Those graphics look pretty bad and the first film was boring as hell. Any other reason to go see this piece of crap?

Well, there is Navarrete's score. I'd love to see what he comes up with! Obviously going to be a 100 times better than the Djawadi mess.

The Englishman has returned! Let the bells ring! Rejoice! Rejoice!

[tharpdevenport]

What, clearly Ramin provided a modern masterpiece that we're just all too stupid to recognize. ;-)

We have to come to accpet that we've gone from/to:

"The Day the Earth Sood Still"
Herrmann to Tyler Bates

"Conan the Barbarian"
Poledouris to Tyler Bates

"Clash of the Titans"
Barry > Rosenthal to Armstrong > Ramin Djawasometingorother

"Total Recall"
Poledouris > Goldsmith to Harry Greson-Williams

"Judge Dred"
Goldsmith > Arnold > two other composers > Alan Silvestri to Paul Leonard-Morgan

"Logan's Run"
Goldsmith to (unless it changes from until shooting) Johnny Jewel

"Superman"
John Williams to ?????. Been a while since we had Tyler Bates...

"Superman"

With the new Superman film, its going to be "John Williams to Tyler Bates"

How interesting...

I hope that people knew I was being sarcastic
...or was I?

You cross your mind.

Still no Superman composer announced.

Oh, oops. Sorry, I forgot. Who knows? Maybe we'll have another composer fit for the task.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be hearing the theme anymore. And I've always believed that Superman couldn't fly without his theme

[Alexcremers]

The new Tarsem:

[Taikomochi]

That looks even worse than the other Snow White movie...

[Alexcremers]

It sure does, but hey, it's the new Tarsem!

[Wycket]

Someone needs to tell him that their is more to filmmaking than visuals. Can you do a film that just sweeping visuals without terrible dialogue and acting? Sure, The Artist proves that a silent film can still work, so maybe he should try this approach. I'm quite surprised Kubrick never did a non talkie as it seemed that all he ever cared about from 2001 was the mise en scene and that the rest took a back seat. But that's a different discussion.

Either way, both Snow White movies will be terrible. If they prove to be otherwise I will be utterly shocked.

[Alexcremers]

I sorta feel it's my duty to let you know about this ...

[Chaac]

Bad idea!

Last time I checked he was unfamiliar with the book.

[Alexcremers]

True. Also, was there any word in that article about another Watchmen movie?

[Wojo]

[Jason LeBlanc]

ha!

[Matt C]

You cross your mind.

If it was Tyler Bates, he would've signed on already. He was working on providing temp score for Watchmen as they were shooting that pic, as well as song arrangements for Sucker Punch with Marius de Vries.

I have a feeling it'll be someone else, since Snyder went with mostly new crew members for Superman (writers, cinematographer, editor). But if it's Bates, no big surprise.

[Koray Savas]

Didn't Snyder say he initially wanted Zimmer, but Zimmer said no?

[crocodile]

More of a schedule conflict, I think.

[Quint]

Maybe finding a composer to fill those huge, HUGE boots is proving more difficult than anticipated. The new kids on the block I imagine are rather sensitive to what they read about themselves online on places like AICN. Can you imagine the potential backlash from those whom are fond of Williams' untouchable original?

It'll take a composer with balls to score it.

[Koray Savas]

More of a schedule conflict, I think.

Karol

For some reason I remember reading that Zimmer said he didn't want to try and take on Williams' original, because he simply would fail.

[Quint]

I'd love to read that interview snippet. If true, much kudos to Zimmer.

[Koray Savas]

Looking back on the news, there was that false story that got around where Zimmer "said" he'd have to try and reinvent the music. Then there's the real one where he says he's working on Batman and has never thought about scoring a Superman film.

But he has said multiple times in the past that Williams is better than him. That's probably where my mind got it from.

[Quint]

Yeah they all say that. Elfman put it best, i think.

"There's all of us, and then there's John Williams."

[Matt C]

Didn't Snyder say he initially wanted Zimmer, but Zimmer said no?

I think so. An admin for Superman Homepage visited the set in Illinois, and Zack Snyder said that Zimmer was the first composer he wanted to score Man of Steel. I'm curious if a further in-depth interview next year will reveal Snyder's other picks...

[KK.]

In response to the reaction of his refusal to take on the project, Zimmer said that messing with Williams' Superman theme would be like rewriting Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, or something like that.

Glad to know that the man still respects the maestro. Only God knows what Zimmer would have done with the theme....

[BloodBoal]

Posters for Wrath Of The Titans. You've got to admit, the second one kicks gigantic ass!

[Quint]

Looks like God of War: The Movie.

Dreadful, but done right it could be good in an AvP sort of way.

However that is highly unlikely since the directors of this breed of movie usually do not have any concept of irony.

[KK.]

Looks like an overblown CGI crapfest if you ask me.

At least these flicks are supposed to be mildly entertaining if you shut your brain off...but God the first movie was so DAMN BORING! Maybe its partially due to the fact Sam Worthington can't act to save his life...

[tharpdevenport]

Looks like a huge pile of Titan shit. You could litterally NOT pay me enough to see that. If it were free on TV, I'd whip out and read Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" a sixth time.

I'll give Javier Navarette's score a chance, but I won't get hopes up too high.

[KK.]

Javier Navarette is a great composer, so I have faith in the score.

[KK.]

I don't if this has been posted already, but just thought I'd put it out anyways. The film definitely looks better than I thought it would (considering I thought it would be trash without the old director and Damon on board). Still don't think this will be as good as the trilogy though. And those Psycho transitions are so freakin' annoying when it takes up 90% of the trailer... I say bad trailer, but I am intrigued for the film.

[Wycket]

Yeah, the effect is overdone in the trailer but it looks like, judging from the poster, that its going to be the asthetical theme for the movie so might as well get used to it.

Personally, I'm just glad to see a sationary camera again. For me, Identity was the best of the previous 3 as the steady cam was just way too overused in those film and was nauseating at times at theaters. Hopefully, Gillroy will create a more entertaining film than the last one of his that I saw (Dulplicity).

[Koray Savas]

Gilroy is superb, and he wrote the previous films so it's not like he's new to the franchise. Duplicty was a bit too convoluted for its own good, but it was fun, which was the point. Michael Clayton is one of my favorite films of the 00s.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Terence Malick has two films on the way, and they will both star Natalie Portman
