Ridley Scott is going to film the movie "Kitbag" which shows the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of the French. Napoleon will be played by no other then Joaquin Phoenix.
Immediatly i've started to dream, that Hans would complete this dream-team and to score the movie. Any chances here that Hans could be a candidate?

Looking at Ridley's recent work, the more realistic choice is either Harry Gregson-Williams or Marc Streitenfeld seeing as he re-joined Ridley for Raised by Wolves.
MrZimmerFan
2020-10-15 13:13:07
Or Pemberton.
Harry Gregson-Williams maybe not, after what happen in Covenant and Marc Streitenfeld is an off and on choice.
Randy Watson
2020-10-20 08:02:27
Pemberton is probably the most obvious choice right now. I would definitely love to see Pemberton score this one
Alright, someone's gotta start this.... Ya think Hans will reunite with Ridley at last for the planned Gladiator sequel?
Knight
2018-11-02 01:18:35
Wot? There's a sequel? Talk about unneccesary.

They are in the early proccess, just to get a story, ideas and then write the script, so we don't know if "that" sequel will be execute, perhaps maybe in many years. And if the movie, in the future, begins to film, Hans won't make the score. Maybe, Lorne, Matthew, Henry, Marc, someone else, but Hans, for sure, won't back with Ridley again.
Knight
2018-11-02 01:26:54
There bad blood between Hans and Ridley that I don't know about?
Scorefan
2018-11-02 01:35:51
There are no problems between Hans and Ridley, they have an excellent relationship, but in terms of music, Hans found so exhausting to work again with Ridley. Remember Black Rain and Thelma and Louise? After that, White Squall (Jeff Rona), G.I. Jane (Trevor Jones). After Gladiator, Hans in Hannibal, and Matchstick Men where Hans wrote 3 or 4 scores for the same movies, and Ridley decided the first score. After that Kingdom of heaven, another "Gladiator kind movie" and Hans thinking it woulbe exhausting. Harry in Madagascar, so they changed movies. After that, Marc Streitenfield in 3 movies and after that, another composer. So, maybe it's exhausting to work with Ridley in terms of music.
Knight
2018-11-02 01:41:11
Ah yes, I forgot Ridley loves his temp-tracks
Mike
2018-11-02 21:31:04
Well, John Powell did come back for Jason Bourne after no one thought he'd do it. So I guess miracles can happen in the film industry. But then, Powell didn't really write anything new for Jason Bourne. That was a remix score.
You know, I'll never understand why "The Spaniard" theme from 'Duduk of the North' was never utilized throughout this score. I'm guessing it was Ridley's decision but considering how beautiful the piece is, it really is a shame.
Same thing with the expanded Zod material in MoS
Mr Tweedy
2017-04-23 23:56:30
I recently listened to Duduk of the North and I thought it was an excellent piece of music. But, you know... a good idea doesn't always make the "perfect" idea. You can't keep everything. I love how Gladiator turned out: The score in the film has a flavour and a consistency that is pretty unique, a wonderful achievement as it is!
mpolonest123
2017-04-24 01:11:57
Very true. The film definitely comes first, and Hans' score in context is incredible. It's just a little funny that they kept the 'flavor' of the theme with the Spanish guitars but never state it.
Edmund Meinerts
2017-04-24 19:29:27
It's OK, he got to use it for the Kraken in Dead Man's Chest! ;)
Ds
2017-04-25 22:00:35
Wow Edmund, I'm impressed... where do you hear this theme in The Kraken? They sound like completely different pieces of music to me :-D
Edmund Meinerts
2017-04-25 22:05:38
Sounds to me like the big dramatic Bach-like theme at the very end of the Kraken. Only a slight similarity though :p
mpolonest123
2017-04-25 23:11:10
@Edmund Hahahahaha..... yeah, I've always heard that too. Even the chopping string section in the background of both pieces is vaguely similar.
Mr Tweedy
2017-04-26 18:19:45
@mpolonest123 Actually, there's a small hint at the "spaniard" guitar theme after the sequence where he escapes his execution (track "Homecoming" on the More Music album).
mpolonest123
2017-04-26 20:53:22
@MrTweedy That is true, and you do get the guitars in "Barbarian Horde" (not sure where else though).
I have to admit, as revolutionary as Gladiator was at the time, I think it's one of Zimmer's more overrated scores. Not that I necessarily think it's bad, but IMO both Last Samurai and King Arthur show a much stronger balance of themes and action writing, yet unfortunately were never as recognized by the mainstream the same way Gladiator was.
JBSO99
2017-04-27 16:52:25
mpolonest123 I totally agree with you. It's not that I don't like Gladiator (is an awesome score) but I think The Last Samurai is one of Zimmer's most underrated scores and for me is one of his bests'
Maximus is not on the Elysium, and he is not dead!!!
Ridley Scott:"I know how to bring him back... there is a way of bringing him back"
Who will compose the soundtrack? I hope you will participate again Lisa Gerrard.
Strength and honor!

