‘Dune 2’ Spent a Month Shooting Deep in Abu Dhabi Desert to Provide ‘Tactile’ Visuals, Say Denis Villeneuve and Zendaya in Promotional Video (EXCLUSIVE)
'Dune 2' spent a month shooting deep in Abu Dhabi's Liwa Oasis desert, which helped provide its 'tactile' visuals, says director Denis Villeneuve.
“‘Dune’ is about the relationship of humans with nature,” Villeneuve says in the promo that also features testimonials from Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson and cinematographer Greig Fraser, among others. “We had a network of 18 miles of road leading us to different locations where we had tents, catering, construction cranes, telehandlers and everything,” says executive producer Tanya Lapointe. Legendary Pictures also benefited from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission’s (ADFC) generous 30% cashback rebate on production spend within the Emirate.
