A few days ago, Apple announced the release of Blitza family drama set against the backdrop of World War II. Led by Steve McQueenwho is signing his sixth production for the platform, the film will see Saoirse Ronan, Elliott Heffernan, Harris Dickinson, Benjamin Clementine, Kathy Burke, Paul WellerAnd Stephen Graham to give each other a reply, starting November 22 on Apple TV+.

A nice casting to which is added the name of Hans Zimmerin charge of the film's soundtrack. Blitz This marks the third collaboration between the German-American composer and the British director. In 2013, there was 12 Years a Slavea sweeping historical drama that examines slavery, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2014 and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Film Score.

Four years later, the music of Widows is also composed by Hans Zimmer, to whom the film owes in part its dark and anxiety-provoking atmosphere.

For Blitz – which will follow the escape of a child under the London bombings and the desperate search for his mother – the two artists find themselves in the historical genre, more than ten years after 12 Years a Slave. A register that Zimmer knows well, he who signed the scores of The Red line, Pearl Harboror Dunkirk (to recite nobody else but them).

In recent years, the composer has not been idle: we owe him the original soundtracks of Dune (Oscar winner for his music), Dying can wait, Top Gun: Maverick, The Son, The Creator. This year, in addition to Blitzhis name is in the credits of Dune, Part Two, Kung Fu Panda 4And Mufasa: The Lion Kingwhich is scheduled for release in December, thirty years after the release of the cartoon for which Zimmer already composed the music and which, incidentally, earned him his first Oscar.
