Popular Post crumbs 14,314 Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 John Barry must be rolling in his grave. Seriously depressing news but we all saw this coming a mile off (especially after the obviously Zimmer-fied trailer). So another few million in the bank for a few hours work, before he hands the rest off to his assistants. Laughable that the article mentions he might need to "enlist help" to have the score ready to record by next month. Ya think?!

HunterTech 994 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 On 11/27/2019 at 7:01 AM, Edmilson said: "Sources had told us that Hans Zimmer was seen entering the EON offices. Apparently, the Academy Award winner composer had been lobbying for his Remote Control composers to score the upcoming James Bond blockbuster No Time to Die. He said to the producers that he will arrange his own version of the iconic James Bond Theme and be one of the collaborators on the theme song, to be performed by Pharrell Williams, while most of the score will be composed and arranged by Benjamin Wallfisch, Steve Mazzarro, Andrew Kawczynski, Lorne Balfe and Junkie XL, although they will be credited as "Additional Composers". So how long before the rest of this post becomes a reality? The people of HZ.com suspect Wallfisch might be the most likely assistant on this project.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Meh, the producers got scared and went crying to Zimmer. I'm not that surprised. I look forward to hearing the score, but as this is going to be rushed, I don't expect anything exciting. The real question is how many other composers will actually write this. It also means the director will have to come out with some clearly bullshit 'it was amazing working with Zimmer' statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quppa 117 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I went into Spectre with high expectations based on the cast and crew and was disappointed, but maybe my low hopes for this troubled production will be exceeded. Searching for silver linings here: I'm kind of glad David Arnold wasn't asked back as a last minute replacement - better he be involved from the outset, and ideally working in tandem with the title theme writer(s). Zimmer didn't return to Mission: Impossible or Spider-Man, so here's hoping we'll get someone more appropriate to usher in the post-Craig era.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Zimmer is without a doubt the biggest and most influential film composer since Max Steiner and Korngold, perhaps of all time.

He's Dead To Me. Seems like the tracklist of the Zimmer NTTD OST, lol. And this is really weird. Zimmer passed on scoring Nolan's Tenet because he wanted to have more time to dedicate to Dune. However, Tenet and Dune will premiere 5 months apart from each other. Meanwhile, NTTD is less than 2 months away from the three movies he will do for the summer season. Oh, yeah, I remembered it's Zimmer we're talking about. Probably NTTD, WW84, Top Gun 2 and SpongeBob (!) will be handled by his minions, while he spents the whole year creating something ~unique~ for Dune. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Romer's score will always be a "Who knows! Maybe it would've been good!" Zimmer's score will at least be less snooze-worthy than Newman's efforts hopefully. I'm a Newman fan, but those scores are both unsatisfactory as Newman music and unsatisfactory as Bond music.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Zimmer's probably thinking about which of his buddies to phone for a 'coilaboration'.

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 So presumably Zimmer will do the most high-profile 'prestigious' bit himself (the Bond theme arrangement) and the rest of it will be palmed off onto his lackeys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
