She’s now shooting the Apple TV series “Wool” and “Mission: Impossible 8” sometime this year before returning to “Dune.” She’s certainly booked and blessed and enjoying it while she can. And that was very different for me.”įerguson won’t be slowing down anytime soon. I mean, I could go on and on, but it was a handful of people who I admire from smaller films. All of these indie, Javier Bardem, Charlotte Rampling.
So, I think that also creates such a different dynamic for me on set. I’ve been the female lead in huge films, but I’ve been in this world. This is the first huge film for him to carry. “What I loved about ‘Dune’ was, Timothée said it so well to me, he said, ‘Well, I come to this from an indie world.’ He’s done smaller, good budget films. “I don’t like comparing we work differently,” Ferguson says of the two franchises. She spent much of the past two years shooting the seventh chapter in that franchise, but don’t ask her to compare the experiences. Her credits include the hit musical “The Greatest Showman” and the last two critically acclaimed “Mission: Impossible” installments. “Dune” is not Ferguson’s first franchise, let alone blockbuster. And she knows she needs to follow in that sense. There’s a shift in power here - between her and her son. “And I remember Denis saying, ‘It’s not an easy choice to go after and follow the Fremen.’ This is not a safe and comfortable decision, but the decisions are not made by her now. But I do remember that moment,” Ferguson says of that last shot. “We did a couple of different takes, and I will give everything to my Denis, because he’s brilliant. At that point in the story, both Paul and Lady Jessica have been accepted by the Fremen, the indigenous inhabitants of the desert planet Arrakis. I mean, it’s a great character.”ĭespite Paul Atreides being at the center of the film, the last face audiences see at the film’s end is Ferguson’s. But I have to say that was very true to the book, because that was his bible, and he highlights and excels in incredibly important elements for this character and for women. How Timothée responded to me as a mother lifts my character or pushes her down or whatever he decides is also how you build a character. “They kind of come gradually through scenes and also very much through interactions with other people. I very rarely have epiphanies with characters, to be honest,” Ferguson says. Those people include Villeneuve and co-star Jason Momoa, whom she now considers close friends (though it’s not known whether Momoa will return in the second half of the film). He was driving in the car while someone was filming him, and he was just screaming into the phone going, ‘Go, go!’ And his joy, I just started laughing, and I thought, ‘Man, it’s going to be amazing getting back together with these people again.’” “It wasn’t until I got a video call from Josh Brolin. “I didn’t really understand what had happened,” says Ferguson, who stars as Lady Jessica Atreides in the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel. had greenlighted the story’s conclusion after the film’s successful release in October was met with an enthusiastic reaction from the cast and crew. So, the news that Legendary and Warner Bros. When Rebecca Ferguson wrapped production on Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune,” there was no guarantee a Part 2, which had largely been kept a secret - even from the actress - would even go forward.
