Dune: Part Two (soundtrack)

Last updated

I never left the world of Dune . In fact, I think Denis [Villeneuve] thought I was quite mad, because I kept writing after we finished the first movie. But because I knew the story, I knew the 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.

—  Hans Zimmer [7]

Release

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]

Critical reception

Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.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 cold Harkonnens to balance against the heated score for the Fremen." [8]
