publicist 4,643 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If Zimmer isn't expected to write 'symphonic' stuff he might come up with a nice, inventive approach. But i doubt they are going this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,637 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If they DID hire Zimmer to write a Star Wars score, I hope they'd let him make a proper Zimmery score.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm not really interested in anyone's Williams imitation.

Didn't Zimmer say, back in the days, that he could write a real pirate score in his sleep. So apparently he finds that so easy and boring that he challenged himself to write the unique and original Pirates of the Caribbean instead. I think that says enough.

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 It was fine music. I don't know how a fine a score it was, though. Being a great conductor and a competent composer of concert music is no guarantee for success in film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,270 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I might have been kind of irritated by this prospect 5 years ago when the whole enterprise was announced, but all I've ever really wanted is for Williams to get his say and he's done two of these now, with possibly a third on the way. I'll be concerned if someone has to replace him on 9, but otherwise Rogue One ended up feeling so irrelevant even with all its continuity and mimicry that I don't really care how these spinoffs are handled anymore.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 No one sets out to make bad movies. I find it to be a fairly meaningless statement. The Cars franchise exists solely to make money in merchandising. I find it hard to believe that that team wants to keep churning them out instead of tackling other ideas and new IPs.
