Hans Zimmer & Friends : Diamond In The Desertcenters on a concert held by the composer and his impressive band during a live performance at Coca - Cola Arena in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai . Diamond in the Desertis largely focused on the intricate and lively concert that Zimmer and his stripe had in Dubai while on a global tour play scores fromThe Lion King , Wonder Woman , Gladiator , The Dark Knight , Inception , andInterstellar . While many of these songs are film on the stage , InterstellarandGladiatorhave unequaled and jaw - falling ocular motifs to go with the medicine .
The performance is intercut with conversations betweenZimmer and his cinematic henchman like Christopher Nolanand Denis Villeneuve . direct by Paul Dugdale - who has antecedently channelise concert motion-picture show with Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones - the motion picture course rebound back and forth between the formats for a racy sentence .
On March 11 , Valnet brandsScreenRant and Collider held an other screening ofDiamond in the Desertfor representatives from across the entertainment industry at AMC Theatres at The Grove in Los Angeles . The event served as an excitable assembly for Hans ' banding , film producer , industry executive , amusement diary keeper , and movie fans .
look back on his career , Zimmer say that he believes some of his most underrated work was in Steve McQueen’sBlitz .
It ’s likeBlitzwith Steve McQueen — since none of you saw it . When he showed it to me , because it ’s the experience of a fry during the war , I said to him , “ I ’m pop off to write the ugliest , most unkeyed score everin the world that undertake no soundtrack album . ” Of naturally , there ’s a soundtrack album , but because baby feel affair so much more shrewdly , and I want the adult who began to see this film just be terrorized by the medicine . Steve McQueen , of course of study , lovedthat idea . I remember getting a schoolbook one Nox from our producers after a duet of week of me doing some pretty horrible thing , and the text just said , “ That learn balls . ”
He also give away that despite being regarded as one of the humanity ’s most influential cinematic composers , he has"imposter syndrome like crazy . "
Part of the imposter syndrome was I loved cinema . I loved motion picture , I eff storytelling , and I loved the thing that Pharrell quite rightly recognized : I loved hiding behind the screen .
What ’s interesting is that , despite being so well - have sex for his works in the nineties and 2000s , he always feel that it ’s his last employment that he wants people to listen to first , to be introduced to his compositions .
It ’s always the last matter , really . I sort of honey Dune . I jazz where I am correctly now , but my style has shift and convert over the years . Of naturally , it has because I get tire very easy . And why ? Because the Dune family is amazing . Because the Dune kinsfolk , as far as euphony is concerned , is this band that you just hear up on the screen . Had we not known each other so well , because the first part of Dune was done during COVID , I do n’t think I would have been able-bodied to pull up it off because all the musicians could record at home , and they knew what I have in mind because we ’ve been work together .
rifle back to his former years , Zimmer discussed his engagement with the slay music video " Video Killed The Radio Star , " and how that derive to be .
Ruined a whole generation , did n’t I ? No , it was really Trevor Horn , whose band it was . I was the lowly , fragile synth guy . But Trevor had this visual modality that music and visuals were survive to come and be connected , so we made this video two years before MTV amount out , and we could n’t give it away . Then MTV came out , and they did n’t have anything , so we were the first video on MTV . It ’s as simple as that . It ’s just being in the correct place at the correct metre .
Of naturally , no matter what Zimmer does in his career , he will always have a whole generation that loves his work on The Lion King , which he says is very special to him . He talked about how much of his soul he poured into it .
All and everything . I really did . And take Lebo [ M. ] , it was an extraordinary process . It was an over-the-top time . Disney had very little hope that that film was going to succeed because it was n’t princesses , so we had a lot of freedom . The other thing I enounce to them was , “ I detest musicals . ” They said , “ We guarantee you it ’ll never be a musical . ” But we had all these objet d’art left over and we went back to Africa and recorded the 2d album , Rhythm of the Pride Lands , which were the remnant bits , and we bring forth into bad trouble because we were spend money after the motion picture had do out , and , “ Why are you guys still memorialize ? ” But that became the foundation for the melodic . So , I did everything incorrect .
Zimmer is one of the best composers alive , and his work will be commend for generation to amount , but that ’s not important to him . He just want to live in the minute .
I never thought about that . I ’m living in the moment . I dead live in the bit , as everybody in my band will bear witness to , because I ca n’t remember what I ’m supposed to be playing from one of those movies that apparently is last to go down in history . So , no , I ’ve never cogitate about this . It ’s a good question , but I recollect it ’s a question I do n’t really want to undertake , too . Here ’s the affair : we have a deal of sport on those motion-picture show . There ’s a set of silliness that goes on while we do some very serious work , and I do want to keep that levity as match to , “ Oh my god , we are go to go down in history , ” something or the other .
