Hans Zimmer! (was Re: Future Soundtracks)

[windyroselane]

I would also mention Hans Zimmer here for his work on "Gladiator." He 
and Lisa Gerard created an epic sound poem that stands alone by 
itself, yet integrated seamlessly into the film. 

John Williams' "Potter" score didn't integrate enough for me. Stood 
too much alone and apart from the film for me, and from day one I 
found myself thinking over and over that Zimmer would have integrated 
the score into the film so it would fly, sort of a wind beneath its 
wings in a very gutwrenching sort of way. Hard to describe, but as 
the films get darker, definitely what will be needed more and more.
