New Hans Zimmer interview at Hollywood Reporter

Hollywood Reporter features a very extensive article on a new interview they've done with much celebrated composer Hans Zimmer, featuring lots and lots of information for those interested.

Here's the intro from the original article:

"You'd think after all his accomplishments Hans Zimmer would want to take it easy. You'd be wrong. In the last year alone he's composed the music for six features: the low-budget Mexican production "Casi divas," Warner Bros.' summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight" (with James Newton Howard), the animated hits "Kung Fu Panda" and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" for DreamWorks/Paramount, 2929 Prods.' "The Burning Plain," and, last but not least, Ron Howard's ambitious holiday release "Frost/Nixon" for Universal. Despite all this, the composer took the time to sit down with The Hollywood Reporter's Kevin Cassidy for a typically wide-ranging discussion of his life and work."
