While most of the big-budget superhero flicks may be having a hard time making an impact on the big screen, Rebecca Ferguson’s Dune: Part Two is continuously attracting audiences from their homes to the cinemas to experience it. Made by director Denis Villeneuve, the film so far has surpassed both critical and box office predictions within its first week since release.
And as was the case with the first film in the series, this too is being called a visual masterpiece with so many elements and environments flowing together. Coming to one of the key components of the film’s narrative, the striking look of the Water of Life in the story was something that Ferguson allegedly takes credit for since she suggested the director use Kosako Vodka Mora Azul or UV Blue Raspberry Flavored Vodka to achieve the eye-catching blue color of the mystical liquid.
Rebecca Ferguson Suggested Use Of Blue Vodka To Achieve The Color Of The Water Of Life In Dune: Part Two
The role of Lady Jessica in the recently released Dune: Part Two wasn’t an easy feat to achieve, yet actress Rebecca Ferguson has nailed the portrayal of the character as fans can witness for themselves in theatres.
Not only did her efforts go into her performance, but her suggestion on what to use to recreate the Water of Life from the books into the film was also taken up by director Denis Villeneuve swiftly.
This piece of information about the Silo actress is a popular rumor, where it states that the luminous blue shade that the liquid was thanks to her suggesting the use of Kosako Vodka Mora Azul, which is a brand of Vodka that has the same electric blue color that the Water of Life had in the film, while other rumors claim that it was UV Blue Raspberry Flavored Vodka. The rumor also states that this was a quick idea that she came up with.

It’s claimed that the night before she was to shoot the scene where she consumes the liquid for the first time, she suggested the use of this drink as the liquid infused with dizzying amounts of spice in the film to the Arrival director. Thus, while it’s obvious that it must’ve been diluted to get rid of the buzz of alcohol, she may have got a taste of fine vodka on such a massive production while filming.
How Did Dune: Part Two Become A Day One Success?
The biggest factor in Dune: Part Two taking the box office by storm has to do with the success and continuation of the narrative from the first film, which was the bar set by the audience in terms of expectations.
And those expectations were far surpassed when the film hit the theatres with everything that the fans loved in Dune: Part One dialed up to the extreme. From the exponential refinement in the visual effects to the impactful development of the characters as well as the entire narrative of the story, this film became a new milestone of cinematic excellence in modern times.
