His works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. Since the 1980s, Zimmer has composed music for over 150 films. He has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score for The Lion King (1994), and Dune (2021). His works include Gladiator, The Last Samurai, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Man of Steel, Interstellar, and Dunkirk.

Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He is the head of the film music division at DreamWorks Pictures and DreamWorks Animation studios and works with other composers through the company that he founded, Remote Control Productions,[2] formerly known as Media Ventures. His studio in Santa Monica, California has an extensive range of computer equipment and keyboards, allowing demo versions of film scores to be created quickly.[3]

Zimmer has collaborated on multiple projects with directors including Ridley Scott, Ron Howard, Gore Verbinski, Michael Bay, Guy Ritchie and Christopher Nolan.

Early life

Zimmer was born on 12 September 1957 in Frankfurt, West Germany. As a young child, he lived in Königstein-Falkenstein, where he played the piano at home but had piano lessons only briefly, as he disliked the discipline of formal lessons.[4] In one of his Reddit AMAs, he said: "My formal training was two weeks of piano lessons. I was thrown out of eight schools. But I joined a band. I am self-taught. But I've always heard music in my head. And I'm a child of the 20th century; computers came in very handy."[5] Zimmer attended the Ecole D'Humanité, an international boarding school in Canton Bern, Switzerland.[6] He moved to London as a teenager and attended Hurtwood House school.[7] During his childhood, he was strongly influenced by the film scores of Ennio Morricone and has cited Once Upon a Time in the West as the score that inspired him to become a film composer.[8]

In a speech at the 1999 Berlin Film Festival, Zimmer stated that he is Jewish, and talked about his mother surviving World War II thanks to her escape from Germany to England in 1939. In an interview in May 2014, Zimmer revealed that it was difficult growing up in post-War Germany being Jewish and said, "I think my parents were always wary of me telling the neighbors" that they were Jewish.[9] In an interview with Mashable in February 2013, he said of his parents: "My mother was very musical, basically a musician and my father was an engineer and an inventor. So I grew up modifying the piano, shall we say, which made my mother gasp in horror, and my father would think it was fantastic when I would attach chainsaws and stuff like that to the piano because he thought it was an evolution in technology."[10] In an interview with the German television station ZDF in 2006, he commented: "My father died when I was just a child, and I escaped somehow into the music and music has been my best friend."[11]

Career

Main article: Hans Zimmer discography

1977–1988

Zimmer began his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in the 1970s, with the band Krakatoa.[12] He worked with the Buggles, a new wave band formed in London in 1977 with Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley. Zimmer can be seen briefly in the Buggles' music video for the 1979 song "Video Killed the Radio Star".[13] After working with the Buggles, he started to work for the Italian group Krisma, a new wave band formed in 1976 with Maurizio Arcieri and Christina Moser. He was a featured synthesist for Krisma's third album, Cathode Mamma. He has also worked with the band Helden (with Warren Cann from Ultravox).[14] Both Zimmer (on keyboards) and Cann (on drums), were invited to be part of the Spanish group Mecano for a live performance in Segovia (Spain) in 1984. Two songs from this concert were included in the Mecano: En Concierto album released in 1985 only in Spain. In 1985, he contributed to the Shriekback album Oil & Gold.[15] In 1980, Zimmer co-produced a single, "History of the World, Part 1," with, and for, UK punk band The Damned, which was also included on their 1980 LP release, The Black Album, and carried the description of his efforts as "Over-Produced by Hans Zimmer."

While living in London, Zimmer wrote advertising jingles for Air-Edel Associates.[14] In the 1980s, Zimmer partnered with Stanley Myers, a prolific film composer who wrote the scores for over sixty films. Zimmer and Myers co–founded the London–based Lillie Yard recording studio. Together, Myers and Zimmer worked on fusing the traditional orchestral sound with electronic instruments.[16] Some of the films on which Zimmer and Myers worked are Moonlighting (1982), Success Is the Best Revenge (1984), Insignificance (1985), and My Beautiful Laundrette (1985). Zimmer's first solo score was Terminal Exposure for director Nico Mastorakis in 1987, for which he also wrote the songs. Zimmer acted as score producer for the 1987 film The Last Emperor, which won the Academy Award for Best Original Score.[14]

