\n\tWhile some may find the intense desert heat grueling, Robert Pattinson<\/a> actually found it \u201crelaxing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent interview for IndieWire<\/a>, alongside his Die My Love co-star Jennifer Lawrence<\/a>, the actor shared his experience shooting Denis Villeneuve<\/a>\u2018s upcoming Dune: Messiah<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I was doing Dune it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn\u2019t question anything,\u201d he recalled. \u201cAnd it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn\u2019t operating, I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis [Villeneuve]: \u2018Whatever you want!\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile details surrounding Pattinson\u2019s character in the third installment of the sci-fi franchise have been kept under wraps, sources previously told The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>that the Twilight alum would likely be playing the chief villain in the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tPattinson isn\u2019t the first Dune star to open up about filming in the desert elements<\/a>. Zendaya, who plays Chani, previously told W Magazine <\/a>that she got heatstroke while filming Dune: Part Two in Jordan because she wasn\u2019t drinking enough water. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was very hot, and I remember thinking, \u2018Oh, man, the bathrooms are so far away,\u2019 because we had to hike to the locations,\u201d she recalled. \u201cIf you have to pee, you need at least 10 minutes to get out of the costumes. I was like, Damn, I don\u2019t want to drink too much water. I had such a fear of peeing myself or shitting myself, honestly, in the suit on set.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tZendaya continued, \u201cOne day, I didn\u2019t drink enough and I had a heatstroke. I felt so barfy. I remember calling my mom on the bathroom floor, saying, \u2018I feel terrible.\u2019 She was like, \u2018Did you drink water today?\u2019 I said no. I thought I was being smart, but you can\u2019t do that. So, lesson learned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAustin Butler, who portrayed villain Feyd-Rautha in the second installment, also previously shared his experience working in what he described as an \u201cuncomfortable environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was 110 degrees and so hot,\u201d he explained to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI had the bald cap on, and it was between two soundstages that were just these gray boxes of 200-foot walls and sand.\u00a0It became like a microwave.\u00a0There were people passing out from heatstroke. And that was just my first week.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDune: Messiah\u00a0is set to be released on Dec. 18, 2026. Returning castmembers include Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson and Anya Taylor-Joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While some may find the intense desert heat grueling, Robert Pattinson actually found it \u201crelaxing.\u201d During a recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,1439,154528,134,344,13678],"class_list":{"0":"post-263643","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-denis-villeneuve","11":"tag-dune-messiah","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-robert-pattinson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
