Next Wednesday, on a new episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with prolific composer Hans Zimmer (DUNE, INTERSTELLAR, THE LION KING). Chances are, if you’ve seen a movie made in the last 40 years, you’ve heard Hans’ music. Hans takes us back to his early career working the espresso machine for composer Stanley Myers and later making runs for director Bernardo Bertolucci on THE LAST EMPEROR before reflecting on his experience composing the score for the South Africa-set, anti-apartheid film A WORLD APART. We later discuss the purpose of score in a film and how Hans works on a project to create an environment, as does the cinematographer, in which a director’s story can unfold. We also trade notes on working with director Denis Villeneuve, and Hans reveals his deeply personal connection to the score and story of THE LION KING.⁠ ⁠ We loved speaking with Hans.