One of Zimmer's most durable works from his time in the United Kingdom was the theme song for the television game show Going for Gold, which he composed with Sandy McClelland in 1987. In an interview with the BBC, Zimmer said: "Going for Gold was a lot of fun. It's the sort of stuff you do when you don't have a career yet. God, I just felt so lucky because this thing paid my rent for the longest time."[17]

1988–2000

A turning point in Zimmer's career occurred with the 1988 film Rain Man.[16] Hollywood director Barry Levinson was looking for someone to score Rain Man, and his wife heard the soundtrack CD of the anti-apartheid drama A World Apart, for which Zimmer had composed the music. Levinson was impressed by Zimmer's work and hired him to score Rain Man.[18] In the score, Zimmer uses synthesizers (mostly a Fairlight CMI) mixed with steel drums. Zimmer explained that "It was a road movie, and road movies usually have jangly guitars or a bunch of strings. I kept thinking don't be bigger than the characters. Try to keep it contained. The Raymond character doesn't actually know where he is. The world is so different to him. He might as well be on Mars. So, why don't we just invent our own world music for a world that doesn't really exist?"[19] Zimmer's score for Rain Man was nominated for an Academy Award in 1989, and the film won four Academy Awards including Best Picture.[20]

A year after Rain Man, Zimmer was asked to compose the score for Bruce Beresford's Driving Miss Daisy which, like Rain Man, won an Academy Award for Best Picture. Driving Miss Daisy's instrumentation consisted entirely of synthesizers and samplers, played by Zimmer. According to an interview with Sound on Sound magazine in 2002, the piano sounds heard within the score come from the Roland MKS–20, a rackmount synthesizer. Zimmer joked: "It didn't sound anything like a piano, but it behaved like a piano."[21]

"I listen to [Zimmer's] music and I don't even have to shut my eyes. I can see the pictures. And that's why, in many respects, I know I can talk pictures with Hans. He responds to pictures."

—Ridley Scott, director and producer and frequent collaborator with Zimmer.[22]

The soundtrack to Ridley Scott's 1991 film Thelma & Louise by Zimmer featured the trademark slide guitar performance by Pete Haycock on the "Thunderbird" theme in the film. As a teenager, Zimmer was a fan of Haycock, and their collaboration on film scores includes K2 and Drop Zone.[23] Zimmer wrote the theme for Tony Scott's 1993 film True Romance, which he based on Carl Orff's Gassenhauer. Gassenhauer had previously been used in the 1973 film Badlands, which had a similar story of a young man and a girl on the run following a violent crime.[24] The catchy theme, played on nine marimbas, contrasts starkly with the violence of the film.[25]

For the 1992 film The Power of One, Zimmer travelled to Africa in order to use African choirs and drums in the recording of the score. On the strength of this work, Walt Disney Feature Animation approached Zimmer to compose the score for the 1994 film The Lion King. This was to be his first score for an animated film. Zimmer said that he had wanted to go to South Africa to record parts of the soundtrack, but was unable to visit the country as he had a police record there "for doing 'subversive' movies" after his work on The Power of One. Disney studio bosses expressed fears that Zimmer would be killed if he went to South Africa, so the recording of the choirs was organised during a visit by Lebo M.[26] Zimmer won numerous awards for his work on The Lion King, including an Academy Award for Best Original Score, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys. In 1997, the score was adapted into a Broadway musical version which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1998.[27][28] As of April 2012, the musical version of The Lion King is the highest grossing Broadway show of all time, having grossed $853.8 million.[29]

Zimmer's score for Tony Scott's 1995 film Crimson Tide won a Grammy Award for the main theme, which makes heavy use of synthesizers in place of traditional orchestral instruments. For The Thin Red Line (1998), Zimmer said that the director Terrence Malick wanted the music before he started filming, so he recorded six and a half hours of music.[19] Zimmer's next project was The Prince of Egypt (1998), which was produced by DreamWorks Animation. He introduced Ofra Haza, an Israeli Yemenite singer, to the directors, and they thought she was so beautiful that they designed one of the characters in the film to look like her.[19]

Zimmer's score for the 1998 film The Thin Red Line is regarded as one of his most important works. The nine-minute cue at the climax of the film, "The Journey to the Line", uses a recurring theme based on four chords, combined with a "ticking clock" motif that has been featured in a range of subsequent scores composed by Zimmer.[30] The piece has been used in numerous trailers and video games, and has earned the nickname "the forbidden cue" due to the tendency of film makers to use it as a temp track for dramatic scenes.[31]

