"Desert Chant" begins quietly, with Chalamet humming. Then it opens up into a rousing, epic war chant, setting the tone for the final chapter of Denis Villeneuve's saga.
For Zimmer, returning to Arrakis meant returning to the book that first lit his imagination as a teenager, the same book that, years later, would bond him with Villeneuve.
"When two teenagers are deeply moved by the same novel that lets their imagination run wild, so wild that the mysticism and philosophy that captured their souls never lets them go, they will inevitably meet and become creative brothers," says Hans Zimmer. "For me, the beauty of working on Dune was that it would take me back into a time of being full of youthful imagination, where everything was true and the impossible was possible. I truly believe that Denis and I never stopped dreaming those dreams the book lit like fire in us teenagers, but now we had learned the craft and knowledge, having done a few films, to turn our mental images into reality."