2017-03-13 18:21:21
What a terrible idea. I hope this doesn't happen.
Scorefan
2017-03-13 19:49:59
Maybe as a prequel, but it's a risk idea. And it's sure, Zimmer won't come back to score another Ridley film.
METO
2017-03-14 23:40:04
Why come Zimmer not back to compose a ridley film?
Scorefan
2017-03-16 03:26:17
Because he said he wouldn't come back for another ridley film. It was Kingdom of heaven was initially for Zimmer and Madagascar for Harry. In the middle of time, they changed films. Zimmer said it was exhausting working on Gladiator and like Hybrid said before, it was a mess of Matchstick men. So, that's the reason.
METO
2017-03-16 03:30:57
But I find a pity. That the work on gladiator was not easy I knew. But is nothing new in the film industry. Ridley Scott and Hans Zimmer have been a great team for many years.
Mike
2017-03-16 04:50:42
If Hans won't do it ..... then BALFE please !
isildur
2017-03-16 13:56:44
If not Hans, Mancina should do it.
Mike (Old Timer Mike)
2017-03-16 20:05:35
I think Harry Gregson-Williams should do it, if Hans can't be convinced. (Well, actually, my first choice would be, don't make a sequel ;] ). But if anyone works on the film, Hans would be my first choice.
Ds
2017-03-16 22:04:09
If this happens (and I really, really hope it doesn't), Jed Kurzel will probably be hired, and then he'll be replaced by an even less known composer in the middle of production. That's how it works with Ridley these days, it seems...
Mike (Old Timer Mike)
2017-03-16 22:11:07
@Ds, do we really think Ridley - and the studio - would take such a chance? Gladiator's score was a massive hit back in the day. I can't imagine they wouldn't try to capitalize on its success, and on Hans' even greater popularity now.
asd
2017-03-16 22:39:41
if they do a sequel, then they should hire Klaus Badelt. He scored a lot with Hans on Gladiator. And please not Balfe again. He's a good score-filler, but not great in finding themes and melodies.
Mike
2017-03-17 00:15:27
Balfe can't find themes or melodies ????? Have you not hear Beyond, AC3 or Home ????? Full of great themes
Timmusic
2017-03-17 01:54:21
Balfe's theme,s in The Bible are amazing .He could easier do it I think
God, Spotify is so messed up! It credits all the orchestrators as the composers of the score. Hans is not even mentioned.
Zimson
2014-05-19 21:30:25
Same with Thin Red Line btw. It's credited to Gavin Greenaway. I already contacted Spotify and they responded that they would take care of that problem, but didn't do anything about it, lol. I was told that they get all their information from the publishers.
I just watched the featurette about the music on the Gladiator blu-ray, it was very, very interesting and... my God, Hans looked so young, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Watch this interview, then watch the interviews he gave about Man Of Steel last year, it's a completely different world!

Hey guys go to HZ's main page and check our recent media player addition (also works for CD pages like here) ! It's pretty cool ! Still adding some ! :)

2014-01-31 00:48:21
Whoa! What's going on with the banner at the top of this page? "original-soundtrack"? "No longer with RCP"? And why is it only over this one? And does it mean there might be pages for non-RCP scores at this site? So many questions!! AAARGH!
isildur
2014-01-31 00:57:22
The media player is nice. Will you be adding more tracks to it? Like one each from Hans' all movie scores?
And +1 to Ed's post. What does that mean?
Mike
2014-01-31 01:08:17
Cool! Nothing like being able to hear some of Zimmer's music, in full, on this site. I like it!

LOL Edmund the thing is because Klaus is attached to the page, that's all LOL...
And yeah my point is to add one track per project (of my choosing lol)...
When I'm done with Hans I will with the rest.
Mike
2014-01-31 23:43:28
I thought Discombobulate was a Lorne Balfe arrangement of Hans' theme? Or are you not just putting up exclusively-Hans Zimmer arrangements?

