Hans Zimmer set to score Cary Fukunaga’s No Time to Die
Four-time Grammy winner and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer has reportedly signed on as the new composer for Universal Pictures’ upcoming 25th Bond movie No Time to Die, replacing Dan Romer who was dismissed by EON Productions last month due to “creative differences,” Variety confirmed. The project will be added to Zimmer’s growing slate of highly-anticipated films he’s currently working on including Wonder Woman 1984, Top Gun: Maverick and Dune.
The outlet notes that due to his heavy workload and No Time to Die‘s near April release, Zimmer might enlist the help of his previous collaborators including Benjamin Wallfisch and Lorne Balfe in order to finish the recording for the Cary Joji Fukunaga-directed film by mid-February.
