Posted: October 17, 2023

Volker Bertelmann, the Oscar-winning composer who scored the acclaimed Netflix film All Quiet on the Western Front, is making his way into the Dune world. Dune female-led spin-off series enlists Oscar-winner in key role


ClutchPoints - Andrew Korpan writes…..Film Music Reporter broke the news that Volker Bertelmann will score the upcoming Dune: The Sisterhood series. The Sisterhood is a female-led series for Max that serves as a prequel to the events of Frank Herbert's Dune book.

Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Shalo Brune-Franklin are set to star in the series.

Denis Villeneuve, who directed the recent adaptations of Dune, will executive produce the female-led spin-off. He's also set to direct the premiere episode.


Volker Bertelmann is an acclaimed composer. He began composing scores for films in 2007 with Wortbrot. Bertlemann has done a variety of films including The Art of Racing in the Rain, Downhill, and The Old Guard.

All Quiet on the Western Front was by-far the biggest success of Bertlemann's career. The Netflix war epic was based on the 1929 novel of the same name and directed by Edward Berger. It was a major awards player, racking up British Academy Film Awards nominations and Oscars. All Quiet on the Western Front was nominated for nine Oscars, winning three (including Best Original Score).

Dune: Part Two - Before Bertlemann can score the Dune series, the second part of Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations of Herbert's book. The film follows the rise of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he teams with Chani (Zendaya) and the Freman. Chalamet and Zendaya are joined by Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård, and Javier Bardem.
 

from PR…..Hauschka — aka  Bertelmann is also set to present his forthcoming album, Philanthropy, out October 20th via City Slang. The moods across Philanthropy, among the most upbeat in the extensive Hauschka catalog, are emboldened by the mischievous “Inventions.” The stunning video was directed by Wataru Sato, and was filmed around various locations in Japan. Hauschka says, “The video provides a captivating glimpse into the multifaceted aspects of everyday life in Japan. It skillfully captures both the fast-paced, hyper-modern lifestyle and the serene moments deeply rooted in its rich history and culture, finding expression in poetry and carpentry. It showcases that there's not one answer, and that joy and serenity can be found in everything, from arts and crafts to the meticulous work of a train conductor.”

Sato adds: "When people from all over the world think of Japan, they probably envision Tokyo with its towering skyscrapers. However, in this video, I've turned our focus to towns and individuals who hold their culture in high regard, and to those who, upon recognizing the beauty of this culture, create something anew. My intention was to highlight that these often overlooked people and cultural aspects play a pivotal role in our society. With Japan's diverse culture and landscapes, we hope that, through the medium of sound, it can be appreciated by audiences worldwide."
