Origo Film Studios in Budapest

Budapest, Hungary

Most of Dune was filmed in Budapest at Origo Film Studios. This studio has also been the filming location for popular moviಌes such as Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and Poor Things (2023).

While not every scene was filmed at the studio, much of the principal photography took place in Budapest. For example, practical explosions for the movie were filmed in backlots in Budapest.

How did Dune create a desert-planet environment though? The deserts of Arrakis were set in Wadi Rum, Jordan. This is a massive valley with sandstone and granite rocks. Interestingly, this has been used as a filming location for several shows and movies. This includes Moon Knight, John Wick: Chapter 4, and The Martian, to name a few.
