“Dune: Part III” continues the production path of prioritizing real-life scenes. The director requested extensive renovations to the design, and used amazing equipment such as a giant sandworm and a 55-ton spacecraft to create the most insane scenes in the series.
The “Dune” film series has begun its final chapter, “Dune: Part Three.” Director Denis Villeneuve declared outright, “The goal is to make the craziest thing in the series!” Not only did he insist on using a large number of real scenes to create the world of “Dune”, he also refused to repeat existing designs from the first two episodes. Even the music was completely reworked by Hans Zimmer.
Actor Robert Pattinson, who joined the show for the first time, revealed that he was completely shocked by what he saw when he arrived on set. The crew actually built a giant sandworm model that was over 100 meters long. He couldn’t help but describe the scale of the entire set as “as if it had its own theme park.”
Rob Pattinson, who first participated in the film “Dune”, said that one of his scenes was shot in a spaceship installed on a moving stage. Not only were there huge sand dunes all around him, but a 107 meter long sandworm model also appeared right next to him. Standing on the set was enough to realize the director’s ambition and the astonishing scale of the production.
He admitted that these scenes were so large that they were almost beyond imagination, especially the shooting environment in the desert, which was another extreme challenge. In addition to enduring high temperatures and exposure, the actors also had to complete complex performances in huge real-life settings.
The crew also continued director Denis Villeneuve’s consistent production spirit of “shooting if possible”, using real scenes and large models to provide the actors with the most direct performance environment, and then using visual special effects to expand the picture, instead of relying solely on computer generation, making the giant sandworms and the vast desert of Arrakis once again loom on the big screen with a greater sense of weight and oppression.
The film team also mentioned in a recent interview that Danny Villeneuve had a request “not to repeat what was done in the first two episodes.” So, “Dune: Part 3” opens with a brand new black sand battlefield. The crew also built a giant spacecraft weighing 55 tons with a camera that could circle the scene, and actually buried it in the sand to complete filming.
What’s even more strange is that this scene was accompanied by a large amount of artificial rainfall. During filming the huge hull continued to accumulate water. In fact the crew had to use a large crane to lift the entire 55-ton spacecraft every two days, and then drain the interior water before filming could continue. The engineering behind the scenes alone was like another real desert battle.
