Apparently neither Holkenborg or Zimmer actually created the Wonder Woman rift. That was Tina Guo, who also performed it, at least if an interview I read anything to go by.
QuoteHow did you get into the Wonder Woman mindset?
I tried to channel a feeling of aggression and power but in a way that's a little more refined. For me when I hear it, it's just very powerful and strong. I wanted to emulate my favorite band in the world, Rammstein, the German industrial metal band. I love their music because it’s balls to the wall, raw, carnal energy.

I found this quote.

Zimmer and Mazzaro. With Mazzaro dealing with the cuts where Superman rescues Lois. I imagine this way because he is also credited as composer/arranger for This Is My World, remake of If You Love These* People of Man of Steel. But are subjective credits. They're just on their website.

Transformers movie.
I remember that loud music was the first reason for me to reject it.

Indiana Jones were the first movies to impress me with the louder music mix. But this was good.

The result is not your best, but it's easy to forgive him for it. The guy has been thinking about working with SW for all his life and he suddenly sees the possibility of doing it, but he can not give it all because of the time. Maybe if it was not SW, with all the hype around of the project, he would have done something better.
Yeah, he doesn't look like a 50 years old.
About the bland puns (they still do not make sense):
QuoteYeah, it’s become somewhat of a thing, and it is a group effort. It actually started when I was working on Alias with my music editor, Stephen Davis. We would have these little contests about who could come up with the best title for the cue. He won most of the time, because he is really great at it. When I started working on other films with different music editors, they wanted to keep it up. It became a little contest between all of us, and it’s something we continue to this day. Some people love them, and some consider it the lowest of humour.

I listened to these two from Newman and was lucky enough to find the song "Red River Valley" (a reference to a book I read about five years ago). I did not even remember the name of the song and I recognized it on the moment I set my eyes on the title of the track.
The two scores are so full of life.
Thomas Newman has a singular representation of this feeling. -
The author hints at the pressure on making Giacchino the direct successor to Williams as one of the reasons.

I've never heard someone say that they though the droid march was Obi-Wan's theme, but they're wrong.
(That's my YouTube video by the way!)
I saw it on some place in YT.
Wow
I'm one of those "likes" too
-
Probably Desplat will have this one.
I did not know the suite for Qui Gon
Does Obi Wan too have a theme?
Other than the twin suns?
Many people assume that the theme of the army of droids is his. -
He is listed on IMDB.

Oh it certainly is questionable. This is such a bullshit "Williams is KING!" post. You doubt the mainstream consciousness of The Good The Bad And The Ugly, Titanic, Back To The Future, The Pink Panther, Psycho, etc? Film music doesn't revolve around Williams.
YES! JOHNNY IS THE KING !!!
I say that in the popular context Williams will always be a step ahead of all the other composers. Not that there are not classics like Apollo 11, The Godfather, Braveheart, The Magnificent Seven, Batman, 1492 and so many others. However in the historical context all will be remembered as a reflection of each era and state of the cinematographic art. Some will be remembered for having a varied repertoire, others for having scored important movies, others for having influenced a cinematography genre and so on...

Your timescale is off, here. Neither Williams nor Zimmer, nor any other film composer, maybe, can be "properly" evaluated from an historical perspective yet. Many decades are needed for biases to soften and honest appraisals to be made. I expect both JW and HZ will be highly regarded, but it is way too soon to suggest, as you do, that Williams already enjoys some ensconced position. Talk to some stringently classical people. You'll see, there's a way to go.
In 30, 40, 50, 60, 100 years people will remember Williams. They will also remember Zimmer, Horner, Morricone, Goldsmith, Silvestri, Elfman, Mancini, Goldenthal, Hermann, Rozna .... But among all these the only one, or one of the few that will keep more than a single theme in the memory of most people, will be Williams. This is unquestionable.

This "old" action piece by Doyle!
-
Desplat's Moonrise Kingdom. It's a beautiful, affable, curious and enlightened score.
-
No, but he is one of the producers.
"I was trying to imagine something positive in this situation"
-
This is not such a strange situation in Scott's career.
Already happened to Goldsmith and the Tangerine Dream in "The Legend", Marc Streitefeld * in "Prometheus" with Harry GW and even Alberto Iglesias in "Exodus".
Certainly the contribution of these two will be limited to some tracks as happened in the most recent scores. -

Ignore whatever FSM say and refer back to the French Villeneuve quote posted.

The link is broken!
I searched on the around and found it.
It is an effort "collective" in an bad way.

Disappointing.
I was looking at what Johansson would do with this one.
Now it will be a troubled score.
A mixture of what Johansson did, with the atmospheres of Wallfisch horror movies and the Zimmer's old maneirisms.

Schindler's list
But I think I've heard this one on another previous Horner's score.

I think it will sound more like his recent concert works than anything else he's done on film, with the exception of X-Men 3 and some parts of HTTYD2.
I'm not so familiar with his work on concerts, but I believe JP will emulate JW style as well as MG. The fans want it to be this way.
Most people's thoughts:

Well, what we have so far is a poster. It may have been a case of misinterpretation.
