    Great news! Aside from Nolan, Ron Howard always brings the best out of Zimmer.

    That isn’t Ron Howard, that’s Tom Hanks as Ron Howard.

    I am PUMPED. Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are my top two Hans Zimmer scores, and I can’t wait to hear what liturgical bombast he’ll provide for Inferno.

    The score will be completely analog electronic synth score, Hans said in an interview.
