Robert Pattinson Shares Experience Of Filming Dune 3 In The Desert

In a conversation with IndieWire, Pattinson said, "When I was doing Dune it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything. And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating. I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis [Villeneuve]: ‘Whatever you want!'"The actor will play the antagonist in the film co-starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson and Anya Taylor-Joy. Earlier, Austin Butler, who played the villainous Feyd-Rautha in Dune: Part Two, told Entertainment Weekly, "It was 110 degrees and so hot. I had the bald cap on, and it was between two soundstages that were just these gray boxes of 200-foot walls and sand. It became like a microwave. There were people passing out from heat stroke. And that was just my first week." "It really bonds the entire crew. There’s something so humbling about being in such an uncomfortable environment," Butler added.

More About Dune 3

Dune: Messiah is set 12 years after the first Dune book. Though he would end his association with the franchise, the director Denis wants someone else to take over. He said in an earlier interview, "Listen, if Dune: Messiah happens, it will have been many years for me on Arrakis, and I would love to do something else. I think that it would be a good idea for me to make sure that, in Messiah, there are the seeds in the project if someone wants to do something else afterwards, because they are beautiful books. They are more difficult to adapt. They become more and more esoteric. It’s a bit more tricky to adapt, but I’m not closing the door. I will not do it myself, but it could happen with someone else."
