Find how Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet shoot sunset romantic scenes for 'Dune Part 2'

Washington [US], April 28 : Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet realized love and romance in a futuristic universe is not so easy! It needs to be cultivated and discovered in a new way!

The Euphoria star told in a recent interview while filming Dune: Part Two with Chalamet, "It was funny trying to figure out in this futuristic space talk, like, how do they flirt?" reported Hollywood Reporter, a US-based media company.

She said it was difficult at first trying to navigate the relationship between a space warrior and the young duke of a planet. Zendaya added that it was actually "funny because all of us were stumped. I think it's just as foreign to us as it probably is to the characters."

"I was like, Does Ch get awkward?" the Spider-Man: Homecoming actress said. "Does that happen to her? Does she know what that feels like?" according to Hollywood Reporter.

But when shooting romantic scenes specifically in remote desert locations in Abu Dhabi and Jordan, Zendaya said it was like "a ticking timer" trying to capture the shots within one hour each day when sunset was at its peak, known in the industry as the golden hour.

"You kind of feel like, OK, we got here, but we have maybe an hour to get this. So we revisited a bit every day, and over a few days, that gives us a few hours," she explained. "Every time we revisited it, we kind of got to sleep on it and think about it, and come up with a new set of ideas."

Director Denis Villeneuve gave the two stars credit for making it work and finding their version of romance in the Legendary sequel.

"I think something we can all relate to is just love," Zendaya added. "These characters literally live on another planet, right? They're aliens. It was interesting finding these tender moments in such turmoil and chaos."

The second film continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert's acclaimed best-seller Dune. It follows Paul Atreides's (Chalamet) mythic journey as he unites with Ch (Zendaya) and the Fremen to get revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.
