Looks like Nolan's work is done on Superman: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/188...uperman-reboot

I understand that he's busy w/ the next Batman movie, but this doesn't seem like very good news.

If they don't use Williams' theme, it just won't be a Superman movie to me.

You knew this was coming, but now it's official: Zack Snyder's SUPERMAN will not be carrying over John Williams's iconic main theme, first heard in Richard Donner's 1978 film and resurrected for Bryan Singer's 2005 continuation. Snyder has instead enlisted Hans Zimmer to score his top-down reinvention of the DC Comics superhero.

Zimmer let the cat out of the bag at a DVD release party for INCEPTION this week, and discussed the challenge of following up Williams's unforgettable score with NBC San Diego's Scott Huver...

“It's a hard one,” mused Zimmer, “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.”

Kryptonite Man. :lol:



Is this going to be another Golan-Globus production?

I have more faith in Warner Bros. than Nolan so I can only hope that someone there actually realized how completely wrong he was for Superman.

Nolan isn't going to "run" WB any more than Kubrick did when he was with them. WB is known for giving a lot of creative freedom to its filmmakers, and in this case, used Nolan to give Superman a direction.

Backdraft, Crimson Tide, Thin Red Line, Batman Begins off the top of my head... No, he doesn't have that classical music sound (like John Williams), so it will take some getting used to, but that doesn't mean it's not iconic.

Not using Elfman's Batman themes was unthinkable to me at first... but it turned out fine.

I agree. The score Zimmer and Gregson-Williams did for BB and TDK fit Nolan's version the best as Elfman's themes (certain ones anyway) would've been so far out of place.
