Today Warner Bros. has released a just over three minute video of a live performance of the Academy Award-winning soundtrack to "Dune," with composer Hans Zimmer himself on electric guitar (and the sound mix board) -- and oh my gosh, I want to see this group perform the entire thing. I will give you all my monies. Please take them and give this to my ear holes and eyeballs. I have shouted my love for "Dune" over social media, and though the classic Frank Herbert novel it's based on wasn't my thing, I am devoted to this film. One of the reasons is the incredible soundtrack from Zimmer.

Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" has been nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards including best picture, and rightly so. I have a deep and unabashed love for this film, which is interesting since I don't love the book. I do have great respect for the worldbuilding, but the film just moved me in a way that Frank Herbert's novel didn't. We have "Dune: Part Two" being worked on, and how that wasn't greenlit the second the studio saw the first cut of "Dune" is an unfathomable mystery to me.

Adapting Frank Herbert's sprawling sci-fi saga, "Dune," is nothing short of a Herculean task, and Denis Villeneuve succeeded in doing the same with the help of screenwriter Eric Roth. Roth is a major player in the screenwriting arena, having adapted numerous books for the screen, including "Forrest Gump," "The Insider," and "Munich." In a recent interview with IndieWire, Roth spoke about how he scrapped his opening to Villeneuve's "Dune," which had Biblical connotations, and mostly had to be removed due to budgetary/thematic reasons.'Then God Created ...
