Who does Austin play in Dune 2?
In what marks a major departure from being one of the world’s most influential musicians, Austin’s latest role is as the wily Fade-Rout in Dune: Part 2.
Just by watching the trailer, the shaven-headed Austin looks almost unrecognizable and quite scary. According to Dune 2 co-star Dave Bautista, Austin got rid of the southern accent that many fans say he hasn’t lost since playing Elvis.
“I don’t know who this guy is, but it’s not Austin Butler. This is not Elvis. He has a different voice, a different appearance. Everything about him is terrible,” Dave told USA Today.
What did Austin Butler say about playing Elvis?
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he bluntly said: “When I started the process, I wanted my voice to be the same. It inspires fear. So lit the fire. A year before filming started, I studied vocals.”.
Explaining how he studied Elvis films and concerts, he added: “I saw as much as I could, over and over. I feel a great responsibility to Elvis and (his ex-wife) Priscilla and (his daughter) Lisa Marie and to all the people around the world who love him so much.”.
Baz Luhrmann also told GQ that he sees the connection between actor and character in other ways. “Elvis was a very spiritual person. And I think Austin has a really spiritual quality to him. He has a very sensitive and deep inner life. He is very charming on the outside, but you know he has deep thoughts on the inside.”.
At a special screening of Elvis at London’s Ham Yard Hotel, Austin said of preparing for the role: “I looked at Elvis and saw an icon, a superhero. These things are not human. I had to take it all away.”.
He sometimes said that playing Elvis was like “a boy who wears his father’s suit”also worry if “could match Elvis’ magnetism”. We’d say he did a pretty good job.
