Description

2-time Academy Award®-winning composer Hans Zimmer joins us on the podcast to discuss his work on “Dune: Part Two,” after winning an Oscar for his score to the first installment of the sci-fi franchise, directed by Denis Villeneuve. And like Denis, Hans had been dreaming about working on these films since he was a boy. And he also knew he wanted to take them in a less traditional direction, sonically:“These were the things which probably had been on my mind ever since I read the book. It's just… I never had the opportunity to try them. I could never understand why, in a science fiction movie — I loved them all — but why we would hear a sort of a European orchestral sound. Why the strings? Why the French horns? Everything else looked futuristic. Everything else was different. Except the music still stuck to the rules of the romantic period. I'm not criticizing it. There's nothing I love more than ‘Alien’ or ‘Star Wars.’ They're phenomenal things. But I saw my duty very much as going beyond that.”—Hans Zimmer, Composer, “Dune: Part Two”Be sure to check out “Dune: Part Two,” now in theaters, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®, where available.Don’t miss our previous episode this week, with “Dune” cinematographer Greig Fraser, available in our podcast feed.
