- Greig Fraser, cinematographer of Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), suggested to shoot the sequence on Giedi Prime (the Harkonnen homeworld) with infrared cameras to give the skin a translucent texture.
- Feyd-Rautha's fight on Giedi Prime is seen in a black-and-white infrared color palette, apparently induced by a black sun that the planet orbits around. This is the first time the Giedi's sun is shown in a Dune adaptation. However the description in the book of a "planet of the black sun" is likely to be metaphorical, as all stars emit light, and a planet receiving no light would not be able to sustain life.
- The language used often times by the Fremen is named Chakobsa in the novels, which derives from the real-life Arabic, although also contains parts of French, Greek, Romani and Slavic, including heavy alterations from Hebrew and Sanskrit.
- Lady Jessica's facial tattoos are the Bene Gesserit litany against fear.
- Stephen McKinley Henderson and Tim Blake Nelson filmed scenes for the film as Thufir Hawat and Count Hasimir Fenring respectively, but ultimately were cut entirely from the finished film. The two receive a "special thanks" in the ending credits.
