to have fun with the interview and he’s being tooooooooo dry. That being said, I usually really love his interviews.
You should talk to her about it when you guys see each other at home tonight.
It reminds me of Karen Gillan. She's a weirdo.
Yeah, she's clearly an only child.
This actress is absolutely amazing in everything she does. She was AMAZING as Rose The Hat in "Doctor Sleep"
'So, good. You taste like whiskey.' - Just before Rose The Hat meets the starving.
Man why was this so much more interesting than most of the Dune interviews? Too many others keep recycling the same talking points.
she is older and thus possessing broader perspective, maybe?
@@mrs.6523she’s 35 lol
@@Anthonycheesman33 40, actually.
because the others are doing 20 interviews and she's doing maybe 3, a bit easier not to repeat that way? also she's a supremely intelligent and charismatic actor with a lot of experience, so that might help
To me it seemed a bit awkaward and disjointed, like they were not always getting each other...
It was so funny watching her talk to the INTERVIEWER and somehow come up with better questions and responses and just carry the conversation, like no shade to him but if your interviewing then you should at least be prepped for it.
That moment in the book with the leaf was so cool. I had no idea they were gonna shoot that. Ferguson's all class.
She looked so tired, yet she still showed up to give a great interview. What a champ!
she doesn't have movie makeup on and she's in her 40s or something come on she's like an 11
@@geargeekpdx3566 you can be tired and beautiful at the same time, they're not mutually exclusive.
The missing scenes: the conservatory with the hidden message from Margot Fenring, the dinner and the conversion of Liet Kynes from an enemy to the Atreides to an ally, the revelation of the Fremen terraforming of Arrakis: these make the story so much more than just another Mortal Kombat movie. I wish, I wish, I wish they had been included.
and the detailed rituals of transformation with all the body movements that she said that didn't get into the film. oh, that's sooo interesting
I'm holding out hope that they do the banquet scene in flashback - Denis, are you listening?
The lack of the dinner scene in the movie was surprising to me. Without that dinner you have no idea why Liet Kynes is helping them.
@@Vortex-gz8se There was zero politics in the first movie, which is a huge part of the story.
You’re beyond right. They were so important!!
One of the best actresses of her generation and she's still very underrated ! She was the standout of the first movie, and I'm sure it's gonna be the case for Part 2 !
Exquisitely beautiful even with such understated makeup.
You better be watching Silo!
@@catsupchutney nah lol she's pretty but average. She doesn't need makeup though, I agree there.
Yeah, he didn't know the leaf reading scene. If you want to know what she means, it starts on page 116 of Dune
I started to read the books when I was 16. I have the litany against fear tattooed on my back. I try to live by it. I just love this universe.
She tries to be Chaotic Good, but comes off as Chaotic Perfect and it boggles the mind.
Nice video - Fergusuon is obviously very skilled as an actress, and yet I've felt thru most of her roles that she's not being used fully, that I could easily envision other strong actresses doing the same - until Dune 1, that sequence where her mentor tests Paul, and Jessica's squirming conflictedness - IMO nobody else could have captured that quality, so I hope she hones in on that in her work - but watching her do this interview, I'd hope to see her in more classical material - Shakespeare, Austen, Moliere, etc
Villeneuve basically said this as well
she's gorgeous
She is so good in Dune Part Two, powerful performance, such a presence
That awkward silence when he had no idea what she was talking about and then he straight up lies and says "yes" then immediately tries to change the subject. That was hilarious
Rebecca is so quirky and I just LOVE her!
2:20 He definitely did not remember.
She's too cool for the interviewer.
I’m most excited to see the water of life ceremony! It’s going to be so weird and trippy
Rebecca was on it hahahaha! and the interviewer is just too in his head to connect with her. Cute interaction
I think it's because they aren't speaking face to face and in the same location
I thought the same thing! He forgot to participate in the back and forth exchange. It was almost hard to watch. Lol She was trying to joke around with him and he just did not get it.
I agree. Terrific interviewee; terrible interviewer.
Excellent interview! Rebecca is so insightful! Her performance in Part Two is gonna be brilliant!
hopefully better than part 1 where she's freaking out and being emo all the time.
