Seems like a weird grey area to me, without knowing the extent of what Desplat has written. Themes? Cues? Basic sketches? What do Lucasfilm do, acquire his hard drives and copyright the sheet music? John would never have this problem, he writes everything down with pencil and paper! He could throw it all in a furnace and screw the studios for rejecting him!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's hardly a grey area. Lucasfilm or Disney own all the music, written and recorded that Desplat wrote for Rogue One. Now Desplat could easily take a theme or meledy or two. slightly tweak them and use them in the Luc Besson, or indeed any other film. But since his Rogue One score won't be released we will not know about it. Unless the composer actually says in an interviews that he used Rogue One material in Valerian. But that isnt a very smart thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desplat could have done both, of course he certainly could be doing other things in between and that caused the problem. Besson's tweet doesn't mean Desplat is immediately and exclusively working on this score starting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Serra would have been PERFECT for a job like this, and it's a mystery to me why Besson has opted out of his regular partner for this one. It seems my Desplat/Giacchino curse continues. I actually have high expectations for this film, given Besson's brilliant return to form with LUCY, but a little less now that Serra has been sent out the airlock, in favour of Desplat.

Will 2,215 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yeah, this Spielberg interview makes it sound like Williams hadn't started work yet. http://www.jwfan.com/?p=8050 He probably hadn't even seen the film. Maybe that's good, because it means less unreleased music to be worried about! Although if he had written something then I guess perhaps the sketches could leak and people could do mock-ups, which would have been cool (but also frustrating, obviously, since we'd likely never hear it recorded by a real orchestra).

leeallen01 2,133 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Not sure if anyone has posted this anywhere: Looks like Jupiter Ascending 2... And that underwater chase scene with giant creatures is straight out of Phantom Menace. But of course this is from the 1960's so it probably would have influenced Star Wars. But despite the quality of this film, it looks like it will offer Desplat sufficient chance to go 'space opera' on it, as Giacchino did with Jupiter Ascending. P.S. The two leads look strikingly similar, like siblings really, so it doesn't really work having them romantically involved... P.P.S. I adore Fifth Element, so this film, has already sold one ticket.

Popular Post Jay 37,312 Posted February 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2017 uhhh OK. Well, Google Translate says: Quote The National Orchestra of France and the choir of Radio France are recording the music of Luc Besson's film, VALERIAN, composed by Alexandre Desplat. This is a first since 1984, when the house of the radio recorded the "Carmen" of Francesco Rosi. Alexandre Desplat is known for recording regularly with the London Symphonic Orchestra (LSO) in London. Most of the major French composers (Eric Neveux, Bruno Coulais, Philippe Rombi) have often expressed their preference for English orchestras. The choice to remain in France for this recording would be a choice of Luc Besson, fervent patriot who did everything possible to make the filming of his film is located in France - notably in its City of Cinema (by negotiating taxes with the " French State). Luc Besson has also centralized in his Cité du cinéma all stages of creation (from production to post-production through filming). Only the musical part is missing the studios of St Denis, hence an agreement signed between Radio France and EuropaCorp, the company of Luc Besson, after several months of negotiation, allowing today 95 musicians of the Orchester National de France And 40 singers of the choir of Radio France to participate in the recording at Studio 104 of the Maison de la Radio. The most expensive superproduction in the history of French cinema, with a budget of more than 170 million euros, "Valérian and the City of the thousand planets" Luc Besson is on the bill in July.
