Reservoir Media has agreed a new deal with film composer Hans Zimmer.
Since 2015, Reservoir’s collection of film music has included rights to numerous scores created by Zimmer. Under the new deal, the company will administer Zimmer’s catalogue through his company, Remote Control Publishing.
Zimmer has scored more than 200 projects across all mediums, which combined have grossed more than $30 billion dollars at the worldwide box office.
The German-born composer has penned music for films such as The Dark Knight trilogy, Gladiator, Inception, The Lion King, several of The Pirates Of The Caribbean films, Dune, Dunkirk, Interstellar, and many more.
His music has earned him two Academy Awards (for The Lion King and Dune), three Golden Globes, five Grammy Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Live orchestral tours have brought Zimmer’s scores to life for even broader audiences across the globe.
Zimmer’s most recent works include Dune: Part Two (2024) and F1 (2025).

“He has earned a reputation as a true innovator in composing, from utilising unconventional instrumentation to pioneering new technologies and sound productions techniques,” said a statement from Reservoir.
In October 2024, Zimmer joined Reservoir founder and CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi for a keynote conversation at The Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live conference, discussing AI’s impact on music, Zimmer’s creative process for various projects, and more.
On the deal, Hans Zimmer said: “Music connects us across cultures, generations and disciplines. I'm thrilled that this expanded partnership with Reservoir opens the door to more ambitious and creative possibilities with an even larger reach.”
Golnar Khosrowshahi added: “Hans is a master storyteller, and his groundbreaking compositions have redefined what film music can achieve. After working together for nearly a decade, we are thrilled to be expanding our relationship to now publish his prolific portfolio.”
She added: “Our partnership with Hans’ business partner at Remote Control, Steve Kofsky, has been instrumental in paving the way for this expansion. We look forward to working together to continue supporting Hans and his extraordinary body of work.”
