No word on what the asterisks on 2 and 15 mean (reused another composer's themes, most likely), and no word on who wrote track 28

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jay 37,336]

I assume the two tracks with *s after them - "Heroes" and "Inevitability-One Good Eye" - are tracks that Elfman incorporated Silvestri's Avengers theme?

[mstrox 6,649]

I would guess so, too - a track called "Heroes" at the beginning seems like a likely place to either have a news report about the Avengers after the first movie, or maybe a catch-up of where everyone is at that point. A good place to reprise the theme from the first movie in the series.

My fear was that we wouldn't get any Elfman music on this release given the circumstances, so I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. Now I'm wondering if there won't be a little whiplash between composers' styles, but I'd imagine that part of Elfman's job was falling in line with the tone of the score that they WERE keeping.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jay 37,336]

Why do you say 3 tracks? There are only two tracks with *s next to them.

And we don't know how many of Tyler's tracks include his Iron Man and Thor themes.

I HAVE to imagine Captain America's theme is used as well, since it's been used in 4 MCU films so far.

[crocodile 7,999]

Hopefully. Now I'm sort of excited for this.

The film opens in 8 days here. Will see it on Thursday, I think.

Karol

[mstrox 6,649]

Yeah, the most current themes for each character are:

Iron Man (Tyler)

Thor (Tyler)

Avengers (Silvestri)

Hulk (Armstrong)

Captain America (Silvestri) (no character theme in pt 2 that I can think of, outside of this brief reprise)

None of the other characters have their own themes. I doubt that Armstrong's (great, btw) Hulk theme will pop back up, so the asterisk may well be "uses themes by Alan Silvestri" Tyler's themes would be fair game for this score for obvious reasons.

Didn-t Black Widow have a motif in part one?

[Matt C 452]

Yes, she did. I liked that one, especially how Silvestri developed it over the course of the film.

It would be nice if Tyler or Elfman incorporated it or referenced it in the Ultron score.

[mstrox 6,649]

I've only listened to the Silvestri score twice, and seen the film equally many times. I didn't pick up any themes besides the main Avengers theme, but then again I didn't particularly care for either, so I guess I just wasn't paying attention

[crocodile 7,999]

Well, there was also Black Widow's theme and two themes from Captain America (Tessaract theme and Cap's theme). And Shield's material that opens the end credits. I'm not sure how Iron Man was represented, there might be a small idea (I know Silvestri used some synths for him)

Karol

[Alex Shore 83]

[Jay 37,336]

Wow, cool pic!

[crocodile 7,999]

They look happy together.

Karol

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[crocodile 7,999]

I don't know, he sort of always looks awkward.

Karol

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Don't know what you mean...

[crocodile 7,999]

Karol

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Tyler looks far more awkward. Elfman is goofy, but Tyler just doesn't look real.

[crocodile 7,999]

Maybe that was a picture of Elfman and his wife. And they just photoshopped Tyler in?

Karol

[mrbellamy 6,275]

Is Brian Tyler prettier than Bridget Fonda?

[crocodile 7,999]

Of course he is. Look at his hair and smile.

Karol

[mrbellamy 6,275]

Linger on those pale blue eyes...

[BloodBoal 7,538]

No "&" here either. Weird.

[Jay 37,336]

Maybe both Tyler and Elfman prefer it that way....

[Once 605]

Or maybe someone named Brian Tyler Danny Elfman scored the film? Awkward name, though.

[Matt C 452]

I've only listened to the Silvestri score twice, and seen the film equally many times. I didn't pick up any themes besides the main Avengers theme, but then again I didn't particularly care for either, so I guess I just wasn't paying attention

Widow's motif pops up at least twice. It plays during Natasha's interrogation scene ("Interrogation") and then during a big action scene ("I Got a Ride").

[EdwardHall 30]

Does anybody know of a release date for the "Age of Ultron" CD? I am surprised that I can't find a listing on Amazon, iTunes, or anywhere else.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

No "&" here either. Weird.

That's because they didn't work together.

[mrbellamy 6,275]

I know for screenplays, the rule is always "&" if they wrote together, "and" if they wrote separately.

Did you read the main post of this thread?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Tyler looks far more awkward. Elfman is goofy, but Tyler just doesn't look real.

Tyler looks too metrosexual with his fancy hairdo, his perfect designer stubble and his suspiciously white teeth.

Like he should be the running up on X-Factor rather then a film composer.

[publicist 4,643]

The picture has a certain 'David Geffen with new, unnamed toyboy' ring to it.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Exactly. He looks like an expensive gigolo!

Btw, i guess that means we will never really find out what exactly happened and why Elfman was brought in if Tyler apparently decided to live with the situation.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Would Elfman go under Tyler or Tyler under Elfman?

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Elfman- Smile or I'll make sure you'll never work in this town again!

No "&" here either. Weird.

That's because they didn't work together.

Meh. It's stupid. Not putting an ampersand makes it look like it's one man.

They should have put one name under the other. Bah!

I guess its kinda like how at the top of posters they just list the names without ands.

[Mr. Who 919]

I believe this is fake, but I'll let wiser minds than mine establish if it is or not.

[crocodile 7,999]

It's real. (I think, anyway)

Karol

[Mr. Who 919]

Really? Cool. It does sound a bit like Tyler's style (from IM3)

[Faleel 5,345]

Dulcimer? interesting....

[KK 3,307]

Sounds kind of like Elfman actually.
