Hans Zimmer
Hans Zimmer Replaces Klaus Badelt
Klaus Badelt did the Pirates score for Pirates of the Caribbean:
Curse of the Black Pearl. While the music was awesome, it was just
recycled from another film Badelt worked on-- Equilibrium. After
seeing Equilibrium I had tried to get the OST music on CD. I was
disappointed to see that Badelt decided not to release one. Then, after
watching Pirates, I immediately knew why; Equilibrium
music became Pirates music. However, now that the music has been
recycled and fully heard by audiences, I guess it seemed time to go with
a new composer and score.
Hans Zimmer usually goes hand-in-hand with Bruckheimer. Zimmer is credited
with the scores for Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, The
Rock and Crimson Tide. The theme music from Crimson Tide
is still used in at least one film or movie trailer each year. One of Zimmer's
best scores, even though not tied with Bruckheimer, is his OST for The
Last Samurai.
I greatly enjoy both of these composers and can't wait to 'hear' what is next.
