Hollywood soundtrack composers sign on for Blood+

According to a news report published by Anime News Network, Hollywood soundtrack composers Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Batman Begins) and Mark Mancina (Speed, Con Air, Twister, Training Day) have signed on to produce music for Production I.G.'s upcoming Blood+ TV series (a TV series adaptation of the short but popular Blood: The Last Vampire OVA).

Hmm interesting news, I must say I'm looking forward to seeing this a great deal and a good soundtrack is always a bonus.

Production I.G.'s increasing number of collaberations with Hollywood talent (Kill Bill, IGPX and big name voice actors) is yielding some interesting results. I do quite like the Gladiator soundtrack, so I think this is a bit of a coup for anime.

not to mention expanding on the Blood storyline. the Gladiator soundtrack is indeed very good so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. the more Hollywood people take notice of anime the better - it looks like James Cameron is not alone!

Looks like their going all out on Blood+, hopefully it will be better than the OVA, it really had nothing going for it.
