Work on Denis Villeneuve’s Dune has been continuing behind closed doors following the Coronavirus pandemic. But now actor Oscar Isaac (via SuperHeroHype) has revealed that the cast will soon be going back to work.
Principal photography on the sci-fi epic completed in July 2019, long before the pandemic shut down Hollywood. But with the editing process continuing it has been decided to reconvene the cast to shoot some additional scenes.
Speaking with Deadline Isaac said “We’re going to do some additional shooting in mid August… they’re saying in Budapest in Hungary. I saw some things cut together and it just looks amazing. Denis [Villeneuve] is a real artist and it will be exciting to see it come together. It’s kind of wild that we’re doing some additional shooting a few months before it’s supposed to come out, but that happened with Star Wars as well.”
Dune stars Timothee Chalamet in the lead role of Paul Atreides. He will be joined by Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Zendaya as Chani, Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Stellan Skarsgard as Baron Harkonnen, Dave Bautista as “The Beast” Rabban, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho and Charlotte Rampling as the Reverend Mother.
The film is slated for a December 18, 2020 worldwide release.
