Interview with Donald Mowat, “Dune” Makeup Department Head and Makeup, Hair, and Prosthetic Designer

Oscar Wild by Sophia Ciminello & Nick Ruhrkraut

Episode notes

Transport yourself to the world of “Dune” once more through the eyes of Donald Mowat, the film’s Academy Award nominee for Makeup and Hairstyling. He shares some wonderful insight with Nick and Sophia about his long and trusting collaboration with Denis Villeneuve, how he cohesively weaved certain elements between characters and families (i.e. Timothee Chalamet’s luscious locks and Oscar Isaac’s commanding beard), his process in bringing even more terror to the Baron Harkonnen’s presence, and how he planned ahead for “Dune: Part II.”
