The Making of Book For Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE Includes a Musical Score That Hans Zimmer Wrote For It
There’s a making of book coming out for Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. There are two versions of the book and they are titled The Art and Soul of Dune and The Art and Soul of Dune: Limited Edition.
The book is so epic that Hans Zimmer wrote a musical score just for the book. Yes, this book has its own soundtrack.
The book was written by Dune executive producer Tanya Lapointe, and it’s “a visually dazzling exploration of the filmmaking process that gives unparalleled insight into the project’s genesis—from its striking environmental and creature designs to its intricate costume concepts and landmark digital effects. The Art and Soul of Dune also features exclusive interviews with key members of the cast and crew, including director/co-writer/producer Denis Villeneuve, stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac, and many more, delivering a uniquely candid account of the hugely ambitious international shoot.”
The Limited Edition version of the book is “a deluxe edition of the book. The book comes in an ornate, exclusive cloth cover, foil-stamped with the House Atreides and Harkonnen symbols. It contains an exclusive companion volume titled simply Dune, featuring the candid and intimate on-set photography by the film’s Academy Award-nominated director of photography, Greig Fraser, accompanied by Dune actor Josh Brolin’s personal perspective and recollections of the production. It also contains a unique, cloth-bound reproduction of the Fremkit instruction booklet prop created for the movie, featuring 80 pages of exclusive unseen art from the film.”
This movie looks like a visually stunning film and it’ll be cool to see all of the pre-visual work that was done to bring it to life in this book. I collect these kinds of making of movie books and this is going to be a must own!
The books will be released on October 22nd and it will be avilable for purchase at InsightEditions.com.
