Robert Pattinson found desert heat "relaxing" while filming 'Dune: Messiah'

Los Angeles, Nov 5 (UNI) Hollywood actor Robert Pattinson shared an unconventional perspective on filming Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune: Messiah', describing the harsh desert conditions as surprisingly "relaxing".
During a recent interview for IndieWire, alongside his Die My Love co-star Jennifer Lawrence, the actor shared his experience shooting Denis Villeneuve‘s upcoming 'Dune: Messiah'.
“When I was doing Dune it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything,” he recalled. “And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating, I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis [Villeneuve]: ‘Whatever you want!’
The film, the third chapter in Villeneuve's monumental 'Dune' saga, will see Pattinson step into a mysterious new role, speculated to be the central antagonist. The production, much like its predecessors, was marked by challenging shooting environments in scorching desert landscapes, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Pattinson isn’t the first Dune star to open up about filming in the desert elements. Zendaya, who plays Chani, previously told W Magazine that she got heatstroke while filming 'Dune: Part Two' in Jordan because she wasn’t drinking enough water. Austin Butler, too, has spoken about the punishing desert temperatures and the physical strain of filming in heavy costumes across vast soundscapes.
'Dune: Messiah' is set to be released on December18, 2026. Returning cast members include Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson and Anya Taylor-Joy.
