By now we all know that composer Hans Zimmer has written a score for The Dark Knight Rises that comprises of fans worldwide chanting for part of the soundtrack. And from the man himself, it is only the beginning.
“Have I earned the right yet to book the biggest, craziest orchestra for two days, and try this experiment for Dark Knight? And if it goes wrong, if I don’t like it or if Chris [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][Nolan] doesn’t like it, we can just pretend these two days never happened.”
–Hans Zimmer about what he said to the Warner Bros. music department.
Zimmer approached music in a way he hasn’t before; he explored a different way to compose and a different way for the orchestra to perform. But instead of telling exactly what it is, Zimmer discussed how the musicians reacted to his compositions.
” — the musicians were still talking about those two days, even though they’d done all this other stuff in the meantime. So I know I’m onto something.”
Zimmer might not have revealed much about his score for the film, but his apparent excitement about the creative direction is definitely attention-grabbing.
I still really dislike the title for Nolan’s third and final entry in his Batman trilogy — I would’ve preferred Shadow of the Bat. But I must admit that my cautious optimism in the movie is steadily growing.
The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20.