Err...the player disappeared on Hans' page. Is it just me? Hybrid?
Does that mean Now We Are Free is actually from Badelt?
Mike
2013-12-18 18:59:52
Hans and Badelt, I think. Because look, "Elysium" lists Badelt only, while "Now We Are Free" lists Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. I think with Now We Are Free, Zimmer took what Badelt did in Elysium and used it.
Zimson
2013-12-18 19:19:59
Yeah but basically it would be Badelt's theme then, like "He's a Pirate" is Zimmer's theme.
Hybrid Soldier
2013-12-18 19:28:56
Klaus wrote the early version of Now We Are Free with Lisa, that was dropped...
Then for the final version there's Hans theme used...
Zimson
2013-12-18 19:45:09
I know, the famous "Daa Da Da Daam" is by Hans. But I never knew that the rest of the track is actually Badelt's work.
Mike
2013-12-18 21:05:02
Me neither, Zimson.

2013-12-18 22:25:36
what part are you referring to zimson?
Zimson
2013-12-18 23:41:36
@roz Everything that doesn't feature the "Honor Him" theme.
we need the recording session to this already. come on man, it would be a shame if we can't have all the beautiful music to this beautiful movie.
Dimensioner
2011-08-22 23:00:04
Huh. That's weird. I just downloaded something earlier today that looked to be the recording sessions to Gladiator, or at the least a nicely expanded score.
go to klaus badelts website, and you'll find many more additional tracks to the Gladiator :)

Too bad the "Air Battle" cues are still the same synth demos... or are my ears wrong?? Wish the actual orchestral versions would surface!

My dear Mr. Tweedy, I'm waiting for your exposé regarding that "synth" matter... ;)
:P
ph fan
2011-08-18 19:07:15
Damn Badelt has some nice MI2 tracks! Not sure where most of them lie within the film though... sound mostly like suites or alternates.
Mr Tweedy
2011-08-18 19:30:01
Dear Hybrid, here is my "exposé" ! =)
The film version of Air Battle (the "orchestral version") is such a mess. The recording session of this track was pure chaos : some instruments are playing wrong notes (trumpets !), the cue sounds very weak (small orchestra) and especially rushed (last minute change ?).
I'm glad Klaus put his original synth mock up on his website instead of the film version... of course it's not exactly what you hear in the movie, but at least these are (nearly) the same notes, it has some raw power with Zimmer's trademark orchestral samples, the "waltz part" which was unreleased until now, is eventually available... I don't see any reason to complain here !
@Smith I think Hybrid is doing his fair part of contribution to the Zimmer fan community (Inception bonus tracks, anyone?). Finding some new source of music doesn't mean claiming it to everybody here within the next few minutes... especially when you know that most people here are gonna make bootleg CDs out of these new cues and share them on forums, not even buying Zimmer CDs and so on...
Cobb

@ hybrid yeah anything on more music from inception yet?
Levraibond

I love Klaus Badelt website! Their are a lot of new tracks for TMNT too! Looks like the full edition contains 44 tracks and the website gives you 32 but it's better then nothing :-P
Wow, Gladiator is on top now in the top 50. I wonder if this got voted up or if HTTYD got voted down.
Jimmer
2011-07-31 20:31:41
This is one of Zimmer's greatest works. Even though he may have copied Holst's The Planets for some of the cues, this soundtrack cannot be topped and the track "Honor Him" is one the greatest themes to ever come out of Hans' mind.
Yeah apparently someone likes Zimmer and Co. enough to use their music as temp music for the deleted scenes. I also heard some John Powell from what I think was from The Bourne Identity or Supremacy. Not too sure unless I'm completely wrong. Then there was a track from The Thin Red Line in there too.
That's pretty cool. "Strength And Honor" is my favorite track from this album, and it was really really late at night when I was watching the deleted scenes, so I thought I was just hearing things. But it's really in there....
If anyone has the Extended Collector's Edition of Avatar, there's a deleted scene on Pandora that uses the track "Strength And Honor" from this Soundtrack.
Damn, that's disappointing. You're definitely right on the whole plagiarism thing. So do you add everything, or just some? Cause I'm wondering if you added The Dark Knight 3-Disc. And if so, you're telling me that's real =)
Though, to me, it was a bit ridiculous... Of course the Gladiator Waltz is inspired by Holst's Mars, but there's definitely no plagiarism. I mean, if THIS is plagiarism, then a million of film score composers, the Horners, Williams, JNHs or Poledouris should have been sued for ripping classical music... :P
And as for that bootleg... Well, I know how it's made... But I think there are enough fake Gladiator complete scores on this site... :P
