Recently, the backstory of the “ta-dum” sound we hear before a Netflix-produced movie or TV show begins was finally revealed. Netflix Vice President Tod Yellin explained that it was created by Academy Award-winning composer Lon Bender, and before that was chosen, there was going to be the sound of a goat bleating (meant to serve as a nod to MGM’s lion’s roar). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Netflix primarily remains a streaming service, they also release some movies in theaters, and Roma<\/em> ended up winning Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Cinematography at the 2019 Academy Awards as a result. Now, it will probably be a while before they get to share another release on the big screen, but when they do, there will be an impressive new intro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly deciding the “ta-dum” isn’t a good fit for theaters, Netflix has commissioned\u00a0The Dark Knight<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0composer Hans Zimmer to come up with an extended version that is, quite honestly, epic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned, we don’t know when we’ll get to hear this on the big screen for ourselves, but it’s a great new addition to their movies and a sign Netflix is taking that side of their business seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check it out below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