2000–2012

In the 2000s, Zimmer composed scores for Hollywood blockbuster films including three Ridley Scott films, Gladiator (2000), Black Hawk Down and Hannibal (2001), followed by The Last Samurai (2003), Madagascar (2005), The Da Vinci Code (2006), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Kung Fu Panda (2008), which he co-composed with John Powell, Angels & Demons (2009), and Sherlock Holmes (2009). Other work in the 2000s included the Spanish language film Casi Divas,[32] and The Burning Plain (2009). He composed the theme for the television boxing series The Contender and worked with Lorne Balfe on the music for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which was his first video game project.[33] Zimmer also collaborated with composers Borislav Slavov and Tilman Sillescu to create the score for the video game Crysis 2.[34]

In October 2000, Zimmer performed live in concert for the first time with an orchestra and choir at the 27th Annual Flanders International Film Festival in Ghent.[35] While writing the score for The Last Samurai, Zimmer felt that his knowledge of Japanese music was extremely limited. He began doing extensive research, but the more he studied, the less he felt he knew. Finally, Zimmer took what he had written to Japan for feedback and was shocked when he was asked how he knew so much about Japanese music.[19]

During the scoring of The Last Samurai in early 2003, Zimmer was approached by the producer Jerry Bruckheimer, with whom he had worked previously on Crimson Tide, Days of Thunder, The Rock, and Pearl Harbor. Bruckheimer had finished shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl but was unhappy with the music composed for the film by Alan Silvestri and wanted a replacement score.[36] Bruckheimer wanted Zimmer to rescore the film, but due to his commitments on The Last Samurai, the task of composing and supervising music for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was given to Klaus Badelt, one of Zimmer's colleagues at Media Ventures. Zimmer provided some themes that were used in the film, although he is not credited on screen.[37][38] Zimmer was hired as the composer for the three subsequent films in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), collaborating with Rodrigo y Gabriela for the last.[39]

Zimmer is also noted for his work on the scores of Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008), which he co-composed with James Newton Howard.[17] For the soundtrack of The Dark Knight, Zimmer decided to represent the character of The Joker by a single note played on the cello by his long-time colleague Martin Tillman. Zimmer commented "I wanted to write something people would truly hate."[40] The scores for these films were disqualified from receiving Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score due to too many composers being listed on the cue sheet.[41] Zimmer succeeded in reversing the decision not to nominate The Dark Knight in December 2008, arguing that the process of creating a modern film score was collaborative and that it was important to credit a range of people who had played a part in its production.[42] Zimmer explained his approach to scoring with other musicians in an interview with Soundtrack.net in 2006:

Originally I had this idea that it should be possible to create some kind of community around this kind of work, and I think by muddying the titles – not having "you are the composer, you are the arranger, you are the orchestrator" – it just sort of helped us to work more collaboratively. It wasn't that important to me that I had "score by Hans Zimmer" and took sole credit on these things. It's like Gladiator: I gave Lisa Gerrard the co-credit because, even though she didn't write the main theme, her presence and contributions were very influential. She was more than just a soloist, and this is why I have such a problem with specific credits.[43]

For the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes, Daily Variety reported that Zimmer purchased an out-of-tune piano for 200 dollars and used it throughout the scoring process because of its "quirkiness".[44] For the 2011 sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Zimmer and director Guy Ritchie incorporated authentic Romani music, which they researched by visiting Slovakia, Italy, and France. The music in the film is played by Romani virtuoso musicians.[45][46]

For the 2010 film Inception, Zimmer used electronic manipulation of the song "Non, je ne regrette rien". The horn sound in the score, described by Zimmer as "like huge foghorns over a city" became a popular feature in film trailers. "It's funny how that sort of thing becomes part of the zeitgeist," he said. "But I suppose that's exactly what trailers are looking for: something iconic, lasts less than a second, and shakes the seats in the theater."[47][48]

In 2012, Zimmer composed and produced the music for the 84th Academy Awards with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes.[49] He also composed a new version of the theme music for ABC World News.[50] Zimmer also composed the score for The Dark Knight Rises, the final instalment of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy. The film was released in July 2012.[51] Zimmer described himself as "devastated" in the aftermath of the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting, which occurred at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises, commenting, "I just feel so incredibly sad for these people." He recorded a track entitled "Aurora", a choral arrangement of a theme from the Dark Knight Rises soundtrack, to raise money for the victims of the shooting.[52]

