Mr. Who 919 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Balfe is doing it. He posted a picture of the poster on his Facebook and wrote "I think it’s time to get the bongos out." Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,670 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 God... why? I can only guess that having decided they didn't want Kraemer, they phoned Zimmer and asked for the next available clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 McQuarrie and Kraemer must've had a serious fallout (pun intended) for Kraemer not to asked back for MI6. But honestly... why Balfe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I wouldn't mind as much that Kraemer wasn't returning to MI6 if he was at least scoring like, Star Wars spinoffs or James Bond film. The major studios need to hire this guy for big blockbusters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Who 919 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think the score will be very different from Mi5 because if they wanted the same sound they'd have hired Kraemer again. I really hope this won't sound like Pacific Rim Uprising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deleted account 108 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 5 hours ago, Jurassic Shark said: The plot thickens... There's no plot and there's no fake news. At the ASMAC screening, Kraemer shared his process scoring the film. There was a test screening in the spring of 2015 for MI5 that had a temp score that reflected McQuarrie's vision for the music (no action music, very little thematic material). The film scored well but Cruise was not happy with the musical direction. He described the temp music as "funereal". The order came down to score the movie more aggressively. Kraemer said "Cruise had three directives: action, pace, and location." He also played some demos of cues he'd written before the test screening and how they were rewritten after the test screening to follow Cruise's direction. So unless Kraemer went to the trouble to make fake demos, it's not fake news. My guess is McQuarrie will claim he changed composers because he was the first director to make a second MI movie and he wanted it to feel different. Which is why he brought back the editor, the sound recordist and the stunt supervisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deleted account 108 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Someone on FilmScore Monthly said FAKE NEWS. Also, interesting that the tweet has since been deleted. Maybe there IS a plot I took very good notes at the ASMAC event. Kraemer mentioned that the motorcycle chase had to be totally rewritten the day before the recording session to be faster and more action-packed.

Drew 590 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Joe Kraemer liked this tweet even though McQuarrie dismissed this story as false. Is McQuarrie possibly lying to save his publicity?

Popular Post Drew 590 Posted April 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2018 He acts borderline egotistical on Twitter. He searches random tweets related to him and his music and will always chip in if someone criticizes him (even without mentioning his account). I think he knows hecking well why that fan is nervous. On a lighter note, this Twitter exchange is pretty hilarious: Jurassic Shark, Pieter Boelen and The Illustrious Jerry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
