Robert Pattinson On Filming “Dune,” “Odyssey”

Robert Pattinson is keeping incredibly busy of late.

In late 2024, he filmed “Die My Love,” jumped right into “The Drama,” then onto Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” and the crime drama “Primetime” in the first half of 2025.

That was followed by Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three” for much of the back half of 2025 followed by shooting the Denzel Washington-led “Here Comes the Flood” which just wrapped this past week, and now he’s prepping to start filming “The Batman Part II”.

Both “The Odyssey” and “Dune: Part Three” are expected to be two of the year’s biggest films, and in a recent sit-down interview with GQ he briefly spoke about his experience on them in his trademark offbeat way:

“Definitely not The Odyssey, because I think you get assassinated if you talk about it. But from what I experienced of it, it’s just unbelievable. It was an unbelievable experience. I think one thing I can say: I saw a sheep, and…. Actually, I can’t even say that. I saw a sheep! That’s the only thing I can reveal.

You’ll never experience these things in any other profession. I mean, literally, I was experiencing things which hardly anybody in history has or will ever experience, and it’s just absolutely incredible.

Being out in the desert shooting Dune, it’s weird. I remember shooting a scene with Zendaya, the first scene we shot together out in the desert, I’m like, ‘Oh! We’re, like, in Dune!’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah . . . we’re doing a Dune movie.’ But it really was like, ‘It really feels like you’re in a Dune movie.’ It was really, really fun.”

Zendaya appears both those films as well, along with “The Drama” in which they play the leads. Pattinson also indicates in the interview that he and Zendaya didn’t have any scenes together on “The Odyssey” – the two barely seeing each other on that shoot.

“The Drama” opens in April, “The Odyssey” in July, “Dune: Part Three” in December. A24’s “Primetime” and Netflix’s “Here Comes the Flood” are both expected out in 2026.

Pattinson’s voice can be heard in an uncredited cameo in “Marty Supreme” currently in cinemas and hitting PVOD on February 3rd.