2012–present

Zimmer co-composed the music for the television series The Bible, which was broadcast in March 2013, with Lorne Balfe and Lisa Gerrard, and the score for 12 Years a Slave, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in March 2014. Zimmer composed the Tomorrowland Hymn for the Tomorrowland festival to celebrate its tenth anniversary in July 2014.[53]

Zimmer composed the music for the 2014 film The Amazing Spider-Man 2 alongside "The Magnificent Six", which consisted of Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr, Michael Einziger, Junkie XL, Andrew Kawczynski, and Steve Mazzaro.[54][55] Zimmer also composed the music for Christopher Nolan's 2014 film Interstellar, which earned him another Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score.[56] He partnered with Junkie XL to compose the music for the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In an interview with BBC News in March 2016, Zimmer said that he was retiring from composing the music for superhero films, saying of Batman v Superman: "This one was very hard for me to do, to try to find new language".[57]

Zimmer composed the main theme for the 2016 BBC nature documentary Planet Earth II, presented by David Attenborough. He later composed the score for the 2017 BBC nature documentary Blue Planet II alongside Jacob Shea and David Fleming, also presented by David Attenborough.[58][59] In an interview with Kirsty Wark on BBC Radio, Zimmer said in October 2022: "I think the only work that I've done that's worth anything is working for Sir David Attenborough on those programmes, because it's the only thing that actually means something to this world and ultimately might have an impact on how we approach this world."[60]

Zimmer composed the main theme for the 2016 Netflix production The Crown.[61] Also in 2016 Zimmer released an online course teaching the basics of film scoring.[62] He next composed the score for Christopher Nolan's 2017 film Dunkirk, basing part of the score on a recording of a ticking watch that he had been given by Nolan.[63] Zimmer also worked on the score for Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049. Hans Zimmer and co-composer Benjamin Wallfisch took over scoring duties after Jóhann Jóhannsson left the project.[64]

In 2018, Zimmer composed the score for the new FIFA Anthem, called "Living Football" in reference to the new motto of FIFA,[65] "Living Football" was also used as television intro theme for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[66] Also in 2018, Zimmer remixed the UEFA Champions League Anthem with rapper Vince Staples for EA Sports' FIFA video game FIFA 19, with it also featuring in the game's reveal trailer.[67] Zimmer composed the score for Dark Phoenix, directed by Simon Kinberg, contrary to his 2016 statements of not scoring another superhero film following his experience working on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[68] Also for 2019, he scored the photorealistic computer-animated remake of Disney's The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau.[69]

On 22 August 2018, Zimmer was also announced as the composer for Wonder Woman 1984.[70] On 18 March 2019, it was announced that Zimmer would be scoring Denis Villeneuve's Dune.[71] In June 2019, Zimmer was hired to create sounds for BMW's concept vehicle, the Vision M Next.[72]

In 2020, Zimmer composed the score for Hillbilly Elegy.[73]

On 6 January 2020, it was announced that he would be taking over as composer for the James Bond film No Time to Die after previous composer Dan Romer left the project.[74] Speaking on scoring for No Time To Die, Zimmer told The Hindu, "Having done the three Batman movies — which are three movies to you but are 12 years of my life to me — I really understand where Daniel [Craig] was with this; he dedicated 16 years of his life to Bond... I wanted to not only do a good score but dig a little deeper and honour the man, the work and all the people who've been working on this for so long."[75]

On 26 February 2020, Major League Soccer released an anthem for its 25th season, which was composed by Zimmer.[76]

Zimmer also composed the score for the film Dune, which earned him his second Academy Award for Best Original Score.[77] He is also set to compose the score for the sequel. In 2022 he collaborated with Camila Cabello on the song "Take Me Back Home" for the documentary series Frozen Planet II.[78]

Zimmer has also produced and composed sounds for BMW's electric car line. These sounds are both for those on the interior and on the exterior, and could help warn pedestrians that an electric car is approaching.[79][80]

Personal life

Zimmer's first wife was model Vicki Carolin, with whom he has a daughter.[81] The couple divorced in 1992.[82] On 3 April 2020, Zimmer filed for divorce from his second wife, Suzanne Zimmer, with whom he has three children.[82]

