The otherworldly beauty
of Jordan's golden sand
dunes flows seamlessly
into the world of Arrakis in
the mesmerizing fantasy
sequel, and The Royal Film
Commission Jordan was
pivotal in capturing the
essence of the desert planet.
The commission, aided by its
skilled location scout team,
worked with government
agencies to secure filming
permits, assisted with
financial incentives, and
partnered with customs
and border authorities
to expedite the entry of
essential filming equipment
into Jordan. Thanks to the
commission's guidance and
partnership, the towering
cliffs and vast sand fields
of Wadi Rum, the expansive
desert valley of Wadi Araba,
and Ma'an Al-Jafr's harsh
beauty enrich and deepen
the story's visuals.

+ MUSIC OFFICE &
TULSA OFFICE OF
FILM – KILLERS OF THE
FLOWER MOON
Oklahoma Film + Music
Office teamed with Tulsa
Office of Film, Music, Arts &
Culture to lead the way as
the first production hub to
reopen during the pandemic,
opening the state's rolling
tallgrass and blistered
ranches as faithful set pieces
to the stark indigenous
drama. While being among
the first to implement new
health and safety protocols,
the offices ensured the that
authenticity of the period
piece was on par with the
production team's and
Osage Nation's expectations
while navigating COVID
restrictions. The office
assisted in identifying
buildings and roads that
could easily be controlled
to portray the era of film
to help contribute to the
film's authenticity, including
transforming downtown
Pawhuska into a 1920's
boomtown, filming at the
Tulsa Federal Building, and
enabling the use of 40,000
acres of protected tallgrass
prairie in Guthrie to set the
feel of the film.
Classic and international gardens, roads,
ponds, mature trees, statues, architecture.
