The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

[Ollie 1,059]

Nice! The words by Arnold are really encouraging. Personally, I don't care for Gregson-Williams' theme, but it's great to see that he respects and reprises what other composers did for the same franchise. It's the most logical thing.

Yeah, he could have never used it and no one would have cared. Outside of hardcore HGW fans the theme probably has no importance to the series. It's not iconic or anything like that.

[Faleel 5,346]

really i only cared for one cue from the first movie, and it was unreleased (the low choir after aslans death)

[John Crichton 4]

The first score did have some rather nice themes, though. Too bad it all descended into into MV crap the second half.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

HGW is awesome. That is all.

[Ollie 1,059]

HGW's music is dull. That is all.

That's better.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

I'm not a huge fan of his Narnia scores either, but don't hate on Kingdom Of Heaven!

[ChuckM 1]

As far as MV scores go, I found the first Narnia to be quite enjoyable. The second one repeats the first a bit too much, but what material is new is pretty good.

[gkgyver 1,645]

I like the first, but Prince Caspian sounds like an outtake session from film one.

[Wojo 2,453]

I have zero HGW. Would that be ZHGW or 0HGW?

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

I hate Harry Gregson-Williams, only because his John Powell collabs show up in "John Williams" searches.

[Faleel 5,346]

speaking of HGW-JP collabs Chicken Run is one of my favourite scores it sounds much more vibrant/warmer than KOTCS or any other of JW's post PT scores

[Richard Penna 3,686]

Indeed; Chicken Run is a wonderful score - not a boring moment. Can't say the same for KotCS.

The songs for Lord of the Rings at least tried to blend in with the rest of the soundtrack.

[John Crichton 4]

I hope to God that doesn't take up space on the OST.

No sign of A Place for Us.

[crocodile 8,006]

Yay!

Karol

[Richard Penna 3,686]

Holy hell that is a crap song.

The tracklist on the other hand, looks great. Over a month until we get it though... It'd better leak before then.

you didnt say that (waves hand)

No sign of A Place for Us.

A good thing, indeed !

I think I just heard the echo of 10,000 film music fans cheering in unison.

and were suddenly silenced..

[scallenger 483]

After reading that 10 questions interview, it reaffirmed my opinion that aside from Williams, David Arnold would have been an awesome replacement as composer on the final two Potter films. Oh well, this score will certainly be awesome from the sound of it.

[Incanus 5,714]

I have high hopes for this. Perhaps with this score Arnold returns to the glory days of Independence Day and Star Gate. I know it is a bit wrong to expect timeless classic status for every score and hope a composer returns to his previous triumphs soundwise but fantasy films offer such a colorful canvas to paint on and Arnold's past scores prove he can compose big and epic and colorful. The tracklist looks promising and Arnold himself said in the interview that the album will be about 72 minutes long and happily there won't be that awful song taking space from the score itself.

[Jacob 0]

Help us Davi-wan Arno-bi. You're our only hope.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[John Crichton 4]

Huh, fairly short for this kind of movie nowadays.

[Wycket 36]

Its FOX. They like all their movies less than 2 hours and rated PG-13. See Die Hard 4 for proof

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I think it's probably a good film, ever since LOTR (which needed the running time) these kind of movies have all been too freaking long. Brevity is a good thing sometimes.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

is the film based on the book or just barely?

i dont recall 80% for the scenes form te trailer.

[Jay 37,352]

Yup it looked to me like they added a bunch of stuff to the movie, kinda like they did with Prince Caspian. What remains to be scene is if they removed or changed anything.

I dunno why they feel like they have to keep wedging Tilda Swinton into each movie.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Ollie 1,059]

I just remember think how unnecessary it was for this to be filmed in 3D when I saw the preview. And most of it looked like it took place on a boat, hence the title I'm assuming.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[ChuckM 1]

I don't mind films being done in 3D. It can be a pretty cool effect. However, it really does bug me when they do parts of the film specifically for the purpose of the 3D effect—IE the scroll thrown out at the audience as you can see in the trailer.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

yeah those i dont like. they look bad when seeing the film in 'regular-D'

[Jay 37,352]

I thought it was filmed with regular cameras then converted to 3D in post?

[ChuckM 1]

Some films are done that way, but I'm pretty sure this one is true 3D.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Joe Brausam 214]

Sounds like some good music though, and to me that's the most important part right now as I don't intend to see the flm!

[Richard Penna 3,686]

Yeah the transition seems very sudden with not much reaction from the actors. Can't say the music really sounds edited... it just seems to be changing according to the quick nature of what's happening.

I wonder if that descending melody (heard when we first see the ship in the painting, and again just as the clip cuts out) is part of Arnold's Dawn Treader theme?

I too, have no intention of seeing the film, so how Arnold's music works standalone is vital.

[Jacob 0]

At last, our first taste of Dawn Treader.

Just enough in that clip to tease but not to really make anything of it.

Tantalizing. Very tantalizing.

[MrJosh 892]

Nice! I have been craving some of that Arnold sound for a while! I am pumped for this!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Sound very good.

[Muad'Dib 1,802]

The music sounds excellent! But the acting and the special effects don't seem that good...

[Jay 37,352]

I can't imagine that's the way the scene is edited in the final film. Just goes by way too fast.

Music sounded very promising

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

The music sounds excellent! But the acting and the special effects don't seem that good...

You deduced all that from 1 minute clip?

[John Crichton 4]

I like what I hear.
