According to Digital Production Middle East, the producer of the film, Jeffrey Chernov, revealed that he picked Dubai as a location because they were looking for a futuristic landscape; saying, “we came searching for the future and we found it in Dubai. Dubai represents the future of what the frontier would be like in our film, and is an excellent place to shoot the movie, as well as a special opportunity for all of us. This is not just the third of three movies, the movie has a new refreshing twist, and Dubai’s great visuals really fit the story.”