As a young child he lived in Konigstein Falkenstein where he played the piano at home but had piano lessons only briefly as he disliked the discipline of formal lessons 4 In one of his Reddit AMAs he said My formal training was two weeks of piano lessons I was thrown out of eight schools But I joined a band I am self taught But I ve always heard music in my head And I m a child of the 20th century computers came in very handy 5 Zimmer attended the Ecole D Humanite an international boarding school in Canton Bern Switzerland 6 He moved to London as a teenager and attended Hurtwood House school 7 During his childhood he was strongly influenced by the film scores of Ennio Morricone and has cited Once Upon a Time in the West as the score that inspired him to become a film composer 8 In a speech at the 1999 Berlin Film Festival Zimmer stated that he is Jewish and talked about his mother surviving World War II thanks to her escape from Germany to England in 1939 In an interview in May 2014 Zimmer revealed that it was difficult growing up in post War Germany being Jewish and said I think my parents were always wary of me telling the neighbors that they were Jewish 9 In an interview with Mashable in February 2013 he said of his parents My mother was very musical basically a musician and my father was an engineer and an inventor So I grew up modifying the piano shall we say which made my mother gasp in horror and my father would think it was fantastic when I would attach chainsaws and stuff like that to the piano because he thought it was an evolution in technology 10 In an interview with the German television station ZDF in 2006 he commented My father died when I was just a child and I escaped somehow into the music and music has been my best friend 11 Career EditMain article Hans Zimmer discography 1977 1988 Edit Zimmer began his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in the 1970s with the band Krakatoa 12 He worked with the Buggles a new wave band formed in London in 1977 with Trevor Horn Geoff Downes and Bruce Woolley Zimmer can be seen briefly in the Buggles music video for the 1979 song Video Killed the Radio Star 13 After working with the Buggles he started to work for the Italian group Krisma a new wave band formed in 1976 with Maurizio Arcieri and Christina Moser He was a featured synthesist for Krisma s third album Cathode Mamma He has also worked with the band Helden with Warren Cann from Ultravox 14 Both Zimmer on keyboards and Cann on drums were invited to be part of the Spanish group Mecano for a live performance in Segovia Spain in 1984 Two songs from this concert were included in the Mecano En Concierto album released in 1985 only in Spain In 1985 he contributed to the Shriekback album Oil amp Gold 15 In 1980 Zimmer co produced a single History of the World Part 1 with and for UK punk band The Damned which was also included on their 1980 LP release The Black Album and carried the description of his efforts as Over Produced by Hans Zimmer While living in London Zimmer wrote advertising jingles for Air Edel Associates 14 In the 1980s Zimmer partnered with Stanley Myers a prolific film composer who wrote the scores for over sixty films Zimmer and Myers co founded the London based Lillie Yard recording studio Together Myers and Zimmer worked on fusing the traditional orchestral sound with electronic instruments 16 Some of the films on which Zimmer and Myers worked are Moonlighting 1982 Success Is the Best Revenge 1984 Insignificance 1985 and My Beautiful Laundrette 1985 Zimmer s first solo score was Terminal Exposure for director Nico Mastorakis in 1987 for which he also wrote the songs Zimmer acted as score producer for the 1987 film The Last Emperor which won the Academy Award for Best Original Score 14 One of Zimmer s most durable works from his time in the United Kingdom was the theme song for the television game show Going for Gold which he composed with Sandy McClelland in 1987 In an interview with the BBC Zimmer said Going for Gold was a lot of fun It s the sort of stuff you do when you don t have a career yet God I just felt so lucky because this thing paid my rent for the longest time 17 1988 2000 Edit A turning point in Zimmer s career occurred with the 1988 film Rain Man 16 Hollywood director Barry Levinson was looking for someone to score Rain Man and his wife heard the soundtrack CD of the anti apartheid drama A World Apart for which Zimmer had composed the music Levinson was impressed by Zimmer s work and hired him to score Rain Man 18 In the score Zimmer uses synthesizers mostly a Fairlight CMI mixed with steel drums Zimmer explained that It was a road movie and road movies usually have jangly guitars or a bunch of strings I kept thinking don t be bigger than the characters Try to keep it contained The Raymond character doesn t actually know where he is The world is so different to him He might as well be on Mars So why don t we just invent our own world music for a world that doesn t really exist 19 Zimmer s score for Rain Man was nominated for an Academy Award in 1989 and the film won four Academy Awards including Best Picture 20 A year after Rain Man Zimmer was asked to compose the score for Bruce Beresford s Driving Miss Daisy which like Rain Man won an Academy Award