bruce marshall 1,315 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 If I read the clues correctly: Two previously released albums for ONE film by TWO composers.

Edmilson 7,448 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 From what I remember of the bootleg (which I don't have access to now) I don't think JNH's complete King Kong score plus alternates would fit in just 2 discs.

blondheim 1,157 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Howard Shore's King Kong sits right on top of my premier release wishlist. Right above every unreleased Basil Poledouris score. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,688 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Kong seems a bit unlikely to me only because the complete score is so long that to fit on two CDs you'd have to lose lots of alternates. Also, it came out in December 2005, so after the AFM cutoff. Reissue of Horner's Troy with Yared's rejected score? Again, seems unlikely due to the miracle it would take for Yared's score to come out. 10 minutes ago, Edmilson said: From what I remember of the bootleg (which I don't have access to now) I don't think JNH's complete King Kong score plus alternates would fit in just 2 discs. But I may be wrong. Yeah, the whole shebang is a little over 3 1/2 hours It would take a Sleepy Hollow style release to do that one properly. I'm mostly happy with the OST though - I only added two cues from the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE! 🤞🤞🤞 No rejected score to my knowledge, and therefore also no way it would get to 3 CDs. But would love Intrada to expand that sometime! How about an expansion of a DIFFERENT (Disney-controlled) Hollywood Records album? I'm thinking LES MISERABLES, my favorite Basil Poledouris score, spread over 2CDs (maybe the original four-suite album included on disc 2)? And then the 1CD would be for the rejected Gabriel Yared score for the same film! Yavar bruce marshall, blondheim, JTN and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think it can also mean Intrada is putting out two NEW separate albums of music for the same film, soon. Roger didn't say anything about whether either composer's work was previously released. But I still think Journey of Natty Gann is a good guess! It could also be another rejected Bernstein score though, which hasn't yet been released: How about Rat Race, paired with an expansion of the John Powell score? Or how about A River Runs Through It, paired with an expansion of the Mark Isham score? All that's "out there" of the Bernstein score on this is his main theme, performed live at USC years back (I was there in person), conducted by his son Peter: I'd certainly be in for either... and I think there are more totally unreleased rejected Bernstein scores besides those two!

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 5 minutes ago, Jay said: Bernstein scored the 1960 Rat Race, Powell scored the 2001 Rat Race Bernstein scored BOTH unrelated (aside from the title; these were not remakes) films, just like Jerry Goldsmith scored the 1975 BABE *and* the 1995 BABE (well, 85% of the latter anyway). If you don't believe me for some reason, here's agent Richard Kraft on the subject: Quote When Jerry Goldsmith was unable to score Jerry Zucker’s RAT RACE I gave Elmer an enthusiastic, unofficial recommendation. One day at baggage claim in LAX I bumped into Elmer’s daughter, Emilie, who was working as her father’s orchestrator. She had just flown back from London where the plug had been pulled on Elmer’s RAT RACE score. I offered a feeble joke about how he had already scored THE RAT RACE 40 years ago. We smiled, but deep down I felt awful that there are no “Get Out of Jail Free” cards for film composers, no matter how much they’ve accomplished. Every score is another testing ground and rejection is always a lurking possibility. https://perspectiveforum.net/2016/05/22/my-savior-elmer-bernstein/ Yavar JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows about the two Legends by Goldsmith and Tangerine Dream, but there's also the Goldsmith/John Scott scores for SPYS (obviously unlikely since LLL recently premiered the complete Goldsmith just last year, and it's still in print), plus Conti/Serra on The Big Blue or Conti/Scott on A Prayer for the Dying... go to the Golden Age and there are LOTS of examples of Italian films scored by Italian composers in Italy, but given scores by other composers outside of Italy.

If you read Torn Music, in some cases it's been one of several variations - a rescore due to a film becoming higher profile (JNH's Charlie Wilson's War), two composers writing material and the final film being a hodge-podge of both (too many examples for me to remember), and even at least one case where a score was rejected, then the replacement was rejected and the first one put back in!

Jaaaackified 81 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I guess most expanded score + rejected score combination would fit into a 2-CD album comfortably. A 3-disc one would mean that either there is actually quite a lot of music (but not too much music like JNH's King Kong, which IIRC goes to more than 3 hours in total), or there is some additional material compiled (demos, sketches, suites, concert arrangements or even live concert recordings?) and if this release is going to feature a rejected score, that specific rejected version has to be recorded, right?
