Hans Zimmer: Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa

The Gorfaine-Schwartz Agency is now including Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa in Hans Zimmer's filmography, which is the first official confirmation of Zimmer's involvement in the project. It does not come as a big surprise, however, since the first film from 2005 was scored by the same composer. Zimmer has just finished work on another animated feature, Kung Fu Panda, together with John Powell. The Madagascar sequel is directed by Eric Darnell, who helmed Antz, and Tom McGrath who also directed the first film. The voice cast includes Ben Stiller, Sacha Baron Cohen, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith and Chris Rock. Dreamworks will release on November 7.
