Or you know, Zimmerco.
If you put John Williams in a dryer, you get Jerry Goldsmith! You get the downside version!

It's nice to know that Silvestri is busier than ever.
BTW, whatever happened to Randy Newman? After finishing Toy Story 3, he seems to have dropped off the map. Has he chosen exile?

Pino Donaggio is scoring the film Passion directed by Brian DePalma. exciting news
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

I do not know if this should be in the thread since Horner has already scored the film and it has been released but he should have another score coming out this year for a film called For Greater Glory. I wonder when they are going to release the soundtrack album for it any time soon.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Yea he wrote and recorded For Greater Glory (which was called Cristiada at the time) in 2011, before he recorded Black Gold! I too am surprised there has not been a OST CD announced yet. It's a nice, short little score, with spanish guitar, lots of the danger motif, and a theme reminiscent of the finale from Aliens.

It came out this past Friday, in a semi-limited U.S. release in 757 theaters. We have it, and Horner's score is lovely (especially the end credits cue). It has the flaws LeBlanc mentioned, but it's worth listening to.

Jablonsky doing noir? I mean the guy does have some range, but noir? I don't see it working. Burwell was a good fit.

You don't see it working?
Koray, by all that is good and decent on this earth, if there is one thing the history of Remote Control composers has taught us, then it's that they will plaster the movie they are doing with their music, regardless of its content.

I won't bother going into this again. Listen to Steamboy or D-War, or Flyboys and The Great Raid and stop stereotyping RCP composers based on their Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer blockbusters.

Alexandre Desplat will score Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty:

Interesting. I would've thought Bigelow would've gone back to Beltrami or someone else for this pic.

Brian Tyler Will score "Iron Man 3"

Huh, thought Ottman was a lock due to his previous collaboration with Shane Black. Not a bad choice, we could've got Djawadi again.

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.

"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

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.

Don't worry, he said in an interview he won't use the danger motif at all this time. He also said he wrote a menacing four-note theme for Romeo and Juliet tragic story, though....
