crumbs 14,317 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hans Zimmer appeared this morning on the BBC current affairs & arts programme Hard Talk & while chatting to the presenter about his views on whether or not the current state of the the Hollywood machine with the superhero genre is running out of steam, he officially announced he is retiring from the scoring superhero movies. Some interesting comments from Zimmer before the obnoxious presenter keeps cutting him off before he can elaborate on the point he was trying to make. I haven't seen BvS but it sounds like 3 more hours of dreary, joyless misery from Snyder. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/batman_vs_superman/hans-zimmer-officially-retires-from-the-superhero-genre-a132806 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 We all know how reliable this kind of statements are... I expect him to score another superhero movie in less than 5 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I am not surprised if Hans is retires from the genre but am also sure such films are in the safe Holkenborg/Djawadi/Balfe hands even if the master won't be scoring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's done with comic book movies until they add another 0 to the end of his paycheck. I like Zimmer, but I'm okay with this. I haven't cared much for MoS and Amazing Spider-man 2, so I'm ready for him to do something interesting/unexpected/god forbid QUIETER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I don't mean every Zimmer score should sound like Interstellar, just that I like him doing more interesting and different projects. I also just plain don't like any superhero score I've heard from him so there's that. Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,508 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'll take his retirement comment with a grain of salt. I remember before MAN OF STEEL, he said it was "out of the question" to do a SUPERMAN movie -- because it would be impossible to follow in Williams' footsteps, but he did that anyway. My guess is he'll take a break from them, but then return later on -- if the project or filmmaker is interesting enough. As a huge Zimmer fan, I'd rather see him focus his energy on other types of scores -- and hopefully continue his collaboration with Nolan, which always brings out the best in him.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I was disappointed that the Superman theme never really appeared in BvS. And Junkie's Batman theme sucked. They may as well have reused the Batman Begins theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hope he will enrich Star Wars universe in the same way he helped to shape and define modern superhero landscape. After a very nostalgic VII there is a perfect opportunity for this franchise to move on and explore the uncharted territory of a galaxy far far away..

Alex 2,835 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This is probably a good thing if he means what he says. I am growing a bit tired of his contributions to the superhero world to be honest.
