The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Hans Zimmer Score thread

[Naite22]

Is Zimmer seriously the composer for ASM2!!? Is this 100% confirmed?

Is Zimmer seriously the composer for ASM2!!? Is this 100% confirmed?

Yes. Marc Webb himself confirmed it in various interviews.

 

[AnneFan]

I recall one user said they wanted grit in the Spider-Man scores. I think they're bound to get some of that with Zim.

Oh man, this is awesome! I fell in love with MOS's soundtrack. You could feel the hope when listening to it.

 

[GermanRaider]

You could feel the hope when listening to it.

Very true.

 

[JOE]

Zimmer is going to make people cry with this score. I'm all about emotion in this next movie.

 

[GermanRaider]

There are some beautiful Zimmer scores that are probably totally unknown in the US, like this one:

or this:

DAMMIT!

Sorry, but I really wanted Horner to stay.

All I can hope is that Zimmer's score is less bare-bones than what he whipped up for the Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel.

 

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

Webb is talking about a collaborator with Zimmer. Imagine a Horner/Zimmer tandem

 

[Asteroid-Man]

I'm very happy to hear this. Horner really had no idea how to tackle Spider-Man.

 

[Spiderdevil]

I would rather have Zimmer do it himself

 

[Nicko-Ray]

I really liked Zimmer's work on MOS so I don't have a prob at all. Sure, I liked a bunch of stuff in TASM by Horner but I'm open to something new. A lot of you said that you hope Zimmer kind of incorporates Horner's main theme, which would be nice but like I said I'm open to something new as well.

Honestly Hans Zimmer does great scores but i havn´t heard anything he has done that fits Spidey, if someone does know a song please share it

Proof he can do light, even whimsical:

I'm not defending this choice or shooting it down. If he is the sole composer--which isn't how I'm reading the news--he can, in fact, do things other than the dark and gritty Batstuff.

 

[Picard Sisko]

As Good As It Gets... great movie.

 

[Milu]

I love Zimmer's work on more whimsical stuff like As Good as it Gets. What I feel, though, is like whenever Zimmer scores a live-action blockbuster nowadays, he tends to get rid of the nuances in favor of SOUNDSOUNDSOUND. That approach is popular in some circles, but I feel disappointed because I know he's capable of greatness.

Basically, I wish we'll get the Zimmer of James L. Brooks and Nancy Meyers films. The Zimmer who writes fantastic music instead of bare bones music.

i now he can do more , even little heart felt moments just havn´t seen some piece that fits spidey, i know he´ll do great because he makes awesome scores...

Really? Why is that?

 

[culver3vlr22]

This is the best news I've heard all day !

 

[Gee]

Another great news!

 

[Spiderdevil]

Really? Why is that?

I think a collaboration would lead to clash of Ideas since Horner's style and Zimmer's style are significantly different

 

[AnneFan]

Zimmer's going to be a busy guy.

Scoring this movie and probably the sequels.
Likely scoring the Batman/Superman film and whatever follows.
Whatever else pops up like Interstellar.

That user was me t: Horner had great stuff, but some things there were a tad too "fairy tale" if you catch my drift

Anyway, I have heard a rumor that he's infact working with someone. When he joined Kung Fu Panda 2 he did the score with the previous composer from Kung Fu Panda 1, so it's quite possible that we'll see Zimmer/Horner team up

 

[Doc Ock]

I like the fairy tale type of score TASM had

 

[Hurm...]

Horner was horrible. This is good news for me.

 

[SpideyK]

I really don't get you people who thought Horner was horrible.

I mean, mind explaining why, at least?
