Surviving the Scorching Heat: Austin Butler’s Experience on the Set of ‘Dune 2’
Austin Butler, known for “Elvis,” shared his ordeal on the set of “Dune: Part Two.” In scorching heat, several suffered heatstroke, making the environment extremely challenging.
The extreme conditions bonded the crew as they battled the discomfort together. Butler’s first scene involved a gladiator match, requiring intense preparation.
He paid close attention to Stellan Skarsgård’s vocal performance to bring his character to life. The harsh environment benefited from a break between the “Dune” films.
Denis Villeneuve, the director, expressed gratitude for the positive energy from the release of “Part One.” “Dune: Part Two” hits theaters on March 1, promising an intense and epic experience.
