Composer Hans Zimmer Talks The Dark Knight Rises And Superman!
Zimmer reveals that he and Chris Nolan are getting to start work on the Batman 3 score, talks about what it's been like to work with the director and shares his thoughts on the new score for Zack Snyder's Superman...
On Starting Work On The Dark Knight Rises: "He was going to come over next week. We start early. I know he's puttering around with ideas, and we sort of sneak up on things." On Working With Chris Nolan: "Working with Chris, he gives me all the freedom in the world and encourages me to go and be daring and unusual and crazy and all those sorts of things and be able to be the sort of emotional center of the film. It's very give and take. I'll start long before he starts shooting. Our conversations start there and it goes both ways: we just have conversations about the movie and less about what the music has to do, and it really comes out of that, whereby I felt that there was a real emotional core to be had and that that was something that the music had to do and I hung on that for dear life." On Whether They Should Create A New Score (Instead Of The Classic John Williams Theme) For Zack Snyder's Superman: "It's a hard one. but I followed one of the most iconic things on 'Batman' with Chris as well, and it's the same thing. You are allowed to reinvent, but you have to try to be as good or at least as iconic and it has to resonate and it has to become a part of the zeitgeist. That's the job. On 'Gladiator' I remember people always talking about 'Spartacus' and I kept telling them, 'When you saw "Spartacus" and how it affected it you, that's how I want a modern audience to be affected by what we do now.' So I think ultimately you're supposed to reinvent."
