YES!!! http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/03/05/michael-giacchino-to-score-jupiter-ascending/

How likely is it that the LSO will continue to record the new Star Wars movies? Given that Ep. 7 has an unconfirmed release date of May 2015. Scoring would take place a few months prior like in Feb or March. Do you think the Hollywood Studio Symphony could pull this off? I guess hypothetically JW could write the music and have someone else conduct it, but I'm guessing he gets a lot of satisfaction of conducting them live. Any thoughts ? ! ADMIN NOTE: On March 21st it was officially confirmed to be in LA. http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23272&p=1105384

The OST is up on various Amazons, listed as an "import" on all of them - and therefore, quite expensive. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ http://www.amazon.in/dp/B00T5C3SHG/ What's up with that? Anyways here's a clip of the film with Zimmer's score in it

2015 is not only a big year for Hollywood blockbusters in general, but a big year for a lot of film composers as well. I'll start by highlighting 3 of them: It's a big year for MICHAEL GIACCHINO. He's got Jupiter Ascending, his second collaboration with The Wachowskis. This one's already out, so there isn't much more to say about it. Tomorrowland, his fourth collaboration with Brad Bird, after The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Mission: Impossible 4. The film looks to be a fun fantasy adventure film that will give Giacchino a wide brush to paint wish, without being so unabashedly extravagant like Jupiter Ascending. Can't wait. Jurassic World, his first collaboration with director Colin Trevorrow, but his fourth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise (he scored three video games: The Lost World, Chaos Island, and Warpath). He will be using John Williams' themes, something he has previously done on Star Tours... and of course he has quoted John Williams as an inspiration many times. I imagine he is incredibly excited about this project, and will come up with something really special. Really looking forward to it. Inside Out, his second collaboration with Pete Docter, after Up. Out of the four, this is actually the one I'm most looking forward to. I mean, it's one of the rare big budget films coming out this year that isn't a sequel, prequel, reboot, or based on an existing property, and it's Pixar, and the score to Up was great. And the film is about the personified emotions of a young girl, so is ripe for a wild fantastical score. Really can't wait for this one! It's also a big year for JAMES HORNER - his biggest year since 2005!! Wow! He's got: Wolf Totem, his fourth collaboration with Jean-Jacques Annaud, after The Name of the Rose, Enemy At The Gates, and Black Gold. Looks like some kind of adventure film set in China, should be neat! The 33, about the Chilean mining disaster, directed by Patricia Riggen. Not sure what to expect about this one until a trailer comes out. Southpaw, a boxing movie directed by Antoine Fuqua. The film's got a good cast - Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, Naomie Harris, Forest Whitaker - but a lot of times these types of movies don't have much score in them. This one might not get a score release, who knows. Living in the Age of Airplanes, an IMAX documentary formerly called Aviation: The Invisible Highway. We know about Horner's obsession with planes and flying - this could end up being amazing! And of course, it's the biggest year in a while for JOHN WILLIAMS as well. He's got St. James Place (working title), his (!!) collaboration with Steven Spielberg. A cold war thriller starring Tom Hanks, this has potential to be a pretty cool score, I think! Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens, his first collaboration with J.J. Abrams, and seventh score in the franchise. What more needs to be said!? Any thoughts on these scores? And what other scores in 2015 are you looking forward to, everyone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_in_film