She's talking like there is no camera 😅 it's great but also a bit frightening
She mentions a scene from the book! lady Fenring's secret message! So cool. I'm glad she's referencing the books :DDD love you my Ferguson.
she definitely shows a few of those Bene Gesserit skills on Silo. How the hell did she survive those falls, first off the stairs onto the next level, then down what, 70 floors jumping into that rubbish disposal shaft? Even Leto II in his giant worm phase would struggle with that 😅
I can tell from this interview he did not read the Dune books, which you can tell because he became lost from details in the books that Rebecca knew.
I don't know how Silo has flown under my radar, but I will be checking it out now. Also, Rebecca Ferguson on press tours has been one of my favorites for Dune 2. So many great interactions and comedy gold from her.
It’s very good. Highly recommend
She's absolutely perfect for her part in this movie! So gorgeous!😀💖🎆🌋👑
I totally remember that scene, it was the first indication of Bene Gesserit abilities IIRC.
I’m confused. There might not have been a scene with Bene Gesserit communicating amongst themselves through sign language but there were at least two scenes where she, as a Bene Gesserit, does so to others: the one where she interviews potential housekeepers and she communicates to her bodyguards not to react defensively when Shadout Mapes produces a crysknife and the other where she communicates with Paul aboard the ornithopter after being taken by Harkonnen troops to abandon them in the Deep Desert, to instruct him to use the Voice against the Harkonnens to remove her gag and free her.
I remember Jessica reading the code under the leaf from the book because I thought details like that were so cool.
The Arrakeen Conservatory scene would have been awesome, and would have introduced Margot Fenring before Part 2. I also wanted to see the banquet scene, but alas. Maybe one day we'll get that 4+ hour cut that Momoa hinted at.
I know the scene. Lady Fenring left that message for Jessica on the underside of a leaf.
She's gorgeous.
Badass Reverend Mother
I absolutely don't remember the leaf thing but now I want it in the movie so bad.
This is hilarious. Most of what she says goes right over his head. (might explain the hair)
I honestly feel for the writers and directors, any, that try to turn these books into movies. So many things will have to be cut. That said this team is doing a fantastic job and I hope they go all the way through to the end of the Gid Emperor.
So many things are cut out yet they somehow manage to put loads of scenes into the movies that aren't in the book. I feel like if a director is adding things that aren't in the book, they don't get to use the excuse that there was too much in the book to include it all in the film.
@@derek96720 In many ways I agree with you. It is just adapting the book to a movie is what I believe they are trying to do. It is their interpretation of the book and what they feel is needed to attract audiences and make it profitable. You have to admit that understanding the effect of lasers on shields (nuclear explosions) is why they still use blades may be an issue in a movie. Or the Butlerian Jihad on the timeline and technologies of Dune. Even explaining what a Kwisatz Haderach is, or how the Bene Gesserit were able to facetime with their ancestors is very difficult to explain in a movie. Overall I am impressed with the movies though. Is it perfect and true to the books? No. I am willing to cut them some slack though just to see another generation introduced to what has always been one of, if not my favorite, sci-fi series of all time. Maybe some people will watch the movies and actually read the books given a chance. If we cut them some slack and they stay profitable, maybe we can get the God Emperor of Dune done! Now that would be worth seeing!
I love her chaotic energy
Just love her. Great actress and beautiful
I just want to know about BEST SERVED COLD, one of my favourite novels ever.
This interview dynamic is so strange
There's a prolonged shot when she looks into the camera and its terrifying. You can see Aliya leaking out of her.
came to hear a bit about the upcoming Dune movie, got a little bit about the next Silo season - Awesome surprise!
Sounds like they shot a few scenes involving prana-bindu exercises.
Yeah hopefully it will be an ethereal experience
Wasnt the leaf scene in the first half of the book?
Rebecca send in rare form in this! She seemed silly and fun. I was a fan already, and even more so now!
Love Becca Ferguson. Outstanding actress.
Rebecca Ferguson is one tough lady!
I had never seen or heard of this actress until I saw her truly horrendous portrayal of the Lady Jessica in Dune one. I still cannot imagine what the director was thinking. Next time someone needs a nervous washer woman she's the one they need.
She’s astounding in the show SILO
They did her dirty in the thumbnail
This guy had no freaking CLUE what she was talking about... That said the morse code on the leaf should have been in dune 1...
Totally forgot she was in Silo. Glad we have her in that show to tide us over til Dune Messiah
Every second the camera is on the bald guy is a second lost on it not being on Rebecca.
have some respect, you buffalo.
