Pictures Unveil Dune: Part Three Trailer and Behind-the-Scenes Images Showcasing Abu Dhabi as Arrakis The Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC) also shared new behind-the-scenes images from filming in Abu Dhabi's pristine Liwa Desert for _Dune: Part Three_, featuring Denis Villeneuve with cast and crew on location and showcasing the continued partnership between the Commission and Legendary across all three films over the past seven years. Across the franchise, Liwa's sweeping, otherworldly landscapes have brought Arrakis to life and helped define some of its most iconic cinematic moments. _Dune: Part Three_ brings Denis Villeneuve's trilogy to a breathtaking conclusion, set nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seized control of the Imperium. Now a ruthless Emperor, Paul must face the consequences of his reign as old allies return, terrifying new threats emerge, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Haunted by visions of Imperial collapse and the reappearance of his long-lost love, Paul is drawn into a sweeping conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of its unfolding mystery. As rebellion brews and enemies close in, Paul must confront the true cost of power and the fate of those he loves the most. Grand in scale and intimate in emotion, _Dune: Part Three_ delivers a powerful and poetic conclusion to one of the defining epics of our time. Building on the visual legacy established in _Dune_ (2021) and _Dune: Part Two_ (2024), Abu Dhabi's dramatic desert landscapes once again play a central role in bringing the world of Arrakis to life. _"The opportunity to again work with the incredible cast and crew from_ Dune: Part Three _as Abu Dhabi's Liwa Desert stars as Arrakis for Denis Villeneuve's culminating installment was really a poignant and pivotal moment for the entire creative ecosystem of Abu Dhabi. Over 600 UAE-based individuals were involved with the 31 day shoot, from six interns and 38 residents in crowd scenes to 206 local crew and 336 individuals from our wider creative industry including caterers and drivers, the impact of_ Dune: Part Three _is enormous. We, like the rest of the world, are now on an exciting countdown journey to the 16 December when we'll see the fruition of so many individual efforts, which united to provide a seamless collaboration with Legendary Entertainment."_ commented **Sameer Al Jaberi, Head of Abu Dhabi Film Commission**. _"__Returning to Abu Dhabi's Liwa Desert for_ Dune: Part Three _was never in doubt. I can't think of any place else in the world that provides such stunning imagery, as well as the support we've received from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission and our partners there across all three films. The people, crew, and resources in Abu Dhabi made an incredibly difficult undertaking feel comfortable and easy, and the attention to detail and care shown to our cast and crew was exceptional,"_ said **Herb Gains, EVP of Physical Production, Legendary Entertainment.** _Dune: Part Three_ was supported by Creative Media Authority Abu Dhabi (CMA) and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, with Image Nation Abu Dhabi serving as a production partner and Epic Films as the local production services provider. The production also benefited from Abu Dhabi's cashback rebate program and 206 highly skilled local crew including 12 stunt performers who were joined by 336 local contractors and drivers, underscoring the emirate's continued growth as a premier destination for large-scale international filmmaking. The 31 day shoot in Abu Dhabi, which included two days in Al Ain, also required the assistance of 38 individuals to support with on-camera crowd scenes whilst six young, talented interns supported in production roles off-camera. _"Working with some of the world's leading film creatives and being able to bring the authenticity of how a nation works harmoniously within a desert environment gave me great pride as an Emirati, and now to be able to see our beautiful local landscapes and talent on screen will build upon this pride as the world sees Arrakis on screens again,"_ said **Mohamed F Mostafa, Stunt Performer, Dune: Part Three.** _"The enduring relationship between Legendary Entertainment and the Abu Dhabi Film Commission spans more than a decade and reflects a shared commitment to supporting world-class productions.
