I wonder if the album tracks will be split like Last of the Mohicans. As I understand it, most of the score was written by both composers, it's not half and half. They sat down together and created the cues. So it'll be hard to blame only Hans for this one if it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgisPodmore 0 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm a little scared that Zimmer is listed first on that ad, but the cover is cool. Aren't the composers' names on the front, though?~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm a little scared that Zimmer is listed first on that ad, but the cover is cool. Why scared? he is just the more well known of the two (to the wide public), mainly because of Lion King. Aren't the composers' names on the front, though? It seems likely to me that this isn't the final art, as the CD itself isn't shown with it's art yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I hadn't heard that. I'd heard that they were working on it together, but Zimmer was busy, so he had one of his proteges fill in for a little while. Can anyone set the story straight?

mahler3 478 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 According to the Jan/Feb issue of FSM the two of them have been wanting to collaborate for many years and are pleased to be finally doing so. This will be a very interesting mind-meld of two A-List composers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxbabe 28 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 One of his MV proteges, Ramin Djawadi, came in to not fill in, but help Zimmer with his stuff because he has several projects going. He was called up to London during sessions to help out.(We had a few, eh, thoughts, on that at the forum. If he's just assisting Zimmer, well whatever, hey, what else would you expect.. LOL)In the Jan FSM, JNH said a couple of things about working with Nolan and how they were approaching the collaboration:Quotes-"Chris [Nolan] is interested in an unconventional score...""...my idea (and what we've talked about the most) is the idea of co-devising certain building blocks of the score which we will then both be able to use independently...""...if I have a certain rhythmic or tonal bed I've written and we sort of exchange them then we're both working with the same elements but perhaps embellishing them differently..."They have wanted to collaborate for years and are good friends, as their studios are very near each other, and have some common interests in the electronic arena (started like 10 yrs ago with them exchanging samples etc)They were going to do Secret Window together, in fact it seemed it was going to be confirmed at one point, but it ended up not fitting into their schedules and they decided to get together for something in the future.It's probably Zimmer (surprise, surprise) that was offered Batman Begins and he invited James Newton Howard onto the project.Anyway, I'm really glad there will be a separate score album. I thought maybe so since that has happened for several other movies lately. I'm looking forward to it, very interested to see what they turn out...Greta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Coscina 4 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I wouldn't say Batman Begins is the most anticipated soundtrack of the summer. More like ROTS or else, War of the Worlds. And not just because I'm an avid John Williams fan.Then there's always King Kong by Shore.....I'm going to have to see BB first before I buy the score. With Williams, I just buy everything he does. I may have done that with BB had Newton Howard been the only composer working on it but I'm not crazy about Zimmer, especially if he's been tapped to provide the bombast part of the score.....ethereal synth pads are his forte.
