The desert scenes in "Dune" and "Dune: Part Two" were filmed in Wadi Rum, Jordan, and in the Liwa Oasis in the United Arab Emirates. These are actual desert locations and came with their own natural heat. While that made for some brutal filming conditions, it wasn’t the only extreme challenge facing the cast & crew.
Out of the many challenges “Dune: Part Two” presented, the more intimate moments between Paul (Timothee Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) proved particularly tricky.
Shooting a specific scene for “Dune: Part Two” had Florence Pugh feeling terrified.
The intense showdown between Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler's characters had their “Dune: Part Two” co-star Christopher Walken concerned for the actors.
