Oh crap, I just realized after posting it, that Poledouris and Horner died at the exact same age: 61 years old, though Poledouris had just turned 61 a few months before he died, and Horner was a little more than a month from his 62nd. This is really sad and tragic. I wonder what the film music landscape would look like today if they were alive and working to this day (BP would be turn 81 and JH 73 in August - Poledouris' birthday was just a week after Horner's!). 1977 and Tallguy 1 1
BloodBoal 8,365 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Chances are the film music landscape would pretty much be the same. Just with two great composers still alive.
Bryant Burnette 783 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 I'll see an Arnold-starring King Conan no matter what, but their ability to get a great composer might be what tips me over into excited or not. My choice would probably be Bear McCreary.
Nick1Ø66 7,948 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Along with Excalibur, Conan the Barbarian is arguably the greatest fantasy film of the 80's, and I'd absolutely love to see the long awaited, much anticipated, King Conan. And I actually think McQuarrie is a very good choice for this movie. But Conan was in part such a great flick because of Basil's score, and he'll be sorely missed. While I'm not the biggest fan, I agree Bear just might be a good choice for this film. I'm assuming they'll just ignore Conan the Destroyer, and I hope they keep the serious existentialism of the original. I'm certainly looking forward to this more than the Highlander remake. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Would you like to see a Conan movie with a score by him? I mean, he has done fantasy... ... and medieval fantasy before: (I haven't heard any of these scores personally, but apparently they aren't half bad, might try them one of these days... I liked LB's score to Top Gun Maverick)

My choice would probably be Bear McCreary. McCreary was my first thought, and really the only currently working film composer I can think of that seems a good match. I'm sure he would love to do that. I'm less sure how much heavy metal I can enjoy in a Conan score. Bryant Burnette 1
Edmilson 12,053 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 11 hours ago, Marian Schedenig said: I'm less sure how much heavy metal I can enjoy in a Conan score. Then McCreary isn't who you want, then. He'll put as much heavy metal in his potential Conan score as he possibly can Honest question: is there a composer working today who can create a traditionally operatic score for a fantasy epic, in the same style as Poledouris' original Conan or Shore's LOTR, but resisting the temptation to go "let's make it more badass" and insert heavy metal or other modern elements to "give the movie an edge"? I mean, I'm sure there's probably more than a few, but even they won't be able to protest the producers and directors who will surely entertain this idea. In that sense, as beloved as Shore's LOTR is, I believe the most influential fantasy/epic score of the century so far is... Tyler Bates' 300. Shore's and Poledouris' works might be operatic, but Bates and Snyder were those who made fighting ancient wars rock 'n' roll and badass in mainstream cinema (and TV, games...)
CinderTech 1,760 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 @Stark accidentally put it in my head that David Arnold was scoring the King Conan movie, and was pretty bummed afterwards when he meant the Governator was coming back

Edmilson 12,053 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 On 27/02/2026 at 5:51 PM, Jay said: GI Joe reboot in the works at Paramount with Max Landis and Danny McBride both pitching scripts The Landis pitch has been rejected. Seems like his great post-allegation comeback is postponed for now. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/max-landis-gi-joe-movie-script-paramount-passes-1236688071/ Reached via Instagram, Landis told Variety he was “tremendously grateful to have been given the opportunity.” He elaborated that his pitch came together “very serendipitously based on the coolness of the weird and subversive idea.” That idea centered around the film franchise’s villain, Cobra, “having successfully taken over the world and reduced GI Joe to a conspiracy theory. But this is just how big IP development always is. Honestly, I was surprised it was reported at all.”

Maybe because I haven't grown up in the 80s and the first time I was presented to this thing was with the hilariously bad 2009 movie, but G.I. Joe to me always seemed so lame. I once saw this Transformer fan (another brand that is also dumb, but somehow less so than G.I. Joe) saying this online, it cracked me up. "i was trying to explain to my younger brother what GI Joe was on the way out (since he asked), and i haven't seen him look so disinterested in something since that time our mom forced us to watch a Netflix documentary about social media addiction"

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,092 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Bird Box got a spin-off sequel called Bird Box Barcelona. So your analogy is flawed. As flawed as VHS was compared to Betamax.

Edmilson 12,053 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Been thinking... Now that Robbie Robertson passed away (RIP), could this mean a Scorsese/Shore reunion? Even though they don't work together since Hugo in 2011 (though Wikipedia says Shore wrote music for The Wolf of Wall Street, don't know if this is true, but it doesn't seem like it is), Shore is the last living composer that Scorsese trusted before. It sure would be nice a reunion between the two. On the other hand, Scorsese is one of those guys that often don't use original scores in his movies...
