In a revealing interview with The Huffington Post, the man responsible for some of the most iconic film scores out there discusses teaming with the likes of Christopher Nolan, and his most recent work on Ron Howard's Rush. Of course he also provided the excellent score for Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel, and many expect he will return for the Batman VS Superman themed sequel..but nothing is set in stone! Zimmer says that he has to see what happens closer to the time. "I thought I was done with Batman. I have to think about that. I have to think about how that fits into what I want to do next." He's then asked if he has an "open invitation from Warner Bros. to return for "Man of Steel 2".
"It's not really like that. I think it's really important for everybody to always take a deep breath and have a think about it. "Do we really want to embark on this journey?" Because the question really is: Do I have anything new to say? Is there anything I could add that I haven't done already? When we did "Batman Begins," we saw that as an autonomous movie. We never knew we were going to do two and three. Everybody thinks, "Oh, of course you did!" If you think about it, though, we never knew. Like, in "Lord of the Rings," everyone knew that the little guy was going to throw the ring in the volcano. We never had that. At the same time, of course, my mandate was treat each one as an autonomous movie, but you can't shift stylistically quite that much. The fun thing is if you can shift stylistically, that's what you want to do. For better or for worse, you want to reinvent yourself every time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
Yeah..I think he'll be back! But would you guys like to see (or should I say hear) that happen? Or would you prefer some new blood? Sound off below.
