II really enjoy Beltrami now and then.

I wish David Arnold worked more. I feel I am always yearning for more Arnold scores in my life.

For Iron Man, yes. Overall they are more or less the same, but I haven't listened to Djawadi for a couple years. Need to listen to Fright Night, Game Of Thrones, and Safe House.

He, like most RCP composers, is quite underrated. I love his Fly Me To The Moon score, and his pair of MOH scores are good.

Debney does a good job once in awhile, Tyler is the same but his style is more Zimmer/Powell than anything else.

Djawadi's score for Iron Man was boring and generic -- I watched the movie again yesterday, and it was just generic music wallpaper (at least Debney's sequel score was energetic and fun). Djawadi's improved a lot with Game of Thrones and what I heard of Fright Night, but I still don't want him doing another IM film.

At least Iron Man had a theme in Djawadi's score. Debney's orchestral bombast is the definition of generic.

There was? It must've come out one ear and went out the next, because I couldn't remember it. That's how bland it was.

But Djawadi's work is definitely improving. His work on Game of Thrones outstrips Iron Man in every way possible... especially the theme. That alone just gives me chills.

Yeah Horner will probably do his bloated melodrama routine on Romeo and Juliet (and hopefully with less danger motif) but I am sure it will be entertaining.

I thought Iron Man had a theme in Iron Man 2? The Poledouris-sounding theme.

Its being discussed in the Ender's Game thread. Just click on the Upcoming Films tag of another thread that has that tag to find it easily

A couple of tidbits that could interests fellas here.

Brian Tyler is now scoring Iron Man 3 @ Abbey Road with the London Philharmonic:

Ron Howard tweeted a few days ago about Hans Zimmer's score to his upcoming Formula 1 pic Rush:

It's been discussed in the film's "official" thread.

Oh cool I didn't know there was a thread like that.

In either case: I'm excited.

James Horner is scoring Ender's Game. Couldn't find any mention of his elsewhere on the forum. Interesting choice, if you ask me. He tends to write good music for s-f.

Karol

don't you mean he's adapting the score for Ender's Game since you know it's all stolen works.

Tyler was busy, but there was a also a tax cut for using a Spanish composer. See here:

In other news, it looks like Christophe Beck has been replaced on RIPD, because it no longer appears on his agency page, but used to

Interesting... I never heard that before. I guess that also explains why Federico Jusid is scoring 300: Rise of an Empire and why Javier Navarrete scored Wrath of the Titans.

But it seems inconsistent. I guess if you're not a name director or your choice of composer isn't in the contract, you're at the mercy of film producers picking the composer for financial reasons.

Posted

I wonder if that tax cut for using Spanish composers only applies to films shot or had post-production work done in the UK...

Even though it seems confining, it's a good position for more Spanish composers' work to break out in the U.S.. Certainly wouldn't be opposed to seeing Fernando Velazquez or Roque Banos do more mainstream work due to that.

... although with the penny-pinching Marvel Studios has done in terms of budgeting and having the scores performed by UK musicians, you wonder why they didn't 'encourage' Spanish composers like their big studio brethren have.

Looks like Carter Burwell will be scoring Thor 2:

Why? If Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is any indication, Burwell will probably reference Doyle's themes.

I was actually shocked to read Burwell's involvement. Wasn't expecting him to do a Marvel Studios film.

Posted

More awesome for you than if Doyle returned?

Posted

No surprise there!

Posted

Stanton is apparently working on another live action film, too, and I hope he returns to Giacchino for that one. I'm excited by the possibilities.

Posted

I'm much more familiar with Burwell as a composer. I liked Doyle's score for the first but then again I also preferred his Apes score that year.

Posted

As did I. I didn't like Thor that much to be honest.

Baños/Velázquez + Marvel = Oooooh
