\n New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Renowned film composer Hans Zimmer recently voiced his opinion against the Academy’s decision to disqualify his score for Dune: Part Two <\/em>from Oscars consideration.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline, Zimmer called the ruling “stupid” and explained his reasoning. “It’s not really a sore point,” Zimmer said, adding, “It’s just such a stupid point — how can it be a sore point?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He went on to explain that the Academy’s decision was based on his use of thematic elements from the first ‘Dune’ film in the second installment.<\/p>\n

However, Zimmer argued that the two films are not separate entities but rather two parts of a single story arc.<\/p>\n

“I got disqualified because I was using material from the first movie in the second movie, but it’s not a sequel,” Zimmer explained.<\/p>\n

He added, “It is the completion; both movies are one arc. So was I supposed to take all the character themes away, write new character themes, and develop them? It’s just a stupid rule.”<\/p>\n

The Academy’s eligibility requirements state that a score for an eligible film must comprise a minimum of 35 per cent of the total music in the film.<\/p>\n

For sequels and franchises, the score cannot use more than 20 per cent of the preexisting themes and music from previous installments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zimmer’s comments come after Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve criticised the Academy’s decision earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Villeneuve argued that the two films tell essentially the same story and that Zimmer’s score is an integral part of that narrative.<\/p>\n

“I am absolutely against the decision of the Academy to exclude Hans, frankly, because I feel like his score is one of the best scores of the year,” Villeneuve said, adding, “I don’t use the word genius often, but Hans is one.”<\/p>\n

Zimmer also confirmed that he is working on the score for Dune: Messiah, the third installment in the Dune franchise.<\/p>\n

When asked if he had already begun composing the score, Zimmer coyly replied, “Mmm, maybe.”<\/p>\n
