It is not a controversial thing to say thatDenis Villeneuve’s adaptation ofDuneis shaping up to be epic. Apparently, it is so epic that its making-of book,The Art and Soul of Duneby executive producerTanya Lapointe, is getting its own soundtrack courtesy of the film’s composerHans Zimmer. io9broke the news, as well as received exclusive looks at the upcoming book’s standard and limited editions. Trust me when I say that you are not prepared for what awaits.
Zimmer was reportedly heavily inspired and captivated by Lapointe’s book. So much so, in fact, that he decided to make its own soundtrack. It, as well as his score for the actual film, will be available to buy and stream whenDunearrives in theaters on October 22.The Art and Soul of Dunewill also be available for purchase on the date.

The standard edition has all the usual makings of such a book. These include cast and crew interviews and behind-the-scenes photography by cinematographerGreig Fraser. However, the limited collection is an absolute juggernaut that will cost you about $600. You’ll get a card signed by starsTimothee ChalametandJosh Brolin, along with Villeneuve, Lapointe, and Fraser. Not only that, but you’ll receive your very own Fremkit booklet seen in the film that has exclusive artwork.
To finish it off, you may read a commentary by Brolin in a way that io9 says is “designed, printed, and hand-bound in a way that ‘reflects the aesthetics of the film.” If that somehow wasn’t enough, the package is wrapped in saifu book cloth with the film’s iconography. With this in mind, it makes sense now that Zimmer felt inspired enough by the book to create its own score. Perhaps he’s using some of theexperimental soundsthat drove everyone involved with the film crazy in this version.
Dune, its scores, and all versions ofThe Art and Soul of Dunearrive on October 22. This absolutely stacked day ensures that the spice will, indeed, flow.