for Best Picture Driving Miss Daisy s instrumentation consisted entirely of synthesizers and samplers played by Zimmer According to an interview with Sound on Sound magazine in 2002 the piano sounds heard within the score come from the Roland MKS 20 a rackmount synthesizer Zimmer joked It didn t sound anything like a piano but it behaved like a piano 21 I listen to Zimmer s music and I don t even have to shut my eyes I can see the pictures And that s why in many respects I know I can talk pictures with Hans He responds to pictures Ridley Scott director and producer and frequent collaborator with Zimmer 22 The soundtrack to Ridley Scott s 1991 film Thelma amp Louise by Zimmer featured the trademark slide guitar performance by Pete Haycock on the Thunderbird theme in the film As a teenager Zimmer was a fan of Haycock and their collaboration on film scores includes K2 and Drop Zone 23 Zimmer wrote the theme for Tony Scott s 1993 film True Romance which he based on Carl Orff s Gassenhauer Gassenhauer had previously been used in the 1973 film Badlands which had a similar story of a young man and a girl on the run following a violent crime 24 The catchy theme played on nine marimbas contrasts starkly with the violence of the film 25 For the 1992 film The Power of One Zimmer travelled to Africa in order to use African choirs and drums in the recording of the score On the strength of this work Walt Disney Feature Animation approached Zimmer to compose the score for the 1994 film The Lion King This was to be his first score for an animated film Zimmer said that he had wanted to go to South Africa to record parts of the soundtrack but was unable to visit the country as he had a police record there for doing subversive movies after his work on The Power of One Disney studio bosses expressed fears that Zimmer would be killed if he went to South Africa so the recording of the choirs was organised during a visit by Lebo M 26 Zimmer won numerous awards for his work on The Lion King including an Academy Award for Best Original Score a Golden Globe and two Grammys In 1997 the score was adapted into a Broadway musical version which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1998 27 28 As of April 2012 update the musical version of The Lion King is the highest grossing Broadway show of all time having grossed 853 8 million 29 Zimmer s score for Tony Scott s 1995 film Crimson Tide won a Grammy Award for the main theme which makes heavy use of synthesizers in place of traditional orchestral instruments For The Thin Red Line 1998 Zimmer said that the director Terrence Malick wanted the music before he started filming so he recorded six and a half hours of music 19 Zimmer s next project was The Prince of Egypt 1998 which was produced by DreamWorks Animation He introduced Ofra Haza an Israeli Yemenite singer to the directors and they thought she was so beautiful that they designed one of the characters in the film to look like her 19 Zimmer s score for the 1998 film The Thin Red Line is regarded as one of his most important works The nine minute cue at the climax of the film The Journey to the Line uses a recurring theme based on four chords combined with a ticking clock motif that has been featured in a range of subsequent scores composed by Zimmer 30 The piece has been used in numerous trailers and video games and has earned the nickname the forbidden cue due to the tendency of film makers to use it as a temp track for dramatic scenes 31 2000 2012 Edit Zimmer at The Dark Knight premiere in 2008 In the 2000s Zimmer composed scores for Hollywood blockbuster films including three Ridley Scott films Gladiator 2000 Black Hawk Down and Hannibal 2001 followed by The Last Samurai 2003 Madagascar 2005 The Da Vinci Code 2006 The Simpsons Movie 2007 Kung Fu Panda 2008 which he co composed with John Powell Angels amp Demons 2009 and Sherlock Holmes 2009 Other work in the 2000s included the Spanish language film Casi Divas 32 and The Burning Plain 2009 He composed the theme for the television boxing series The Contender and worked with Lorne Balfe on the music for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 which was his first video game project 33 Zimmer also collaborated with composers Borislav Slavov and Tilman Sillescu to create the score for the video game Crysis 2 34 In October 2000 Zimmer performed live in concert for the first time with an orchestra and choir at the 27th Annual Flanders International Film Festival in Ghent 35 While writing the score for The Last Samurai Zimmer felt that his knowledge of Japanese music was extremely limited He began doing extensive research but the more he studied the less he felt he knew Finally Zimmer took what he had written to Japan for feedback and was shocked when he was asked how he knew so much about Japanese music 19 During the scoring of The Last Samurai in early 2003 Zimmer was approached by the producer Jerry Bruckheimer with whom he had worked previously on Crimson Tide Days of Thunder The Rock and Pearl Harbor Bruckheimer had finished shooting Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl but was unhappy with the music composed for the film by Alan Silvestri and wanted a replacement score 36 Bruckheimer wanted Zimmer to rescore the film but due to his commitments