The monumental and austere, but also syncretic, aspect of the building fit perfectly with the style imagined for the universe of Dune da Villeneuve. At the very end of June, the Brion Tomb had been donated to the Italian Environment Fund, which however immediately announced that it had to close the visits to the public, which will resume on 8 July, in order to allow the film crew to proceed with the works of pre-shooting.

In the meantime, several new entries in the already numerous cast have been announced in recent weeks, such as Léa Seydoux, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken and Austin Butler.
