Hans Zimmer is reteaming with Christopher Nolan on the director’s upcoming World War II action thriller Dunkirk. According to Hans-Zimmer.com, the composer has already started working on the film. The project marks Zimmer’s sixth collaboration with Nolan following The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Interstellar. Dunkirk is set during the legendary evacuation of the northern French city during WWII. Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh are reportedly in talks to star in the movie. Nolan is also producing the project with his producing partner Emma Thomas (Man of Steel, The Prestige). Dunkirk is set to shoot later this year at many of the real locations of the true-life events and will be released on July 21, 2017 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Zimmer’s upcoming projects also include the animated feature Kung Fu Panda 3, Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (co-scored with Tom Holkenborg), Gore Verbinski’s A Cure for Wellness and Ron Howard’s Inferno.
Can’t wait for this one. I love the Nolan-Zimmer collaboration.
Why Zimmer? :/
Er…because it’s a Nolan movie? I hope you’re not surprised…
Historical war film with synths?
Edmund, you don’t want to react to that. I know this person, he is extremely prolific on a certain movie website and is also clearly not right in the head. Just trust me on this.
Apparently people forget other projects Hans worked on in the past including numerous war movies. Thin Red Line anyone? Also (not a war movie) The Simpsons movie? I don’t recall synths there. Hans is capable to put a good score together with any genre just like John Williams is.
I only hope Zimmer returns to what he used to do best, large epic thematic scores. Please Hans, no more experimental ambient crap okay, please?
…and you are a fucking moron, troll and Zimmer’s fanatic!!! 🙂
I thought Macejko was a Djawadi fanatic?!
Simply Remote Control fanatic! That’s is TST:Terrible…Synth…Tyranny!!! I hate this kind of film music!
Whats wrong with synths?
DA GAWD!
Horn Of Doom!! or the latest Braam!!!
Last time ORGAN …This time …awaiting..
trumpet?
War movie…possible trumpet…He will make a big band of trumpets to play or to bring the theme…
Actually, the only Zimmer/Nolan collaboration that I really like is Interstellar. I thought he wrote a beautiful and haunting score for that movie. However, I didn’t like his Batman scores or Inception as much as a lot of people did. And, actually, it was after he began to collaborate with Nolan that I his scores stopped capturing my imagination as much as Lion King, Prince of Egypt, Thin Red Line, The Last Samurai and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End did, aside from a few exceptions (Lone Ranger, Rush and the aforementioned Interstellar).
thanks
Actually it is a collaboration between Zimmer and Nolan…………….so
when Nolan loves the score, that’s when it will be
I sure it will be powerful , melodic and intriguing
