2. Inside Giedi Prime
If you are looking for a Giedi Prime-inspired production or event space, you’ll need a venue that’s dark, dingy, and has a polluted look to it. On Peerspace, you can find tons of fantastic warehouses and abandoned building sets that would be perfect to create a Giedi Prime feel. For example, this industrial barn near Atlanta, Georgia, may fit the bill!
3. Sandworm heaven
If the sandworms native to the deserts of Arrakis were to live in the US, where do you think you’d find them? Our bet is there would be at least one across this stretch of desert land in Lancaster, California! Rent out this location on Peerspace for a video production, photoshoot, or event for an affordable rate. Check out all the amazing reviews and photos of this stunning desert venue on Peerspace!
Where was Caladan in “Dune” filmed?
If you want to experience the real sets of “Dune” for yourself — you’ll have to travel far outside the US! For a trip to Caladan, for example, you’ll need to take a flight to Norway. However, it makes sense the film crew chose Norway to represent Caladan, a planet of water. The sandy beaches, extensive boulder fields, and gorgeous fjord coastlines are perfect for depicting Paul’s home planet.
Norway Adventures even offers a eight-day tour where you can explore all the different set locations used to film “Dune.” It includes visiting Runde, Stadlandet (Myresanden), Nordfjordeid, Stryn, Lodalen valley, Geirangerfjord (Seven Sisters), and Ålesund.
Where was Arrakis in “Dune” filmed?
The vast sand dunes of Arrakis in “Dune” exist here on Earth… but not all in one location! “Dune” was filmed in the deserts in the United Arab Emirates and Wadi Rum in Jordan — at least for the parts of the film used to the Fremens’ home of Arrakis!
According to Dune’s director, Denis Villeneuve, in an interview with Stephen Colbert, it was critical they shoot the movie in real deserts rather than using green screens. “My argument was that they didn’t shoot Jaws in a swimming pool,” he told Colbert. “The title is Dune. We needed to be in the real environment.”
