The release is ahead of schedule! "Dune: Part III" offers limited bonuses, the second wave of pre-sales starts this week

The annual sci-fi epic "Dune: Part 3" has been announced to be released one day ahead of schedule, and it is confirmed to be the first to hit the big screen in Taiwan on December 15th! The second wave of pre-sales will also officially start this week, and a variety of limited edition posters will be launched. Director Danny Villeneuve vowed to create the craziest film in the series, and even spent money to build a 107-meter-long giant sandworm. Robert Pattinson, who joined the film for the first time, said that the set was like a theme park.

Robert Pattinson, who participated in the "Dune" series for the first time, revealed that one of his scenes was filmed in a spaceship set up on a dynamic platform. Not only were there spectacular sand dunes, but a 107-meter-long sandworm model appeared next to it. The sheer scale of it opened his eyes. He described the entire set as having his own theme park, especially the desert shooting environment, which was a big challenge. In addition to enduring high temperatures and exposure, the actors also had to complete their performances in large real-life installations.

Director Danny Villeneuve continued his insistence on "shooting if possible", using real scenes and large-scale models to present the magnificent scenery of the planet Arrakis as much as possible, and then extended the picture through visual special effects to make the sandworms and vast desert more realistic. He also specifically asked the crew to "not repeat what they did in the first two episodes." Everything from the scenes to the music must be innovated. Even the score master Hans Zimmer, who has worked with him for many years, completely recomposed the music, striving to bring a completely different audio-visual experience to the final chapter of the series.

The film team also revealed that "Dune: Part III" opens with a brand-new black sand battlefield. For this purpose, the crew built a giant spaceship weighing 55 tons that can be used by cameras to surround the scene, and even actually buried the hull in the sand to complete the filming. During the process, a large amount of artificial rainfall was used, and water continued to accumulate inside the hull. The crew had to use a large crane to lift the entire 55-ton spacecraft every two days to drain the water before they could continue filming. The scale of the behind-the-scenes project was quite astonishing.

The cast is also star-studded, with Timothée Chalamet, Cynthia, Florence Puy, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson and other original cast members all returning. Anya Taylor-Joy also officially plays Paul's sister Elijah Atreides; Rob Pattinson, who joins for the first time, will play the mysterious key role of Skytel. In addition, Jason Momoa will also return to the "Dune" universe with a new identity as "Hait", and Nakkoa Wolf Momoa and Ada Brooke will join the cast.
