THR sat down with director Denis Villeneuve to discuss how his 10-time Oscar-nominated sci-fi epic is a culmination of his childhood dream: 'I said to myself, 'I would love if I could make a movie for the teenager I was back then''
and his production designer Patrice Vermette were soaring through the sky in a rented helicopter, high above Jordan’s majestic Wadi Rum desert, when they spotted a caravan of black SUVs snaking through the vast, rocky landscape below them.
“Is that another scout?” Vermette remembers shouting as politely as possible over the helicopter’s roar. “No, no,” their guide, a representative from Jordan’s film commission, assured them. “No one else is shooting here now.” Known in Arabic as “the Valley of the Moon,” Wadi Rum is one of the world’s great deserts, famous to film history as the principal shooting location for. Villeneuve had visited the desert a decade earlier, while scouting his breakthrough French Canadian feature, which earned a foreign-language Oscar nomination and his unofficial entrée into Hollywood.
