Throughout all of his successes in Hollywood, Zimmer has continually been a mentor to other composers, just like Myers was a mentor to him.
Zimmer has a great ancillary touring business in Hans Zimmer Live which has sold more than 1 million tickets, with the composer performing in iconic stadiums and arenas throughout the world. Zimmer’s feature scoring credits also include Driving Miss Daisy, Thelma & Louise, The Thin Red Line, Black Hawk Down, The Last Samurai, Inception, 12 Years a Slave and Dunkirk. Zimmer won Best Original Score in his second outing at the Oscars with the 1994 Disney animated feature The Lion King. He has been nominated at the Golden Globes 14 times, winning twice for The Lion King and 2000’s Gladiator. He also counts four Grammys - two for The Lion King in the Best Musical Album for Children and Best Instrumental Arrangement with Accompanying Vocals categories, one for Crimson Tide in the Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television category, and another for The Dark Knight in Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
COMPOSER ZIMMER MOVIE
It all comes full circle, as while Maestro Zimmer is still slated for his Hans Zimmer Live tour to continue in 2022, he has the scoring duties for the recently confirmed Dune: Part Twowaiting for his patient hand as well.Composer Brian Tyler Taps Into Experience Of Two “Lost Souls Searching For Deliverance” For Taylor Sheridan’s Thriller ‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’ - Hear An Exclusive Trackīut it is arguably Zimmer’s bluesy, synthesized score for the four-time Oscar-winning movie Rain Man -the composer’s first of 11 Oscar score noms - that catapulted him to a huge hot streak in Hollywood that hasn’t stopped, with more than 200 projects that have grossed over $28 billion at the global box office. And it’s a good thing too, because if it wasn’t for Villeneuve’s big opportunity, Zimmer may not have accepted the duties to score No Time To Die as his next project. Reteaming after Hans Zimmer acted as co-composer alongside Benjamin Wallfisch for Blade Runner 2049, fellow Dune fanboy Denis Villeneuve brought the composer back to the world of the movies. The thing that really pulled me back into the movies was Denis, just by saying that word ‘Dune.’ As I said, I was back to being 13, and I was back to before my career started … all of these ideas were rushing through my head.

And as he explained in this interview, it didn’t take much to bring him to the table. Being brought in to score Dune was something that Hans Zimmer, a fan of the book since childhood, would never have dreamed of passing up. Of course, everyone has their dream gigs, and those moments are precious when they arrive. Taking the music that he’s used to give powerful cinematic moments their punch, Hans Zimmer’s zest for live performance is undeniable. 2017 saw Zimmer performing a set at the famous Coachella music festival, and in the years since he’s run two separate tours: The World of Hans Zimmer and his current gig, Hans Zimmer Live. While moviegoers would remember Hans Zimmer through his iconic scores from films like Disney’s The Lion King and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy, the past couple of years have indeed seen him become a bit of a rock star. I like this!’ So Chris realized that, and he realized that that’s where my focus was at that moment. And here I was, sixty-odd years old going, ‘Whoa. I went out on tour, and I suddenly got really interested in this thing that I never thought I’d do. … There’s another part to it as well, which people keep missing out on.

When he sat down with the ReelBlend hosts to discuss the matter, this is how Hans Zimmer laid out the scenario: Though it wasn’t initially Warner Bros’ latest sci-fi hit that saw Zimmer turning down the Christopher Nolan film that would eventually be scored by composer Ludwig Göransson.
