Interesting...they've been out a while, but I haven't seen much discussion of it...

The surprising bit is the melodies...don't quite fall into typical Zimmer fare. I actually think he pressed some different keys this time while coming up with the theme.

Heard it a few weeks ago. No idea. I couldn't imagine how the film would be scored before, and these clips are not helping. Todd McCarthy noted that it added extra zing to the proceedings.

the main rythm beat sounds like 'to rouge city'

And also like Denis steals the embryo or the cue from JFK.

in other words Zim cannot beat the turbulent years.

PS: I thought zimmer did not allow to his scores to be sent for nominations?

Agreed.....

Don't suppose anyone has the footage of the original interview laying around anywhere, do they?

Brief clips can be found on youtube. An 88 minute long compilation of the interview (it was over 28 hours long) recently came out on DVD, along with David Frost talking about the interview, as well as Peter Morgan's play and screenplay.

Some 'For Your Consideration' material (including score) can also be found for The Dark Knight, Gran Torino, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at the following URLs:

Strange that it would mention the score for TDK even though they'd been denied. Is that unreleased music playing? It could be from Begins, but it seems unlikely to me they'd reuse themes. Just me, though.

EDIT: No, that's unreleased. There's a part that sounds like a different mix of a part from "A Dark Knight".
