So you saw the most recent Man of Steel trailer, yeah? Hype is a dangerous thing, but this new Superman movie is seriously beginning to look like the movie of the summer. Most impressive is the music running throughout, which is apparently a part of Hans Zimmer's score and YouTube is already dubbing "An Ideal of Hope" (real or not, I love that title). Following John Williams' tremendous score is no small feat, but judging from this snippet alone, Zimmer has nailed it - crafting a piece of music that seems to fly as high as its main hero.
One thing to take note of: all the Superman themes dating back to the original Fleischer cartoons have had some string of three notes as the main chorus, echoing the main character's name ("Su-per-man"). Zimmer's theme here is no different, playing around with different triplets of notes throughout to wondrous effect.
June 16th can't get here soon enough...
