In an interview with NBC San Diego, the composer revealed that he's been hired to provide the score for the upcoming Superman movie that will be directed by Zack Snyder. Chech out what he had to say about reinventing a new iconic sound for the reboot.
"It’s a hard one, but I followed one of the most iconic things on Batman with Chris as well, and it’s the same thing. You are allowed to reinvent, but you have to try to be as good or at least as iconic and it has to resonate and it has to become a part of the zeitgeist. That’s the job. On Gladiator I remember people always talking about Spartacus and I kept telling them, ‘When you saw Spartacus and how it affected it you, that’s how I want a modern audience to be affected by what we do now.’ So I think ultimately you’re supposed to reinvent."
As you can hear from his brilliant Batman score in the below video, there's no doubting that they've made a great choice by going with the man who's collaborated with Chris Nolan on everything from
Batman Begins to
Inception!