on The Last Samurai the task of composing and supervising music for Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl was given to Klaus Badelt one of Zimmer s colleagues at Media Ventures Zimmer provided some themes that were used in the film although he is not credited on screen 37 38 Zimmer was hired as the composer for the three subsequent films in the series Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man s Chest 2006 Pirates of the Caribbean At World s End 2007 and Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides 2011 collaborating with Rodrigo y Gabriela for the last 39 Zimmer is also noted for his work on the scores of Christopher Nolan s Batman Begins 2005 and The Dark Knight 2008 which he co composed with James Newton Howard 17 For the soundtrack of The Dark Knight Zimmer decided to represent the character of The Joker by a single note played on the cello by his long time colleague Martin Tillman Zimmer commented I wanted to write something people would truly hate 40 The scores for these films were disqualified from receiving Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score due to too many composers being listed on the cue sheet 41 Zimmer succeeded in reversing the decision not to nominate The Dark Knight in December 2008 arguing that the process of creating a modern film score was collaborative and that it was important to credit a range of people who had played a part in its production 42 Zimmer explained his approach to scoring with other musicians in an interview with Soundtrack net in 2006 Originally I had this idea that it should be possible to create some kind of community around this kind of work and I think by muddying the titles not having you are the composer you are the arranger you are the orchestrator it just sort of helped us to work more collaboratively It wasn t that important to me that I had score by Hans Zimmer and took sole credit on these things It s like Gladiator I gave Lisa Gerrard the co credit because even though she didn t write the main theme her presence and contributions were very influential She was more than just a soloist and this is why I have such a problem with specific credits 43 For the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes Daily Variety reported that Zimmer purchased an out of tune piano for 200 dollars and used it throughout the scoring process because of its quirkiness 44 For the 2011 sequel Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows Zimmer and director Guy Ritchie incorporated authentic Romani music which they researched by visiting Slovakia Italy and France The music in the film is played by Romani virtuoso musicians 45 46 For the 2010 film Inception Zimmer used electronic manipulation of the song Non je ne regrette rien The horn sound in the score described by Zimmer as like huge foghorns over a city became a popular feature in film trailers It s funny how that sort of thing becomes part of the zeitgeist he said But I suppose that s exactly what trailers are looking for something iconic lasts less than a second and shakes the seats in the theater 47 48 In 2012 Zimmer composed and produced the music for the 84th Academy Awards with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes 49 He also composed a new version of the theme music for ABC World News 50 Zimmer also composed the score for The Dark Knight Rises the final instalment of Christopher Nolan s The Dark Knight Trilogy The film was released in July 2012 51 Zimmer described himself as devastated in the aftermath of the 2012 Aurora Colorado shooting which occurred at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises commenting I just feel so incredibly sad for these people He recorded a track entitled Aurora a choral arrangement of a theme from the Dark Knight Rises soundtrack to raise money for the victims of the shooting 52 2012 present Edit Zimmer co composed the music for the television series The Bible which was broadcast in March 2013 with Lorne Balfe and Lisa Gerrard and the score for 12 Years a Slave which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in March 2014 Zimmer composed the Tomorrowland Hymn for the Tomorrowland festival to celebrate its tenth anniversary in July 2014 53 Zimmer composed the music for the 2014 film The Amazing Spider Man 2 alongside The Magnificent Six which consisted of Pharrell Williams Johnny Marr Michael Einziger Junkie XL Andrew Kawczynski and Steve Mazzaro 54 55 Zimmer also composed the music for Christopher Nolan s 2014 film Interstellar which earned him another Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score 56 He partnered with Junkie XL to compose the music for the 2016 film Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice In an interview with BBC News in March 2016 Zimmer said that he was retiring from composing the music for superhero films saying of Batman v Superman This one was very hard for me to do to try to find new language 57 Zimmer composed the main theme for the 2016 BBC nature documentary Planet Earth II presented by David Attenborough He later composed the score for the 2017 BBC nature documentary Blue Planet II alongside Jacob Shea and David Fleming also presented by David Attenborough 58 59 In an interview with Kirsty Wark on BBC Radio
