Robert Pattinson is currently promoting his new film Die, My Love, which is set to hit the theatres on November 7. During the ongoing promotions, the actor recalled his challenging shooting experience
for his next movie, Dune: Part Three, with director Denis Villeneuve. He revealed experiencing a relaxed state despite working under extreme heat.
In a recent interview, Robert Pattinson reflected on the filming days for Dune: Part Three in a hot desert. He revealed that the harsh, hot weather there made it unbearable for the entire cast and crew to function properly. “When I was doing Dune, it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything,” Pattinson said as reported by Deadline.

The 39-year-old further discussed how, despite the weather conditions there, he was experiencing a relaxed state of mind. Elaborating on the reason behind the same, he continued, “And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating. I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was listening to Denis Villeneuve, ‘Whatever you want!'”
Dune 3’s filming reportedly began in Abu Dhabi’s Liwa desert in late 2025, with support from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission and Creative Media Authority. It is expected to continue there, while principal photography also commenced at Origo Film Studios in Budapest, Hungary.
