Well, the late Jóhann Jóhannsson is unfortunately no longer an option, though he might have been quite an interesting choice. So then, who should compose the epic score that finally launches this seminal series properly into the mainstream popular consciousness? I suppose Hans Zimmer and/or Benjamin Wallfisch ought to have the inside track, and quite frankly either or both would likely prove worthy of the task. What would really be most appropriate is if Vangelis got the gig as reparation for not being tapped for Villeneuve's "Blade Runner 2049". I should think Graeme Revell and Brian Tyler are out of any level of consideration due to the fact that both already did some of their career best work for the old Sci-Fi Channel mini-series. And needless to say Toto ain't returning, though their score was the singular best thing to come from David Lynch's rather miserable Dune adaptation. As here we can hopefully have a little fun speculating on who might compose the perfect regal/ethnic Dune soundtrack of their dreams, I'll cite and tentatively rank some of the options and my top picks for making the Spice flow: 01. Vangelis 02. Hans Zimmer 03. Clint Mansell 04. Peter Gabriel 05. David Arnold 06. John Murphy 07. Elliot Goldenthal 08. Christopher Young 09. James Newton Howard 10. John Debney 11. Marco Beltrami 12. Tom Holkenborg 13. Eric Serra 14. Thomas Newman 15. Trevor Jones 16. Howard Shore 17. Abel Korzeniowski 18. Benjamin Wallfisch 19. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross 20. Edward Shearmur 21. Craig Armstrong 22. Dario Marianelli 23. Alan Silvestri 24. Daniel Pemberton 25. Ilan Eshkeri 26. Bear McCreary 27. Max Richter 28. Ludwig Göransson 29. John Powell 30. Carter Burwell 31. Trevor Morris 32. Blake Neely 33. Jeff Russo 34. Harry Gregson-Williams 35. Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil 36. Patrick Doyle 37. Steve Jablonsky 38. Richard Harvey 39. Javier Navarette 40. Lisa Gerrard 41. Patrick Cassidey 42. Danny Elfman 43. Michael Giacchino 44. Geoff Zanelli 45. Mark Mancina 46. Lorne Balfe 47. Atli Örvarsson 48. Cliff Martinez 49. Angelo Badalamente 50. Elia Cmiral 51. Trevor Rabin 52. Joel McNeely 53. Christopher Lennertz 54. Bruce Broughton 55. David Newman 56. Ramin Djawadi 57. Alexandre Desplat 58. Tyler Bates 59. Rupert Gregson-Williams 60. Johnny Greenwood 61. David Gilmore, Nick Mason, Roger Waters (*never ever ever gonna happen) 62. Hildur Guðnadóttir 63. Daft Punk 64. M83 65. Tomandandy So, before an official announcement, who would you imagine as the ideal composer for the dark palace corridors and perilous desert vistas of Frank Herbert's dense science fiction magnum opus of political intrigue and messianic prophecy?

I like Pink Floyd and Daft Punk being thrown out here. How exciting it would be to hear what either could bring to this movie. I think there are some other great options out there: James Newton Howard Bear McCreary Christopher Young (I think he could really surprise us) And, of course, John Williams. I don't know if he'd be my first choice, but he could would provide some wonderful themes, I'm sure. Has anyone mentioned Harry Gregson-Williams? His work on Kingdom of Heaven was wonderful.

Giacchino would be ideal of course; McCreary would probably be quite good too. Tyler's last crack at the Dune universe was great, still some of his best work, so I wouldn't be opposed to hearing what else he could do in that vein.

I don't know who. But Dune, as I remember the book, is full of the kind of thinking embodied by deeply embedded cult group-thought. The music would have to invent a way of sifting through all those nether regions, as well as provide a unique theme to encompass the whole. Not since John Williams' Star Wars score has this been done, although do correct me if you think I'm wrong. If anything, the Dune universe would have to outdo Star Wars, because in all honesty, the sheer number of competing 'attitude states' involved is so much greater. If anything, Star Wars is a subset of Dune. Do you do this with symphonic, electronic or a mish-mash? Star Wars did it more or less exclusively with a polished brass end. Could you do the same for the Dune environment? What I guess I'm saying is that the music of Star Wars is a major player in the whole thing and helped to lop it an extra 100 miles. I'd say that if the music for Dune II could be expansively woven into the fabric of the film in the same way then it's a winner. Could a duplicated effort be forthcoming? Not likely, but who's to say?
