BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Hans Zimmer to Score Batman vs. Superman

The 2016 film gets its director.

Story by: Matt Cummings

We're happy to report that multi Oscar-nominated Composer Hans Zimmer will score the 2016 release of Batman vs. Superman, which will marks the second time he and Director Zack Snyder will collaborate, the first being 2013's Man of Steel.

While Zimmer was concerned about singing on, due entirely to his work on the first three Batman films with Christian Bale, he's onboard now, adding an important part to a film that needs good news right now.  We talked about the game of Scheduling Chicken that Warner Bros. is playing with Marvel over sharing the release date, which has come under intense and negative reaction from fans.



Zimmer's a creator of some of film's most iconic music in the past 20 years, includes Broken Arrow, Batman Begins, Pirates of the Carribean, and literally a dozen more.  His drum-heavy marches mixed with vocals has revolutionized an industry that used to employ orchestras to handle these sorts of things.  Think John Williams as old school and Zimmer's keyboard sampling as new school.  He's also helped to spawn careers for Iron Man Composer Ramid Djawdi and Transformers's Steve Jablonsky.  Zimmer is currently working on music for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.  Hopefully, his hiring will bring a dynamic theme to the film, as evidenced in Man of Steel.

For now, a quote from Zimmer shows just how important a strong theme for this movie needs to be:


“That’s my problem, that’s my dilemma. I don’t want to betray, if that’s the right word, the Dark Knight movies. That was Christian [Bale], it was Christian’s role...It’s not just that it was nine years of our lives, so you want to stay honest and honourable to that period. So it’s really about, ‘Is there something else I can find that I haven’t tapped into?’ Which I don’t know until I sit down with Zack.” 

What do you think of Zimmer's music and his addition to Batman vs. Superman?

Batman vs. Superman stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, as Henry Cavill as Supeman/Kal-El and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.  It's written by David S. Goyer (Man of Steel), and is scheduled for release on May 6, 2016.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
