Powell said so in the most recent interview, when asked about who his favourite collaborator is, and talked particularly about HGW, he said that hiring two composers for a movie is unattainable, especiall in this age (or something along that lines, I forgot). But who knows? But the one with PIXAR, it's highly posiible and long overdue! lostoman17 and Tom Guernsey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Zimmer regulars are listed as performers, like Zimmer himself, Lisa Gerrard, Lebo M, Heitor Pereira, Gavin Greenaway, Rupert Gregson Williams, Bruce Fowler, etc. One credit that caught my eye was John Powell, credited as playing "third percussion from the left" Does anyone know anything about this? Did he used to play percussion before becoming a composer? Zimmer brought his whole gang to Ghent for that concert (the first one with his music performed live) at the time. (By the way, a brief fragment from that concert can be seen in this short documentary at 1:31.) If I remember correctly, Powell also played some percussion when he was guest of honour at the 2006 World Soundtrack Awards (see the same video at 9:23 for a very brief two-second excerpt from that concert). Very recently at the Krakow Film Music Festival he performed alongside the orchestra on a few of the pieces, including with a Spanish percussion instrument on Ferdinand and the viola on The Bourne Identity.

Jay 30938 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I guess we could look at who directed each film and see if they'd want to reunite with Powell again 2015 - Pan - Joe Wright who used Dario Marianelli (Darkest Hour), Danny Elfman (The Woman In The Window), and Aaron & Bryce Dessner (Cyrano) next 2016 - Jason Bourne - Paul Greengrass who used Sune Martin (22 July) and James Newton Howard (News of the World) next 2017 - Ferdinand - Carlos Saldanha, whose next film (2023's Harold and the Purple Crayon) has no composer attached yet 2018 - Solo - Ron Howard, who used Hans Zimmer (Hillbilly Elegy) and Benjamin Wallfisch (Thirteen Lives) next 2019 - HTTYD3 - Dean DeBlois, who was attached to two films (Micronauts and Treasure Island) that seem to have fizzled out 2020 - Call of the Wild - Chris Sanders, who doesn't seem to have anything coming soon 2021 - Locked Down - Doug Liman, who has a remake of Road House coming... seems like someone else will score that one 2022 - Don't Worry Darling - attached to three different films with no dates Sounds like Harold and the Purple Crayon is most likely to me!

Edmilson 4477 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The movie is a documentary about Michael J. Fox: Quote The movie is directed by Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) and tells the story of a short kid from a Canadian army base who became the darling of 1980s Hollywood, only to find the course of his life altered by a stunning diagnosis. Guggenheim is also producing the project with Jonathan King, Annetta Mario and Will Cohen. Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie will premiere next month at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

Popular Post PrayodiBA 352 Posted January 31 Popular Post Share Posted January 31 Anyway,… As you may have known already, John Powell will score 2 movies this year. According to the official 5cat studio website: https://5catstudios.com/listen (^^ his score in Michael J Fox documentary was lauded by critic during its premiere in Sundance) For the past weeks, I was curious what the other score will be… Powell himself has officially confirmed that he will score a new animated movie, but I don’t know whether that’s for 2023 or 2024 as also listed there https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkGCDZJF7g/?igshid=NDk5N2NlZjQ= If it is for “late 2023” release, then there are some probabilities, one being for the new Disney musical “Wish” (Nov 2023) or perhaps for new Illumination Studio animated movie “Migration” (Dec 2023) But then, I also recall Powell’s frequent collaborator has a new movie release this June, Carlos Saldanha, with his movie “Harold And The Purple Crayon”. And in my (very) spare time, like you have nothing else to do, I checked its imdb page, in particular its music department segment. I found out Bill Bernsetin, the music editor listed there, has worked on some of the most recent Powell&co’s scores (the upcoming Michael J Foc doc, and also Batu Sener’s Ice Age score), see here: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0077007/?ref_=m_ttfcd_cr2 ^^ When I found that out, I was sure this must be Powell’s new score! But then,… the release. It doesnt check out. Harold is slated for June 30. Referring back to 5 Cat Studio list…. Batu Sener in fact has a new score in “mid 2023” I checked his IG story highlight, as you can see here: ^^ the length of the spoiler cover for the above 2023 title quite fit… (…so much for my spare time 🤣) …so I call it now: Batu Sener is scoring Harold And The Purple Crayon (^^ what do you think of this? i for one look forward if that’s true. His score for Ice Age Buck Adventure is pretty good and very Powell-y. But it must be sad for Carlos Saldanha to get “rejected “ collaboration from the main guy 😄) … This still doesn’t answer what that other Powell score will be though. I sure hope is Disney’ Wish , but sadly, that is quite a stretch What do you think?
