Filming location
Dune 2 was filmed in many countries and regions, mainly to recreate the desolate and magnificent desert planet scenery in **. Here are some of the main filming locations:
Norway: Caladan, the hometown of the Atreides family in the film, was filmed in Norway. In particular, Mount Kinnaklova on the island of Kinn in the town of Flor in the county of Westland, Norway, and Myresanden Beach on the Stadlandet peninsula.
Jordan: Most of the scenes on the desert planet Arrakis were filmed in Jordan's Wadi Rum Protected Area. This area is known for its spectacular desert scenery and is known as the "Valley of the Moon".
UAE: The scene of the wild sand worm was filmed in the Liwa Desert in the southern Arabian Peninsula.
Hungary: The interior scenes of Arrakeen Palace were filmed primarily at the Origo Film Studio in Hungary.
The choice of these locations helped to create the sense of otherworldness and epic visuals desired in the film. Director Denis Villeneuve said in an interview that he wanted to shoot in a real desert to inspire the cast and crew.
