BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 You are directing a series of films, each from a different genre. It is time to pick who will score each of your movies, with one catch. You can use each film composer only once. Your movies are from the following genres:Horror:Drama:Action/Adventure:Sci-Fi:Comedy:Mystery:Romance:Fantasy:...Time is money in Hollywood, so you'd better find your composers fast.Guidlines: You can use any composer you'd like for each genre, BUT YOU MAY ONLY USE HIM/HER ONLY ONCEThe composers can be living or dead, but keep in mind, your movies will be coming out in the contemporary timeline, as in, within the next 5 years, so picking Miklos Rozsa to score your modern cyberpunk techno-scifi movie might be a bit...insane.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Horror: Hans ZimmerReason: I don't care about horror films and I don't care about Hans Zimmer eitherWith his usual MV music, he can probably make any good horror film extremely not-scary, which is exactly how I like my horror filmsDrama: Howard ShoreReason: I only ever heard LotR of his, but it seems to me it is more like dramatic music than fantasy musicModern Action: Jerry GoldsmithReason: Jerry Goldsmith is very good at writing action music for modern action films, such as Air Force OneFun Seek-the-treasure Adventure: John WilliamsReason: INDIANA JONES!Pirate Film: Alan SilvestriReason: Bring us Silvestri's PotC!!!Epic Historical Adventure: Basil PoledourisReason: Conan, Flesh & Blood, need I say more?Sci-Fi: David ArnoldReason: Is pretty good at writing Sci-Fi music, such as for Stargate and Independence DayComedy: John DebneyReason: He writes music for comedies all the time. Though I would prefer to hire him for an action film with occasional comedyMystery: Harry Gregson-WilliamsReason: Let's give him something new to doRomance: James HornerReason: I don't care about romantic films and I don't care about James Horner either. His music does sound very romantic most of the time, so he'd probably be quite able to to itFantasy: James Newton HowardReason: Although he hasn't yet scored a big fantasy movie such as Harry Potter or Narnia, I'm sure he would do a great job at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxbabe 28 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Horror: Bernard Hermann (The pioneer in this area)Drama: George Fenton (thanks for reminding me Tim - the Shadowlands, Gandhi, so many other good drama scores)Action/Adventure: Joel McNeely (Would love to see him back in live-action, think Terminal Velocity, Virus, AFO cues, SOTE of course...)Sci-Fi: Jerry Goldsmith!! (Trek anyone?)Comedy: Alan Silvestri (Love Stuart Little, Richie Rich, etc)Mystery: James Newton Howard (Tough pick, but he's strongest here)Romance: John Barry (He writes gorgeous love themes)Fantasy: John Williams (Hook and Potter, perfect examples)This is really hard!

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Well, I'd make my favorites flex their muscles in genres they haven't explored full-blown but hinted at in tehir scores. Then I'd use the others as fillers.Horror: Danny ElfmanDrama: James Newton HowardAction/Adventure: Jerry GoldsmithSci-Fi: Bernard HerrmannComedy: Hans ZimmerMystery: Eh.

Morlock 11 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Well, similarly to Ross, I'd hire my favorite composers to write scores for the genres you'd least imagine them. Notice that James Horner is not on the list, as, let's face it, I will most probably be forced to reject at least a couple of these scores for being totally wrong, and Horner will have his hands full replacing up to eight scores in as many hours (I'm very demanding that way).Horror: Hans ZimmerDrama: Jerry GoldsmithAction/Adventure: Thomas NewmanSci-Fi: Georges DelerueComedy: Bernard HerrmannMystery: John WilliamsRomance: Howard ShoreFantasy: Danny Elfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
