Maurice-Alexis Jarre (13 September 1924 – 28 March 2009) was a French composer and conductor. Although he composed several concert works, Jarre is best known for his film scores, particularly for his collaborations with film director David Lean. Jarre composed the scores to all of Lean's films from Lawrence of Arabia (1962) on. Notable scores for other directors include The Train (1964), Mohammad, Messenger of God (1976), Lion of the Desert (1981), Witness (1985), Fatal Attraction (1987) and Ghost (1990). Jarre was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Three of his compositions spent a total of 42 weeks on the UK singles chart; the biggest hit was "Somewhere My Love" (to his tune "Lara's Theme", with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster) performed by the Mike Sammes Singers, which reached Number 14 in 1966 and spent 38 weeks on the chart. Jarre was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning three in the Best Original Score category for Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965), and A Passage to India (1984), all of which were directed by David Lean. He also won four Golden Globes, two BAFTA Awards, and a Grammy Award. Description above from the Wikipedia article Maurice Jarre, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
I know that jacobking1 already made a Dune adaptation story for the 1960's but I wasn't sure if he'd want to use Denis Villeneuve's films as the reference for what the characters should look like, so I made this for whether you use the book (which I mostly will), David Lynch's film, Denis Villeneuve's films, or something else as the reference. As for the story which many of you already probably know...Paul Atreides' father Leto is appointed governor of Arrakis by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV and Paul is seen as the Lisan al-Gaib by the planet's local Fremen and after their old enemies House Harkonnen take over the planet with the emperor's aid, Paul leads the Fremen against them and the emperor. Evidently, a film adaptation of this book would work better in multiple parts.
