Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The idea that Williams is aware of the current state of film music and listens to the recent film music of some other composers enough to be able to recommend one or two is an interesting albeit pleasing notion.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 In an interview many years ago, someone asked Williams what he thought of the young rising talent -he spoke very fondly of James Horner and James Newton Howard in particular.

MikeH 768 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I kind of hope JW did a full-fledged arrangement of the Han Solo theme, but I'm guessing he just wrote a basic sketch. The change in style between Williams and Powell might be a bit jarring, plus I'd love to just hear the theme exclusively realized by Powell. We'll know soon!

Manakin Skywalker 4,892 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I've always wanted a JNH SW score... too bad he couldn't do it. But JP is a great composer as well. Really the only two people I would be upset if they hired are Alexander Desplat or Hans Zimmer (or any of Hans' talentless lackies).

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'm relieved you don't consider JP among the Zimmer lackies. (Though a lackey like Lorne Balfe has done okay stuff here and there, like Lego Batman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received this offer and accepted it, but it soon turned out that I would not be able to compose this music. All because the recording session will take place exactly on the date of the "Nutcracker" session, and this is also a very big production ... It can not be reconciled. So I had to refuse, which broke my heart because there is no better film for the composer than Star Wars. Well, but you can not have everything. Maybe next time. I just talked to Larry and told me that everything in this film, despite previous problems [change of director, he became Ron Howard - cars], goes very well.

Although Howard has made comments recently (I think it was the liners for LLL's Wyatt Earp) that he was moving away from the melodic approach he displayed during the early 00s, so it's hard to judge what sort of approach he'd have taken. Powell on the other hand, when he's not doing more minimalist music for thrillers, goes all out with fun music. If for example, we get anything along the lines of HTTYD, this could be good. But having said that, everyone got very rosy-tinted with RPO, and I found that a disappointment, so anything could happen...

I daresay JNH delivered one of the most melodically elaborate and beautiful scores of his career in Fantastic Beasts and is releasing a sequel this year. So I dunno it's accurate that he's moving away from that sound. leeallen01, Cerebral Cortex and Pieter Boelen 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I stand corrected - Fantastic Beasts was indeed a return to a melodic approach. His output can vary in style more than other composers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 JNH is in full melodic mode these days. Fantastic Beasts, The Huntsman, the incredible suites from Red Sparrow, and now he's doing The Nutcracker, Fantastic Beasts 2. I think he would completely cover a Star Wars film with lovely melodies.

Well, Powell never scored an event movie* that's for sure ( the last time was, nothing ) And the last powell movie i watched in a theatre was HTTYD2, and the music's poorly mixed! But that wont be the case here, as Star Wars gives a guarantee for a beautifully mixed music.( I mean i was more interested in Giacchhinooo's RO after i'd seen the movie in theatre, eventough we all now that, even under those tight circumtances, RO's music is just very mediocre ) imagine the feel, for me as a Powell fan, my god, really cant wait *) An event movie is mega blockbuster franchise movies in the line of SW, MCU, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
