Michael Giacchino's Jupiter Ascending (2015)

[crocodile 8,003]

Well, John Carter wasn't remarkable, but better than what the general consensus seems to be.

Agreed. I thought it was a very average movie. Not as bad as its reputation claims, but not something I'd go back to.

Could say the same about YOU!

I'd rather watch John Carter again than read another post by KK!

Here here! And Crocodile too!

I don´t know about the movie. I like the first Matrix but hated the sequels, don´t care much about Speed Racer and liked Cloud Atlas, but I can´t fu%$´ wait for the score. Giacchino in BIG fantasy mode? . And the music in the trailer sounds promising.

I really like John Carter, (great fantasy movie, "old school" adventure one) and the score (probably Giaccho masterpiece). It´s sad that we are not going to have sequels .

Today we have another new trailer for a scifi movie "Edge of Tomorrow" (also Warner and Village Roadshow like Jupiter):

Damn I like Tom Cruise as an action hero (love his last ones: MI4, Oblivion and Jacke Reacher and this one looks great too). The soundtrack is by the "loved" here Ramin Dwajadi . He is no Giacchino but it could be fun, I really like his Pacific Rim.

[Jay 37,351]

I really like Pacific Rim too, and am warming up to his Game of Thrones music, but had never remotely liked anything he has done otherwise

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Steef, I think you would like John Carter actually (the film I mean). It gets the Neil Bulk (Who?) seal of approval as well.

I'll get to it, eventually. I'm not really much into sci-fi or fantasy really.

Has GOT more good music than the great main theme?? . I´m a fan of the books and the series but I find the music very bland besides the main titles. I know that it gets better specially in the 3rd season but could you imagine GOT with Giacchino music?? .

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Season 3 has a couple of standout cues. Overall it's still very obvious and predictable Zimmer clone scoring.

[Jay 37,351]

Seasons 1 and 2 of GOT had nothing I remotely took notice of whatsoever. While watching Season 3 I heard a few cues I really liked, and they hold up on the CD presentation (which is a CD I never really listen to all the way through, but the standout cues are great)

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Recipe for GoT scoring.

Action/fight scenes = pounding drums

Dramatic scenes = mournfull cello with or without ethnic vocals.

Repeat.

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Stefan, do you work at RCP? Be careful with those trade secrets!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I could work at RCP.

Prove it then!

WB has pushed Jupiter Ascending up a week to July 18. The studio's reclaimed the mid-July spot that's been a good-luck charm for them since 2007.

Have you heard his score for Person of Interest? If not, I highly recommend it. The first season soundtrack is available now, and the second season soundtrack is due out in January if Varese doesn't delay it again.

[Jay 37,351]

I have not.

No problem, ill upload a vid of me banging my hands on the sofa!

And with Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes taking Fast And Furious 7's position, that gives us two big Giacchino scores in one week.

[Jay 37,351]

Nice!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Oh God!

Can we have a separate forum for those scores!

It's certainly unusual. I think the last time one composer had two scores come out in one week was Williams' The Adventures of Tintin and then War Horse in December 2011.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Didn't Giacchino have like 4 scores out within the same month in 2010?

[Matt C 452]

Didn't Giacchino have like 4 scores out within the same month in 2010?

Don't you mean 2011? He had Super 8 on June 10, Cars 2 two weeks after, and Monte Carlo on July 1.

[Jay 37,351]

And he had written 50/50 before all those I think, but that didn't come out until September.

His only score in 2010 was Let Me In.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

And LOST, of course.

New trailer:

New trailer

I can't imagine any of that music is GIacchino's

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Not watching this trailer either, on the off-chance that I decide I want to see the movie. But that still shot of Jupiter looks really nice.

[nightscape94 965]

I have to watch the trailers because I have no desire to see it otherwise. Looks pretty stunning visually though, which is not wholly unexpected with the Wachowskis. I'll see what the reviews are like first.

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

I'm weird about trailers. I watch them only for things I actively want to see, despite the risk of being spoiled (I'm not very bothered by that anyway), but I avoid them for things I have zero or passing interest in. Those, at least, I don't know anything about from the start since I have no interest in them and don't follow them, so if I end up seeing them, I'd rather go in totally blind.

I'm sure that's a completely nonsensical policy.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Sort of, it's usually the opposite. I watch trailers for stuff I've never heard of and sound interesting, and typically avoid them for stuff I know I'm going to see.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

This movie feels like it's going to be a box office bomb that will make John Carter's run look successful.

[crocodile 8,003]

So you're saying that Channing Tatum's screen charisma is no match for that of Keanu Reeves?

I'm surprised that nobody has commented on the fact that the final scoring sessions are currently in progress at Abbey Road.

Well I would have if I had known. Sheesh you expect us to know everything!

[Faleel 5,346]

EDITED FOR STUPIDITY.

[Jay 37,351]

I don't use twitter, I rely on people who do coming here and sharing developments as they get posted there

Yeah I am lazy that way too.

The film (and thus, sadly, Giacchino's score) has been delayed until February 2015.

That's a bummer. I guess the waiting continues...

[King Mark 3,631]

I saw a trailer at the cinema recently..oh well

[Jay 37,351]

Wow, shocking news!

[King Mark 3,631]

A Febuary release date to top

the movie must really really suck

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

More like Jupiter Descending!

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

Hey, I already made that joke in another thread!

[gkgyver 1,645]

First John Carter (Of Mars), now Jupiter Ascending. Maybe Giacchino should stay away from movies with planets.

I certainly don't need the track title "And Here Is Uranus".

[KK 3,307]

I would not be surprised to see that pop up.

Disney hit gold with Alice in Wonderland being released in March two years prior, I don't blame the studio for doing the same with John Carter. Problem with John Carter was the novice director and sky-high budget.

Frankly, I'm surprised WB waited until the eleventh hour to push Jupiter Ascending to February 2015. But this summer's been tough on them (apart from Godzilla), and maybe they think something like this may do better in a less-competitive month.
