Science fiction epic "Dune", a mammoth adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel, led nominations for the British Academy Film Awards on Thursday, securing 11 nods.
"Dune" was extensively filmed in the Liwa desert in Abu Dhabi over 11 days with a team of local and international talent.
Following the 11 Bafta nominations, Hans Fraikin, Abu Dhabi Film Commissioner said, "Abu Dhabi Film Commission is proud that the incredible natural landscape of Liwa, which doubled for the desert planet Arrakis, is one of the stars of ‘Dune’.
"We have no doubt that the exquisite way it was captured is one of the reasons behind the nomination for Best Cinematography at this year’s Baftas. On behalf of everyone who worked on the film in Abu Dhabi, I’d like to congratulate Denis Villeneuve and the cast and crew of ‘Dune’ on all their Bafta nominations and wish them luck."
Dark Western "The Power of the Dog" and black and white drama "Belfast" followed, with eight and six nominations respectively.
