Hans Zimmer Created a New Major League Soccer Theme, and Yes, it Rocks

Hans Zimmer MLS Theme

The ever-prolific Hans Zimmer took some time off from composing pulse-pounding scores for big blockbusters to record some music for…*checks notes*…Major League Soccer. Yes, that’s right, Mr. Zimmer is out here rocking the soccer (or football, if you live anywhere other than America) world with a big, loud, kick-ass piece of music. I’m not a sports fan, and I have never felt the urge to watch a soccer game in my life. But even I have to admit this rocks. Hear the Hans Zimmer MLS theme below.

Yep, that certainly sounds like some Hans Zimmer music. “It is an honor to create the new anthem for Major League Soccer as part of its 25th Season Celebration,” Zimmer says in the video above. “With this composition, I tried to give fans, and the players, a feeling of anticipation, drama, and excitement – everything that makes this game so unique and special.”

In true Zimmer fashion, there’s a lot of propulsiveness here, and plenty of heavy beats, ominous electronic sounds, and strings going wild. “It’s a piece of music that captures the color and energy in our stadiums and lends on the rhythm that is created by our fans,” said MLS senior vice president of brand and integrated marketing David Bruce. “[Zimmer’s] work sets the stage for what is about to unfold, the drama, the anticipation, the emergence of our biggest stars as they appear on the field and the noise leading to kickoff.” Beginning with the launch of the 2020 MLS season Saturday, February 29, the new anthem will be played during the player procession at all MLS games.

As for Zimmer, he remains as busy as always. His upcoming movie scores include No Time to Die, Wonder Woman 1984, Top Gun: Maverick, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, Dune, and Space Jam 2. And then maybe he’ll take some time off. Just kidding! He’ll probably sign on for ten more movies before the day is out.

Blumhouse is Making a ‘Fantasy Island’ Movie

Image
The frightmasters at Blumhouse have come up with their most terrifying idea yet! They’re developing…*checks notes*…a  Fantasy Island movie! Yes, that’s right – a film based on the 1970s Aaron Spelling series about an island where all your dreams can come true…for a price.  Jeff Wadlow , who directed Blumhouse’s  Truth or Dare , will helm the TV-to-film adaptation. Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of  Fantasy Island , I’m betting you’re familiar with it. It was a brightly-lit ’70s-’80s TV show that featured Ricardo Montalbán as a mysterious man in a white suit, and Hervé Villechaize as his sidekick who was famous for yelling, “The plane! The plane!” Here are the rather whimsical opening credits. Fantasy Island According to Deadline , the folks at Blumhouse took one look at this and said, “We’re making that a movie.”  Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow will be behind the camera, and he’ll also co-write the film with his  Truth or Dare writers  Chris Roach and Jillian

The 14 Most Dangerous Mission: Impossible Stunts, Ranked Worst To Best

Image
"Mission: Impossible" premiered on CBS in 1966 as an upside down "Topkapi" riff that left the conniving to the good guys. For creator Bruce Geller, expertise was the point. Characters and plots were left blank and blurry, forcing viewers to join the Impossible Missions Force or be left in the high-tech dust. Fun only got in the way; Geller famously scolded star Peter Graves for smiling at the end of an episode. In 1996, director Brian De Palma reinvented the series as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, and it's nothing but fun. The second film even includes a joke about how its star can't stop smiling. The fuse burns brighter than ever and expertise remains the native tongue, but "Mission: Impossible" has carved a new legacy in theaters -- mainly, its reputation for showing off knuckle-whitening, insurance-defying stunts, often performed by Cruise himself. Factoring in franchise importance and danger inherent, the following 14 examples are the best
