Hans Zimmer about his score for ‘Inferno’

Hans Zimmer explained that “if The Da Vinci Code was me at my most classical, Angels and Demons trying to reconcile the idea of science and religion, then Inferno is about disorientation. Ron Howard once said to us: ‘Make sure you don’t shut the laboratory doors too soon…’ I took him by his word and we ended up with reckless experimentation. This one’s more personal. This one’s darker. Even for me. This one might not be for the faint of heart.”

About ‘Inferno’

Academy Award winner Ron Howard returns to direct the latest bestseller in Dan Brown’s (TheDa Vinci Code) billion-dollar Robert Langdon series, Inferno, which finds the famous symbologist (again played by Tom Hanks) on a trail of clues tied to the great Dante himself.  When Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories.  Together, they race across Europe and against the clock to stop a madman from unleashing a global virus that would wipe out half of the world’s population. The screenplay is by David Koepp, based upon the novel by Dan Brown, and the film is produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.
