Zimmer to Score Simpsons Flick
Summary

on Apr 20 2006 10:14 AM Hans Zimmer is a good composer when it comes to action, comedy, and drama. So no doubt will he fit the bill for "The Simpsons Movie." Just wait until the movie comes out before you pass judgement. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 20 2006 11:29 AM In reply to this comment (#834062) Only to those who don't realize that film music is often better than the films they score. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 20 2006 11:56 AM The fact that they are not using Danny Elfman to score, could be the first sign that this film will not live up to the show's greatness. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 20 2006 11:57 AM Zimmer is good, but it must have been a slap in the face to Alf Clausen. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 20 2006 01:05 PM Good call. I think Danny Elfman has lost his touch...Corpse Bride and Wonka were mostly highly forgetable (excluding the Wonk theme) (Reply to this) |

on Apr 20 2006 01:20 PM In reply to this comment (#834065) I guess you never saw Kull the Conqueror. Rock music in a Sword and Sorcery film? It ruined the movie for me. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 20 2006 05:16 PM bravo to Zimmer for Batman Begins, but I think that The Simpsons movie would be better off with Elfman and Clausen collaberating. The Simpsons is not just a cartoon made to movie, it is a part of pop culture history, scratch that it is a good part of history. As this is written the creators and the writers are creating episodes that continue to close the gap between generations. There are parents enjoying new episodes with their children every Sunday. Anyone who has ever been a part of The Simpsons should want to be apart of it, and anyone, who has the talent, who wants to come aboard should. The film has a little more than a year untill it is finally shown. They have time to perfect it, and for now I will give them the benifit of the doubt. (Reply to this) |

on May 01 2007 09:34 AM What's the deal? Is Elfman just not doing scores anymore? He's not doing SM3 either. I guess he's planning an Oingo Boingo reunion tour? (Reply to this) |
