Well, I bet it's either composed specifically for the trailer or it's from something else... but that's just a wild guess.

Nothing as good as Zimmer. And for the trailer, it's called Believe In Angels from The Crow, I don't know about the Spot though.

It's going to be amazing to see a film about Americans leaving home to fight in WWII, especially with the film's score being programmed by a bunch of Germans.

I am sorry Shaun, but that kind of sounded like a racist remark unless I read it wrong. Could you explain the German part to me?

Allow me to explain it for those of you with short fuses.

I found it ironic that a German was scoring an American film about World War II (or the start of U.S. involvement in the war; and I realize that this film focuses mainly on the Japanese/American fighting). When Lancelot asked for a clarification (of sorts), I was "reminding" him that in WWII, the Germans were "the bad guys", that the we were fighting "German Nazis". I figured after writing that, he'd understand the irony. He did not.

I did not say Zimmer was a Nazi. He IS a German, though. That's all.

scoreboy, yes you are a Nazi.

Lancelot, you had it backwards. I think you meant to write, "To say Hans Zimmer is an 'innovator' is like calling Hitler a 'Nazi'."

I also understand that your original post was most likely meant as humor and/or glib cynicism, not being a whole-hearted fan of Zimmer/Zimmer's music.

Which is not to say that I am a blind devotee--or what some have taken to labeling as a "Zimmerite"--no--I do not like anything unconditionally, and I try not to be cynical about films and film music....*ironically*, the thing the brings out the most cynicism in myself is the cynicism of others--usually regarding films and film music.....which is what I was addressing, implicitly or directly.

If we can twist this enough:
To say Zimmer is as much an innovator as Hitler is a Nazi, strictly on a purity/intensity scale (not a moral one), then yes, I would agree with you.

It's ironic, as it's a film told from the American standpoint, with a score by a German, who were one of our enemies in WWII. Read nothing more into what I wrote than that.

"If we can twist this enough:
To say Zimmer is as much an innovator as Hitler is a Nazi, strictly on a purity/intensity scale (not a moral one), then yes, I would agree with you."

"But to compare Zimmer's output with the attrocities of Nazism, I would strongly disagree, and I would think any attempts to compare the two concepts generally unfunny. (that's me, though....i'm sure in some "more sophistocated" circles, it's uproarious.)"

Just to clear the air, I didn't compare Zimmer's output with the Holocaust (though it is Zimmer and crew who are killing film music for the future). I just don't think that Zimmer is scoring the right films.
