“[Joe] didn’t hear from Hans for a long time. He took a long time to experiment.” Later on, during editing, “we started receiving tons of music for weeks. It was like a big creative rush. It became a storm. When the movie was totally finished, Hans was still sending me music,” he said.
The first part of ‘Dune’ had a box office opening of $41 million, a whopping amount that initiated plans for a sequel within weeks of the film’s release. The film earned $400 million worldwide and took home five Academy Awards.
