Christopher Walken Had No Idea His Fatboy Slim Music Video Referenced Dune
By JEREMY SMITH
After four years of not being in a movie, Christopher Walken returns to the big screen as Emperor Shaddam IV in Denis Villenueve’s “Dune: Part Two.”
The film isn't Walken's first brush with the sci-fi classic, as he starred in Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" music video, which references "Dune."
The song's lyric is, "Walk without rhythm, and you won't attract the worm." Walken didn't make the connection to "Dune" until GQ mentioned it in an interview.
The actor stated, “No, you know, that’s the first I’ve heard of that. You telling me right now is the first time I’ve heard that.” Walken then made a connection to the movie.
He said, “In the movie they kind of do that slide and dance, when they walk in the desert, they do that kind of ice skating thing.”
