Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 No, it means Zimmer is capable of producing a sound that fits Spielberg's films.

Zimmer TODAY decries old school music and is all about 'innovating' whatever that means. And Spielberg still has a very orchestral full symphonic melodic sound to his films.

Thor 7,465 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 There is that famous quote from the 90s where Spielberg said he would hire Zimmer if Williams should not be available for some reason. Hasn't happened yet, but I have no doubt it will. Looking forward to that. Meanwhile, it seems he's using the composers from his 'extended family' (Newman with the personal Williams connection, Silvestri with the Spielberg-produced stuff in the past).

It means that when you're playing in a sandbox where many older, talented kids have been doing great stuff, you reach a point where it feels more right to make up your own new games rather than to keep retreading what's already been done excellently.

Hopefully, that will never happen. If that happens, a Spielberg film will be nothing more than a random Hollywood fluff. The only exceptional thing of The BFG is the music. Nolan should also work with Silvestri, Shore or Newman... or Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember the soundbite where he was cackling like a madman that he was launching a full scale assault on traditional film music, taking inspiration from then-Senator Obama's sinister and malicious claim that he would "fundamentally transform this nation". Zimmer is out for blood and won't rest until film music is dead after he's killed it slowly from the inside. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's a sequel which saunas in 90s excess, but the one vs one third act is still almost as entertaining as Arnie vs Predator in the original film.

Jay 37,285 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I actually enjoy the film version much and consider it a worthy sequel. Of course, the original film is WAY better, and a compete and utter classic. But Predator 2 is a fine sequel, certainly loads better than that terrible Predators movie.
