something funny and highly specific to consider about feyd-rautha from a meta perspective is that all of the actors who have played him either are musicians or have played a musician.

in lynch's dune, feyd is played by Sting, lead vocalist and songwriter for The Police.

in jodorowsky's planned adaptation of dune, feyd was planned to be played by (and his design highly based on) Mick Jagger.

in villeneuve's dune, feyd is played by Austin Butler, who shot to fame for his portrayal of Elvis.

also worth noting: all three of these musicians have — to a certain degree — an element of rebelliousness and sex appeal that characterises their 'on-stage' persona.

i mean, just take a look at this quote about Mick Jagger from Philip Norman's symphony for the devil: the rolling stones story:

"[...] his conflicting and colliding sexuality: the swan's neck and smeared harlot eyes allied to an overstuffed and straining codpiece."

FEYD GETS STUNG!

"There were a couple of scenes [in Dune (2021)] that were all about the training technique. There was one scene that I was quite sad they cut away. There are physical training methods, where Jessica teaches Paul the art of fighting with the knives that he later uses on Jamis [the Fremen warrior played by Babs Olusanmokun]" - Rebecca Ferguson for The Hollywood Reporter
