We have lost one of the most talented and brilliant people who we had the privilege of knowing and working with.

crocodile 7,983 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Makes me wonder... Maybe there was more to that whole Blade Runner replacement than just "creative differences". I'm speculating, of course. It doesn't matter anyway... It's really sad. Very talented and unique voice. I really liked his Sicario score.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Wow, what a shock. Such a promising voice in film scoring gone too soon. Think that explains the recent strangeness with his projects. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Too soon. Too young. He was just starting to spread his wings too, in film music at least. He was on his way to really make his mark in that realm. Shame to see another unique voice gone. 9 minutes ago, crocodile said: Makes me wonder... Maybe there was more to that whole Blade Runner replacement than just "creative differences". I'm speculating, of course. He has been sort of "radio-silent" on Facebook since the Blade Runner news (aside from the occasional review/concert and whatnot). I might imagine that the last year has been a hard one for him.

John 2,032 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Very sad news to hear...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Odd to see so much speculation on his recent career when the cause of death is not even known, but alas, it is JWFan. Shocked to see this news in passing on my Facebook feed. I loved what he did with Sicario and Arrival, and was disappointed to hear when Zimmer and Wallfisch took over on Blade Runner 2049. RIP.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Whoa, WTH? Makes his scores for Blade Runner 2049, and Mother being scrapped, even more disappointing now. This is such sad news too. His score for Sicario is very unnerving, and he could have had a long career ahead of himself. 49 is way too young.

Drew 590 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It was stated that he was found dead after being report missing for a couple days. This was probably a sudden event. Maybe an unexpected medical issue, suicide, or someone broke into his apartment? This is very sad and I hope there is closure soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Thought I had misread the headline when I saw it on Reddit earlier. He made an impressive mark in just a few years of Hollywood scoring. Definitely someone I was looking forward to hearing more from. 48, tragic thing all-around. Best I can hope for is that he had been feeling good lately physically/mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm truly sorry, and sad to read of this. I bought THE MERCY last week. I guess I'll not listen to it in the same way, again... I thought that ARRIVAL was a fine score, and I'd looked forward to BR2049. I've no wish to sound selfish, nor morbid, but perhaps we'll now get to hear his unused 2049 score (what there is of it)? RIP Mr. Jóhannsson; the world of film music has lost a truly original voice.

Lord Zimmer 211 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Goddamn man, only 48 I think there is a clip floating around the internet of him playing his BR2049 theme, for those interested.
