The role also cements Walken&#8217;s resurgence of late, as the beloved actor has recently appeared in popular streaming shows like <em>Severance<\/em> and <em>The Outlaws<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As many people have noted on social media, Walken&#8217;s addition in <em>Dunes<\/em> fulfills a prophecy cast over two decades ago by Fatboy Slim: His \u201cWeapon of Choice\u201d &#8211; bolstered by a now-legendary video directed by Spike Jonze and starring Walken and his dance moves &#8211; prominently featured the lyric \u201cWalk without rhythm, and it won &#8216;t attract the worm, \u201dwhich is advice doled out in Herbert&#8217;s novel.  Thanks in part to Walken&#8217;s gyrations to the <em>Dunes<\/em> quote, the visual would later win Best Music Video at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fatboy Slim ft.