Love DUNE and SILO😮😮😮
C'mon, you've got Rebecca Ferguson right in front of you and you don't ask her about Ilsa Faust? We need to know if she's coming back for MI 8
Just more proof that Denis should release a director's cut, or at least a "Frank Herbert Cut"
Damn it I just fell madly in love with Rebecca Ferguson
Rebecca Ferguson is really awesome and an incredible talent. So down to earth and cool. I love her.
I love her sense of humour...No doubt, she'd be fun to hang with!
Lady Jessica is my favorite character and I love thay Rebecca also loves her. I'm so sad because next to Paul she is the most important character by far but for some reason the films keep cutting her scenes short, I really don't get it. The interviews with the rest of the cast they never seem to regret stuff that was cut but Rebecca always mentions it. Nevertheless I'm so excited to watch it next month.
Supposedly many more hours of footage was shot than what made it into the theatrical release. Hopefully the directors cut will be twice as long and really flesh out the whole universe and characters.
@@Ghoster311 Villeneuve said he wasn't going to release the cut scenes, so I'm not so sure we will see more of her story :((((
@amanda-uw3un that is incredibly stupid. It would be more popular than the releases. Hopefully the studio overrides him.
The leaf reading scene really could have been kept in (not having seen part 2, I'm just winging it here). It is a moment that not only provides a plot point but is also revelatory of Lady Fenring's character. It's really the first point where we know her loyalties - to the Bene Gesserit and thus to Jessica. We'll see how it plays in a couple weeks when the movie comes out.
She might have confused him by referring it to as a kind of sign language instead of a quasi-braille that only people in the know would know.
All the actors and crew of this movie live and respect the source material. Star Wars and Marvel take note
Good interview but i gotta say the new visual format is unsettling for me, the visual effect that you are in a space together combined with the slight disconnect from internet lag jsut causes an uncanny valley thing that i don't like. If i was less aware what was going on i would probably think you were just kind of rude, but i understand its the lag.
Rebecca is such a charmer 😍
She's so great.
🎉Ferguson. Was the stand out in the. First. Movie
2:24 no, no he doesn't.
Not gonna lie... I am excited to hear about the dune stuff but I'm more excited about the silo stuff right now. She needs more lead role content.
The greenhouse scene.
2:44 for the best part.
My reverend mother ❤
I feel like this interviewer was mismatched with her. Total opposite chemistry
Rebecca and Stellan, Sweden well represented 🇸🇪
I love her sfm hahaha
Gonna be good period.
Ha! She ripped him a new one! He's going to have to get up earlier to hang with her!🤣
She is so cool.
Ha. She was obviously so tired of interviewing by the time he came along.
She laughs exactly like Tom Cruise
Lightyear is not a measurement of time ...
Jesus this interviewer. It's like he wasn't even having a conversation, but a dialog with himself with Rebecca being his virtual assistant to keep his train of thought on the tracks.
Loved how he had no clue about the leaf reading scene but claimed he did.
@@mikes5637 💀. "Remember that from the books?" ".........,,,......,,.....,,.....yes. 😐"
Could he be autistic?
He doesn't remember
She's fantastic
He just cant diagest her. she is as amazing person 🙂
She is she. For some reason I wish she was she minus 5 in interviews.
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE DELETED SCENES IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA RELEASE AN EXTENDED CUT REEEEEEEEE
If Alia doesn't kill the Baron, it's gonna suck
Why? I don’t feel like that would definitively damn the entire movie
alias role in the first novel is about as important as feyds role in the first half of the same novel. Alia is essential to messiah and children of dune but not for the first novel.
alias role in the first novel is about as important as feyds role in the first half of the same novel. Alia is essential to messiah and children of dune but not for the first novel. If she is mostly absent from part2 i dont think it is all that important to the overall plot of the first novel.
It is a major plot point, after all.
@@Himmiefan The major plot point is the baron being killed. Who does it isnt the point of that plot point.
Rebecca Ferguson is a chameleon's chameleon!
... and I mean that in the best way. Got it?
I don't really care for how they made Jessica kind of a fearful wimp in the film. But she's a good actress and totally gorgeous. And I wish these press jumkets didn't run the actors ragged. let them get some sleep.
You haven’t read the book
@@corvus8638 I've read them all many times. Apparently you are the one who hasn't.
