Matt C 452 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Christopher McQuarrie is stepping back for the sequel and taking an executive producer credit. Paramount and Skydance are negotiating with Edward Zwick & Marshall Herskovitz (The Last Samurai) to rewrite Richard Wenk's script, with Zwick planning to direct.http://variety.com/2015/film/news/tom-cruise-jack-reacher-2-ed-zwick-directing-1201500583/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Edward Zwick has directed 11 films. James Newton Howard has only scored 4 of them. He has also worked with James Horner 3 times, and Miles Goodman, WG Snuffy Walden, Graeme Revell, and Hans Zimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 He hasn't used another composer in the past decade. Howard recently scored a film he produced. If he directs, Howard will score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You don't think Christopher McQuarrie has the power to have Joe Kraemer return to score? Especially after Tom Cruise liked the score so much he bothered to write praise for it in the OST's liner notes, and then had him score MI5?

nightscape94 965 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Not in its entirety, maybe 6 tracks. Enough to think it was pretty good. Better than a lot of cookie cutter garbage that's around these days. I wasn't implying that Kraemer wasn't up to the task, just that I didn't understand the fear about JNH, a composer of high caliber, replacing him.For the record, I am not familiar with Kraemer's Jack Reacher score. I've seen the movie a few times, love it, but do not recall any stand out cues or musical markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The main and end titles of Jack Reacher are excellent. The middle is mostly suspense music. The car chase scene in the movie never had a score cue written for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I wasn't implying that Kraemer wasn't up to the task, just that I didn't understand the fear about JNH, a composer of high caliber, replacing him.For the record, I am not familiar with Kraemer's Jack Reacher score. I've seen the movie a few times, love it, but do not recall any stand out cues or musical markers.Ditto all of this. No idea why it would be a problem for JNH to be scoring anything. I'm not familiar with either Kraemer or his score for JR, but it sounds like I need to look into it.On the main subject of the thread: I find I'm really excited about the idea of a sequel. Reacher's one of the best "action" characters to come along in years—and I put that in quotes because he was more distinctive for his intelligence than his fisticuffs or driving abilities. (I loved the moment when his car gets stuck going in reverse toward the bad guys' hideout. He didn't pull a Jason Stratham or an Arnold, where they would've acted like that was part of their plan all along. He was really stuck, in a dilemma, not knowing what to do next. It was a great, authentic moment.) In a lot of ways, Reacher's a better role for Cruise than Ethan Hunt, who I like but is much more intense and centered around straightforward action. Reacher's a thinker, a deliberator, and takes action only when it's necessary and he has a pretty good measure on what's involved. JR was a fantastic film, and I would love to see this character doing more . . . which is the best foundation for any sequel, really. Actually, though, I'm far more concerned with the switch at director than at composer. McQuarrie did such a phenomenal job establishing that particular atmosphere, I can't help but worry that Zwick won't be able to reproduce it. But he deserves the shot, I suppose, and I'll definitely be in line to see the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,983 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Uni, I have no problem with JNH scoring this film as such. But would rather have an upcoming "new" composer getting as many high profile projects as possible. Why? Because he did a really good job on the previous film. Besides, thriller genre is not where JNH exceeds the most so I doubt he would come up with anything slectacular for this project.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
