I just heard that, apparently, Hans is not going to be scoring the upcoming Superman film after all. He said that he'd never even met Zack Snyder, and that the death of Ronni Chasen meant that there's much less control of rumors. He also said that trying to follow in the footsteps of John Williams, especially on "one of his greatest themes" sounds like "a thankless task." It's a shame, but hopefully the composer who is ultimately chosen will be just as skilled as Hans is.
The full interview is at the Hollywood Reporter website.
@Hybrid Maybe you can answer me. I know for years that Zimmer visits here sometimes, but what is he thinking about this webpage? About us who wants bottlegs and expanded scores all the time? Did he never found this page "illegal" beacuse all the informations that can be found? I know that I alredy have my answers: THIS FANTASTIC WEBPAGE IS STILL ON THE AIR.
Miles: And didn`t Hans said something like "I have never in my life met Zack Snyder. I think I need to give him a ring"? :) Maybe he could take the music different direction - as he did with Batman. It looks like Nolan`s screenplay is going to be a bit different, too.
Oh, well. I just watched Inception an hour ago. I would absolutely love a complete release. The music is so amazing. I hope Hans gets nominated and if so, wins the Academy Award.
Have any of you all heard the sketch version of Mal's theme? It's freaking sweet!!! You have to induce into a Travelling Dream on the Inception iPhone app to hear it. It's definitely worth checking out! Sorry if this has been mentioned already.
There's a tracklist for the 'expanded' along with an album cover, back and inlay on the blog lostscores. It's all just a bunch of artwork, nothing for download. It's 18 tracks. Disc 1 is 11 tracks, while Disc 2 is 7. Check it out.
That Inception version is nothing special: just re-organized the score + the 2 bonus tracks + end credits (i suppose that that the suite is) and the Junkie XL remixes (i wish they just ignored that dude, because he CANT compose... he made music for a dutch film too, totally sucks ass... just like rye-'remix'-land). But the covers itself look good, nice pictures, especially the front.
But it's would be longer, though. On the back cover it states disc 1 is over 40 minutes, and so is disc 2. Round that off, and it's a little over 80 minutes of music. The standard release 61:49. That's roughly 20 additional minutes. Although the remix and trailer music add up to 11:20. Still, I'd like to get a hold of it and see for myself.
Hans you are my favorite composer you have a place in my heart i have an absolute ear and listen to your music make me very happy my dream will be to meet you someday Hans THE GREAT ! will you come to France ? Nice to see you for your best theme song in concert live ! in Marseille south of France you are the BEST !
It is only selected tracks, not the entire thing. from the Blu-ray review on Bluray.com:
5.1 Inception Soundtrack (Disc 2, HD, 39 minutes): Hans Zimmer's pulse-pounding film score is presented in 5.1 surround sound via a captivating DTS-HD Master Audio mix. The only downside? Rather than fill the experience with concept art, production photos or film stills, the screen simply remains black during all ten tracks. Even the option to listen to the score with some sort of visual component would have been appreciated.
I have the special edition Blu-Ray with DTS-HD 5.1 mix of the score. I have to tell you, IT IS a dream. It's yust something you have to hear with 5.1 to understand. The mix is mind-blowing. but yes it's not the complete album from water tower music. missing tracks: Half Remembered Dream / Waiting For A Train and of course the bonus tracks. and yes the sreen remains black during the tracks but I personally think it's perfect becouse it's MUSIC! A pure sonic experiance from Hans!
First, Merry Christmas everyone. Second, I don't remember. I've had it for several months now. I know that's it's against the site's policy to list links, but even if we were allowed to I don't remember. There are a bunch of fan made versions out there, 2 of them being mine and the other being the 2-disc I mentioned below. Let's discuss this over at TDK. The Standard, not the 2-disc special edition.
Whether or not there IS or ISN'T a complete release for TDK, it is indeed a very clever fan edit. Very very clever. I swear there is absolutely no SFX, and there is a cue for nearly every scene (except the only one I can think of is the scene where Lao is driving The Joker in the police car after Rachel is killed). There is also another "complete" out there which is a 2-disc therefore making the tracks longer. This one that I have I prefer. I guess I just got lucky when I found this one.
Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever noticed music during those scenes. If so, then you got me there. I'm sure there's a few more where it's a very low hum of something like that. Other than that, nearly every scene in the film has a piece.
Actually, yes. I just looked it up in my iTunes library. If by the mob meet you mean the scene where the mob is talking with Lao trough the TV, then yes. It's called "Kill the Batman". It's got a very low but thumping base in the background. That one's one of my favorites.
Granted, it's number 3 on the top 50 list and 82 is not considered bad, but I kinda expected this score to be closer to 90 with how much praise it's getting.
@RuthlessGravity: Some tracks are suites unto themselves, is what I meant. Half Remembered Dream and Mombassa are made up of two cues from different scenes. Projections is the music from the opening Saito mission. So the ordering is pretty far off.
it is quite possible that mr. zimmer would want to release an expanded score to "hype" the score for awards season...im crossing my fingers, becuase the score that was not released on the album is magnificent and would be a more then welcome addition (i think i speak for everyone here when i say this)
