Ollie 1,069 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Well they could be releasing Zimmer and his clan upon us.I'd take Debney over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,782 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I wouldn't necessarily.Zimmer and clan at least have a sound. Debney's is just music. It's often good, but there's nothing in it that I can hear to tell me it's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I don't think that's true. I can find a lot of similar threads in Debney's work, at least his comedies (ie Bruce Almighty, Elf, and the Emperor's New Groove). Perhaps his style isn't as strong as may other composers, but that doesn't mean it's entirely non-existent.And even if he didn't have a style, he still writes enjoyable scores as far as I'm concerned. I can listen to Cutthroat Island and Elf and get immense levels of enjoyment from both of them, even if they aren't connected in any way whatsoever. I can understand not respecting him as an artist as much as one might, but not enjoying his work just because it's not related to his other work doesn't make sense to me.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,496 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Debney has a sound I can sort of recognize. I think of his various work for Disney like SpectroMagic parade and Hocus Pocus. He has a certain way with brass. It's even apparent in the re-recording of John Williams' work like the Varese Superman: The Movie. Just sounds like Debney to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 When he's scoring something evil or mischevious, he's got a very nice sort of Batmanesque use of brass (see Elf and Hocus Pocus). He also has a clear style for the cutesy heart warming family moments (see Elf, Bruce Almighty, and The Emperor's New Groove). And I even hear bits of Cutthroat Island in Spy Kids II. And I don't know if this would count as style, but he likes to reference "Sing, Sing, Sing" (at least, he does it in both Elf and The Emperor's New Groove).

Jay 37,550 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 MV has posted an update to the FSM boardsAll I can say is that people on this thread and other recent threads will be very happy with LLL's output in 2011. MVAh, screw it -- I'll give ya guys a New Years treat: Barry Debney Elfman Goldsmith Horner Howard Kamen Mancina Newman Morris Poledouris Portman Snow Tiomkin Williams . . . and a host of others will be out on our label this year! And that's just in JANUARY! LOL j/k HAPPY NEW YEAR! MVHere's my personal guesses:Barry - King Kong '76 Debney - Young Riders (duh) Elfman - Well LLL has a good relationship with WB (Peewee, Beetlejuice, ) and Fox (Edward Scissorhands, Planet of the Apes) and Paramount (Scrooged, Mission Impossible, Sleepy Hollow). Lots of options! I think Scrooged is most likely Goldsmith - First Knight Horner - Wolfen Howard - Waterworld maybe, if the OST wasn't already complete? Kamen - Die Hard, hopefully followed by DH2 and especially 3!!!!!! Mancina - Assassins Newman - er, which Newman? Morris - Clue (duh) Poledouris - hopefully Starship Troopers if Varese doesn't hold perpetual rights... if they do, then Hunt For Red October Portman - Jim Henson's Storytellers (duh) Snow - X-Files box set (duh) Tiomkin - no idea Williams - HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Pee-Wee's Big Adventure would be a nice extraction from the box set. That's the only Elfman I really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,069 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah I posted the first part of his comments in the Elfman box thread.My guess for Tiomkin is The High And The Mighty.... please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It'd be awesome if the Newman was Galaxy Quest.Here's hoping the Barry is either The Black Hole or Howard The Duck. And that Kamen is Highlander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,550 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 black hole is disney and howard the duck is lucasfilm, so i dont think either is very likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,069 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Here's my personal guesses: Barry - King Kong '76 or Body Heat Debney - Young Riders Elfman - Planet Of The Apes and Edward Scissorhands Goldsmith - Gremlins Horner - Wolfen or Cocoon Howard - Waterworld's a good guess Kamen - One of the Die Hard or Lethal Weapon films, perhaps Robin Hood. Mancina - Speed or Twister Newman - As Jason said, which Newman Morris - Clue Poledouris - Jungle Book or Hunt For Red October Portman - Jim Henson's Storytellers Snow - X-Files box set Tiomkin - The High And The Mighty Williams - The Towering Inferno, Witches Of Eastwick, Maybe Home Alone 2 or Hook.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 black hole is disney and howard the duck is lucasfilm, so i dont think either is very likelyBoth are albatrosses around the respective studios' neck, though. I think LFL would be happy to make any money off HTD, whilst Disney have licenced their live-action work in the past, and since The Black Hole is kind of seen as a failure with very little interest I'm not sure they'd care, although maybe if it came it would come from Intrada ala Honey I Shrunk The Kids and The Journey Of Natty Gann.

Jay 37,550 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Robin Hood by Kamen would be terrific!Speed is almost unnecessary, there is only 4 minutes of unreleased cuesTwister MV has said he REALLY wants to do but there are all kinds of legal hassles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Twister would be great. I bought it from Amazon, but it's not real so I feel icky. Still a great listen, especially when the rain starts and the sky gets dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 MV did state one time that he would love to release Twister's full score but rights issues were holding it up. No doubt the rights issues were from the Van Halen material. Hopefully they have got that sorted out. I too would love a complete release for Twister.

shockwave 8 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Poledouris: I'm guessing Red October hopefully w/film version tracks and/or maybe Les Misérables. Or (again) an unreleased score Flight of the IntruderHorner: Willow-guilty pleasure (But I can't guess)Williams: Hook would be sweet!Kamen: Die Hard, or maybe LLL hit us w/a right cross-Event Horizon Goldsmith: First Knight (saw the movie on my local cable station)Howard: Hmmm let's see: The Trigger Effect, Flatlingers, Stir of Echoes?David Newman: A lot of unreleased and/or expanded: Hoffa, Firebirds, Coneheads, Other People's Money, The Flintstones.

Richard Penna 3,782 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Excluding what we know is coming, a few 'ideal world' guesses: Elfman - Something from the big box, but I hear Scrooged mentioned a lot. Goldsmith - I'd love Air Force One, if Varese does the decent thing Howard - Falling Down Mancina - If they've sorted out the legal crap - Twister Newman - Thomas: Phenomenon, David: Flintstones or Galaxy Quest, Randy: god knows Poledouris - Starship Troopers (again, pending Varese) Williams - I'm pretty sure this one's going to be Hook.I really, really hope that Varese doesn't have perpetual rights to its 90s scores. I can't see them on top of Townson's club priority list.MV did state one time that he would love to release Twister's full score but rights issues were holding it up. No doubt the rights issues were from the Van Halen material. Hopefully they have got that sorted out. I too would love a complete release for Twister.I never understand these rights issues when it just involves paying royalties to a contributing artist. Maybe Van Halen want more than LLL are prepared to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 216 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 There is more than one Williams release coming, according to MV. My bets are on both Hook and The Towering Inferno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,550 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You both mis-read MV. He meant that there was more than one composer with the last names listed, not that there was more than one release by the composers mentioned coming.For those who have no clue what I'm referring to, an FSM poster said:Just a question - which Newman? There are five of them.and MV replied:And there are more than one Williams', Poledoris' and Goldsmiths too! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. . .

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,496 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I know Hook is coming because La-La Land about outright admitted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackR 95 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I want a complete Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves almost as much as Hook. There were a few scores that would rekindle my love for film music as a child and Robin Hood was one of them. I was eleven when the film came out and the music just grabbed me. I hope it gets a complete release.Also, didn't the makers of the Elfman bocset get some material from LaLaLand for the Batman discs? I could see them releasing some other material from the box in exchange (POTA maybe). I wouldn't complain about Scrooged though!This is going to be a great year!
