Neimoidian 14 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Zimmer defined the modern warfare genre with Black Hawk Down, but has yet to return to it. I suppose Tears Of The Sun could fall into that category, but it's a much different film.I haven't noticed many war movies incorporating that sound.There's a plausible argument to be made that scores such as Thomas Newman's Jarhead and Danny Elfman's The Kingdom bear some Black Hawk Down influence.I forgot about these too. I didn't like them and I listened to them only once. On the other hand, I really like Black Hawk Down, it's one of my favourite Zimmer's soundtracks.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Rofle Kent's The Hunting Party also takes off Zimmer's BHD. Not to mention it also uses one of the songs on the soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It won't. We can definitely expect a good soundtrack though. Morricone was going to do it, but the Weinstein's are pushing for an earlier release date than Tarantino wanted, so Morricone's schedule isn't open.

You can tell that he totally wants to get out of there He seems to have totally lost his sanity... He tells the journalist about starting from scratch, adventure, forgetting about the previous movie and its music..., while most of the samples suggest it will be DVC remixed and its themes will play pivotal role in the new movie.

MattyO 62 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 I just miraculously found a copy of Angels & Demons in a Perth store and indeed, Mr Zimmer has basically reused and epicalised the existing themes from Da Vinci Code. There's some more Crimson Tide sound in the first track "160 BPM" and the violin solos are nice. I'll give it a complete listen and give some other comments.

MattyO 62 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yes, sadly I am not overwhelmed by the score, I'm barely even whelmed. It sounds like he gave this one to the ghostwriters. I was with him on The Dark Knight, but my patience is wearing thin. WTF was he thinking with his "starting from scratch" comment. Every damn track contains a reference to DVC. "Science And Religion" is a small respite and the reprise of the reworked "Che Valiers De Sangreal" in the final track is welcome, albeit brief.

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Maybe the journalist misquoted him, and all Hansy did was start by scratching his bum, and then just writing the music Ouija board-style, and that's the best he came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyO 62 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 It's sort of the coalescence of Zimmer's development through the 80s until now and depending on whether you enjoy that Zimmer sound or not will dictate whether you like this score or not. I don't completely detest it, I just expected a lot more from this project. The score sounds more like a developmental progression from The Dark Knight than from The Da Vinci Code.*SPOILERS BELOW*I think Ron Howard made a misstep in choosing Zimmer for these films as I believe James Horner would have been the perfect man for the job. I just would have had to be prepared to hear the "danger theme" whenever Silas attacked or each time a cardinal dies. Still, Zimmer's score has the same thumping synth beats as each looming death approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyO 62 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Yeah, I've known that Up has been pushed back to September in Australia to coincide with the school holidays here. The same thing happened to Wall-E, so I expected Up to follow suit. Still, that won't stop me from buying the soundtrack from the States, if and when we get any details on it. Has something happened in post-production, considering it's Pete Docter's first collaboration with Giacchino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyO 62 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Yes, but I don't know how much advertising the film is getting in the US. Maybe it's something being kept on the down-low, or maybe the soundtrack will just appear once the film is released. I can't imagine there's a problem as the film with finished score has received favourable pre-release screening reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also could have changed Silvestri's carrer forever, making him a really well-recognised composer.But I guess someday he will release what he had composed for POTC and I'm sure it won't dissapoint us.

And since the beginnings of Zimmer's theme can be traced through his filmography, it wouldn't make sense for Silvestri to come up with something so similar.
