With news still bleak on the upcoming reboot one thing that is bound to shock fans of the previous Superman outings is that
John Williams famous Superman score has been thrown out to make way for Hans Zimmer to bring to the table something new.
Zimmer composed the score for
Batman Begins and the
Dark Knight, and with
Christopher Nolan producing the 2012 reboot of Superman, it comes as no real surprise he would approach the man who did such an amazing job with the score on Nolan’s massive Batman movies.
The 411....Williams theme is so iconic to the Superman character, Zimmer certainly has his work cut out for him, and it’s already caused a stir around the internet, many not being happy about the change.
I am a huge fan of the Williams theme and was the one thing for a reboot I didn’t want to see change. However if your going to make a movie your own, completely different from previous outings we have seen before then why not? And Zimmer’s work is certainly not something to diminish.
Other recent reports and rumours surrounding Superman Man Of Steel is news that
Ben Affleck turned down the chance to direct because he didn’t want or felt he had enough big budget movie experience to take on the project and has applauded the now director
Zack Snyder saying that he is definitely the man for the job. And furthermore
Anne Hathaway may be up for the role of Louis Lane which had been mentioned by
Feature Film Auditions, a very welcomed prospect by fans after the heavily critisised Kate Bosworth’s take on the character in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns.
Of course the main question is still up in the air of who will actually play the lead role of Clark Kent/Superman? The latest rumour has
Mathew Goode pinned who played Ozymandias in Snyder’s Watchmen. Although standing at 6ft 2inches, Goode does not have a muscular physique which adds to the rumour of the new Superman suit being involved with some CGI treatment much like the costume being donned by Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
The remake will be an
origin story and looks to focus more on Clark Kent as a news reporter travelling around the world (West Africa being rumoured a lot) and getting used to his powers before returning home to become the hero he is born to be, however this is not confirmed.
The script is due Monday 6th December 2010.
UPDATE: Zimmer not involved after all? (07/12/2010)
