In a recent interview with Variety, Zimmer revealed that the work on the score for “Dune” is still in the very early stages. Which is interesting, considering the reshoots planned for…

Fans of our dear Grandpa George have been wondering if perhaps the worldwide shutdown of pretty much everything would FINALLY ENCOURAGE HIM TO FINISH THE WINDS OF WINTER.
