  • Zimmer won an Oscar for the first 'Dune' movie's score in 2022, and doesn't expect to win again for the sequel, but he's concerned about the rules that may deem his work ineligible.
  • Zimmer argues that 'Dune: Part One' and 'Dune: Part Two' should be considered one continuous story, like 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, and says he had the entire musical arc planned out from the beginning.
