Luke Skywalker 1,805 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hmmm, I wonder who's going to do the music. ~HarryWilliam Ross, Don Davis, Joel McNeely... John Williams followers...mmm... how would john williams do it? he would use the same themes?Anyways it is not Superman 5, it is Superman I again, isnt it? so Williams music should not be used (a shame ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricard 2,245 Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hmmm, I wonder who's going to do the music. Probably Danny Elfman. He scored Ratner's 'Family Man' and the upcoming 'Red Dragon'http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0218967http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0289765 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter 0 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Lalo Schifrin did three movies for Ratner, which were Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, and Money Talks.Whoever does the music, I think it should be by Johnny. Who wants to have two high profile Superman themes? I certainly don't.He isn't busy in the next couple years, so this movie could fit in his schedule. Although, he may pretend he's busy like he did for The Hulk. ~Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Oh, Lalo, yes!!!!!!!I preferred the Tim Burton project......but it was cancelled.And next we will have Petersen's Batman Vs. Superman.How many Supermans!!!scissorhands - who does NOT want a new Williams Superman score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricard 2,245 Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 Lalo Schifrin did three movies for Ratner, which were Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, and Money Talks.I know. But if you are familiar with Schifrin's style, you'll see that Superman is not exactly his type of score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 The new Superman will surprise with urbane, jazzy charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 If Williams doesn't do it (and I'm sure he won't, he's done his Superman score let someone else have a shot), why not David Arnold? The Musketeer already sounds like it anyway. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross 1 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Since no one else says it, Ricard, thank you for the link. -ROSS, more interested in the Smallville news, since he's recently discovered this really good new show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKevin 0 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Ain't official until WB announces it. Relying on Latino Review doesn't exactly sit well with me on this news tidbit. While it IS more than likely true, and I hope to Christ it is true, since McG would be off, it just isn't true right now. For me, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsawruk 0 Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 While all the composers named so far would score the film well, I would most like to see either Lalo or Elfman do it personally. But that's just me.Maybe ocelot should score it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelot 508 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Although seriously... Not Elfman. I mean he gave us a theme for Batman and then Spiderman sort of was a mish mash of sound, no real theme, I wouldn;t want that for Superman too. Xmen dont have a theme either... WHATS UP WITH THAT?!

Guest Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 If J.J. Abrams has anything to say about it (since he is the writer) maybe he'll ask Ratner to consider Michael Giacchino for the job...?Erik - One big Giacchino supporter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyMaker 0 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Can anyone create a new theme for Jaws??How about for Star Wars??E.T. or Raiders??Absolutely none of the above. Hence, if Ratner doesn't use Williams to reprise his role as Superman composer, and use his main theme, then already it will be a dismal failure. After all, all of us here know that there can't be a Jaws, E.T., Star Wars, nor Superman without the score. The score is not just there to make a movie pretty, but to give the movie its wings. No Williams, then Superman will not fly. My gut seemed to tell me that if Williams is approached and his schedule permits, he will accept it, since he loved scoring the first one. I just hope that Ratner will not just concentratre on special effects, making it to be X-men type of movie, which is enjoyable, but it doesn't linger in your soul. Unlike Superman, who's music we all revere to this day, more than 20 years later. Brett, if you're reading this, go after Williams, and beg him. Get on your knees!! You won't ever, EVER, regret it!!!Don't be funny and try Elfman or Schifrin. Don't concentrate on a Superman special effects, action film, because that's too cartoony. Soul, need to have soul, and Williams music has soul. He's a white man with a black soul!You dig me, man??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 and then Spiderman sort of was a mish mash of sound, no real theme!I don't agree,the main titles for spiderman are pretty good.It's one of the rare non-Williams soundtracks I bought in a looooong time.K.M.
