2024 soundtrack album by Hans Zimmer
Dune: Part Two (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is thesoundtrack album composed and arranged byHans Zimmer for the 2024 filmDune: Part Two byDenis Villeneuve . It was released byWaterTower Music on February 23, 2024, one week before the film's theatrical release in the United States.
ComposerHans Zimmer had previously scored directorDenis Villeneuve 's 2021 filmDune , for which he received theAcademy Award for Best Original Score in 2022 .[ 1] [ 2] He had been a fan ofthe novel in his teenage years, and chose to score the first film overChristopher Nolan 'sTenet .[ 3] [ 4]
After scoring the first film, Zimmer continued writing music in anticipation for its sequel.[ 5] [ 6]
I never left the world ofDune . In fact, I thinkDenis [Villeneuve] thought I was quite mad, because I kept writing after we finished the first movie. But because I knew the story, I knewthe book , I knew what was coming our way. And in fact, a lot of the main themes in this second movie were written at the end of the first film, before Denis started shooting. It felt important to carry on writing when we were still in the same spirit, the same frame of mind.
Ahead of the soundtrack's release,WaterTower Music released two singles on February 15, 2024: "A Time of Quiet Between the Storms" and "Harvester Attack".[ 7]
Brian Tallerico ofRogerEbert.com wrote, "Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning score felt a bit overdone to me in the first film, but he smartly differentiates the cultures here, finding more metallic sounds for the coldHarkonnens to balance against the heated score for theFremen ."[ 8]
All tracks are written byHans Zimmer .
