26.8.2025 11:02:00 CEST | GlobeNewswire by notified | Press release
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abu Dhabi will again return as a principal shooting location for the next chapter in Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction saga Dune.
Legendary Entertainment confirmed today that production on the highly anticipated third installment will return to Abu Dhabi’s picturesque Liwa desert with its cinematic towering sand dunes and golden expansive horizon to once again capture the essence of the mythical planet of Arrakis. The film will continue the sweeping saga of Paul Atreides and the complex legacy of this empirical rule.
Filming in the desert city will begin later this year with Creative Media Authority Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Film Commission providing essential logistical support, and Image Nation serving as production partner.
