filmmusic 1,837 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I know it's a long shot, but imagine that film being Diana!! I would be thrilled!! He was my first choice for this film.And still I don't see any composer credit in imdb, although we had heard the news about Rachel Portman.

Neimoidian 14 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 I asked him about the title, too, but he didn't tell. There is no news on it on his agency's web page either, so it's highly possible it's a substitute score. This is good, because he may finally get a top-profile project which is essential to boost his career. I only wish he wasn't type-casted for sublime lyrical scores, because he can also write grand and bold music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,837 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yeah, although I adore his romantic drama scores, it would be interesting to hear a score of his for a big Hollywood blockbuster movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Exciting news in any case! Let's hope the film will be revealed as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 I have been listening to Kaas Chante Piaf for a couple of days and Abel's arrangements for the songs are generally stupendous. Some of them are very unexpected, like very dramatic rendition of La vie en rose (this one is a little overdone for my taste, though). There are also two original instrumental pieces written especially for this project - The 9th Hour and Song for a little Sparrow. As usual, both are brilliant.Here is official clip from the album.

Jay 37,370 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 This sounds to me like writing a substitute score for a film that its original score was rejected.Absolutely correct. It turns out that Abel Korzeniowski has replaced none other than JAMES HORNER for Romeo and Juliet!!http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/07/11/abel-korzeniowski-scoring-carlo-carleis-romeo-juliet/Horner already recorded his score last year, and there have been screenings of the film with Horner's score in place. Check out this FSM thread, where a member who has seen the film discusses Horner's score!http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=92203&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=1&r=696#bottomWow!Here's a trailer for the film BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 He was rejected several times in the 80s.Really? I knew he did several replacement scores in the 1980s, but I'm not that well-versed in Horner's canon. And I wouldn't count Horner's The New World score as completely rejected, as portions of it were still used and he got credited on the film.

publicist 4,643 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 He was thrown off STREETS OF FIRE; YOUNG GUNS and HEAVEN HELP US. Either way, it seems like studio madness to fire a prestige composer with a keen eye for temporary audiences and set another composer on a rush job to do a fundamentally better score. I'm sure the Horner works, even if it's cribbing country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Wow, that's crazy! Abel is sure to deliver some beautiful stuff (although I was looking forward to Horner's).

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 This would be a perfect spot for a Prokofiev comment but I'll let it go.Maybe the director, studios, producers didn't want to hear a rehash of previous works.Or maybe the film is awful and they are trying to fix it.The fact they didn't replace him with a Zimmer clone is a positive sign. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 454 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm hoping Korzeniowski's R&J score is more Copernicus' Star than his more recent output. Gorgeous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,206 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 This would be a perfect spot for a Prokofiev comment but I'll let it go. Perhaps he was rejected because he for once did NOT put Prokofiev's Tybalt stuff in his score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The funny thing is James Horner in turn replaced Patrick Cassidy on this one. Which I was really disappointed to hear because Cassidy is a great composer and I'd love to see him break into film more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I guess Abel is going to get replaced by Zimmer on Romeo and Juliet, huh?That would be great. His ostinato-driven music can bring some real emotion and intensity to this new version of Shakespeare, something that is obviously beyond Abel's and James' realm of comprehension.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,837 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 At the end of April 2013, I was asked to write an alternate musical score for the new adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, starring Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth, directed by Carlo Carlei, with a screenplay by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey), produced by Amber Entertainment, Swarovski Entertainment Ltd and Echo Lake Pictures.The score was recorded at Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage in Los Angeles on June 25-28 with a 67-piece orchestra, a choir and a soprano Tamara Bevard. The violin and piano solos were performed by Roger Wilkie and Randy Kerber (both of whom worked with me on A Single Man).I am pleased to inform you, that as of today, my score has been accepted.A minute ago, from Korzeniowski's facebook.wow.. Choir, soprano.....Can't wait to hear that score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 As I said, it's rumors.He could have easily been rejected because they (studio heads, directors, producers) didn't like his score. Or it could have been one of things that tested poorly.But we've seen in the past when a film tests poorly, the score is usually the first thing to go.
