Hans Zimmer Will Score ‘Man Of Steel’

Posted on by

Zack Snyder has worked with composer Tyler Bates on all of his films, but that will change with his Superman reboot Man of Steel. For the Christopher Nolan porduced film Snyder will employ Hans Zimmer.

Zimmer has worked for Nolan on all three Batman films and Inception, so it’s no surprise he got the job on Man of Steel.

Zimmer is no stranger to high profile big budget films. In addition to working for Nolan, Zimmer has scored all of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, The Simpsons Movie, Angels and Demons and both of Guy Rithchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. Check out Zimmer’s IMDB page to see everything he’s done. The dude has one impressive resume.

My questions is, will Zimmer incorporate any of John Williams’ iconic Superman theme? I’ve heard Snyder wants to make this film a complete departure from the previous Supes films, so I’m not holding my breath.

    Crazy… Theres gonna be a direct comparison material between Williams and Zimmer.
    Though I guess it’s unfair to expect Zimmer to match whats now an iconic theme,

    Why didn’t they get John Williams ? Is he dead ? NO…HE’S 80 YEARS OLD….very much alive !!! He’ll be scoring Speilberg’s Lincoln next.

    Well if one thing’s for sure now, it’s that this score will be amazing

    I absolutely *love* John Williams’ iconic score for the first “Superman”, but I can understand Snyder wanting to start fresh. Part of my problems with “Superman Returns” was that it paid TOO MUCH homage to the Donner films instead of standing on its own two feet.

    They want to separate this film from what series. You might hear a cue or two in the background but that is most likely it.

    Okay, I’ll allow it. But you gotta put bombast in it, Zimmer! Draw from the older Superman themes before the movies! There’s plenty there!

    Watched the new Man of Steel trailer. Hans Zimmer gives a lot of weight and is the right tone for the direction they are going in.
