Ollie 1,375 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 What a shame, Silvestri's Captain America was very good.Oh well I'm saving money but not having to buy all these crappy scores. It's hard to believe there will be only one score from all the summer blockbusters this year that I will end up buying, well I've already bought it.There was a time when I would have grabbed a bunch of the summer flicks. Oh well, different era that had much better composers and studio heads who appreciated good music in films.
Jay 46,244 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Looks like Carter Burwell will be scoring Thor 2RUMOR: Carter Burwell No Longer Scoring THOR 2; Marvel Unhappy With Alan TaylorAnd the replacement composer is none other than Brian Tyler:http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/06/18/brian-tyler-to-score-thor-the-dark-world/
Jay 46,244 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Well, Brian Tyler is also scoring next summer's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot by Michael Bay (same source as above)
movied 24 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Soon: Brian Tyler to take over all Marvel scoring duties.
filmmusic 3,269 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I am not sure if anyone is interested here (i had started a thread at FSM) but as it turns out, Rachel Portman will be scoring the upcoming biopic about princess Diana, called "DIANA".Looking forward to it, escpecially if it's along the lines of "Never let me Go".
Jay 46,244 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Looks like Brian Tyler will be scoring Avengers 2 as well....http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=81897
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Damn, although The Avengers wasn't the best of Silvestri's works, it was still a lot of fun and I was really expecting him to return...
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Tyler is the New John Williams.Okay he's not.
Rachael Foley 10,162 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Of course, obviously he is the next Goldsmith.
Ollie 1,375 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Well we complained about the lack of musical continuity with all these different composers.Now we're getting a steady dose of one.
publicist 4,650 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Marco Beltrami replaces AR Rahman on SEVENTH SON, a historical fantasy movie.
Incanus 5,890 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 ^The other 'next Goldsmith'This "next Goldsmith" didn't really break through at any point. He has sort of been there since Scream. I feel that Beltrami has always been rather workman-like in his output apart from a few surprising gems like Soul Surfer and Hellboy. But I guess long term endurance in film scoring business is better than overnight 15 minutes of fame (I am looking at you Gustavo Santaolalla and Ludovic Bource).
publicist 4,650 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Which of the Hollywood composers in the last 15 years is not best characterized by the term 'workmanlike'? Horner, Elfman, JNH, Zimmer, Silvestri, you name it.

filmmusic 3,269 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I am looking at you Gustavo Santaolalla and Ludovic Bource.Well, Hazanavicius is preparing a Hollywood movie from what it seems (with Tom Hanks) so we may see him again there! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2123969/reference
Matt C 605 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 In a shocking turn of events, James Horner's score for Romeo & Juliet was rejected. Abel Korzeniowski recorded a brand new score at the end of last month.http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/07/11/abel-korzeniowski-scoring-carlo-carleis-romeo-juliet/
Jay 46,244 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 OH MY GOODNESS!That is seriously the most shocking film-score-replacement news I have heard in a long time.There have already been test screenings of the film with Horner's score in it - check out this FSM thread, where Horner's score is discussed.http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=92203&forumID=1&archive=0I was really looking forward to it, it sounded like an awesome score!!
Matt C 605 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 At least they got a good replacement composer.... and am I right, is this Horner's first rejected score?
crocodile 9,724 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 We don't know if he ever wrote anything for that.Karol
Matt C 605 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Ender's Game.I don't think Horner even started recording on Ender's Game... was it a Silvestri type situation where he did some demo cues and the producers didn't like it? I think R&J is the first Horner score where he'd composed and recorded an complete score that got scrapped.
Jay 46,244 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Correct, he didn't record anything, or even write anything. It's just the closest I could think of.
publicist 4,650 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I think R&J is the first Horner score where he'd composed and recorded an complete score that got scrapped.He was thrown off STREETS OF FIRE; YOUNG GUNS and HEAVEN HELP US.
publicist 4,650 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Even better, with tracked Hercules music from a 50's movie.
crocodile 9,724 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 And Tanja Tzarovska giving her absolute worst!Karo
chuck 155 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Why, what other misfortunes befell the legendary horner this year?
chuck 155 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 So is this the start of his decline? Will he go the same route that befell John Barry, Maurice Jarre, Elmer Bernstein, even Jerry Goldsmith?
Jay 46,244 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Poor James Horner, having a really rough year. Zimmer's replaced him on Amazing Spiderman 2https://twitter.com/aimeecastle/status/358068175637716992

Koray Savas 2,260 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Michael Nyman has replaced Bruce Hornsby on Spike Lee's Oldboy.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Really? Well Hornsby isn't a film composer, older rock musician. Nyman scored Gattaca, and I think primarily sticks to concert works in recent years. I think it's an inspired choice. Marian will certainly be happy. I think Karol likes him as well.
Incanus 5,890 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Michael Nyman has replaced Bruce Hornsby on Spike Lee's Oldboy.Michael Nyman's score is rejected!From his Facebook page:OLDBOY UPDATE!!!! Spike Lee loves my score. Unfortunately the producers, Matt Leonetti and Audrey Something-or-Other [of WeTakethePiss Productions] don't like the soundtrack and [despite, or because of, their boast that 'we know nothing about music'] have rejected it. But at least some good comes out of it: my 11th Symphony will be called 'Spiked' [by analogy with journalists' work which is commissioned, printed in galley proof form, rejected and consigned to oblivion by being hung on a spike sticking out of the wall close to the editor's desk].
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Damn, hopefully it sees the light of day at some point.
Incanus 5,890 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I don't think they had even recorded any of it yet.
