Joe Brausam 203 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Unexpected, but certainly good news. I wasn't a fan of Burwell's score, but I enjoyed Desplat's and will most likely enjoy Shore's involvement as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego 21 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Well, Desplat is busy with Potter, so maybe they had no choice but to get someone else.Damn Williams he's not only screwing Potter fans but Twilight fans too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 203 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I like that they've got someone different for each film, I believe the director changes in every film too. Keeps them fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I enjoyed the experience of watching the first film. Being exposed to such an inexplicable cultural phenomenon, surrounded by swooning teenaged girls...it was a genuine pop event. I can't recall the movie, but the experience was different and fun.

Diego 21 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Maybe the thing is that no one, other than teenage girls can sit through more than one of these movies and that's why they have to keep changing composers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 3 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm actually not that enthused with this choice. Seems like a mismatch. I would have liked Desplat for another chapter to develop his themes that he introduced in New Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 9 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm just glad it's a composer I like. The stories seems to be inspiring in at least a modest way, and I wouldn't mind hearing another composer I like take a crack at it. Better Shore than Debney.

The stories seems to be inspiring in at least a modest way, and I wouldn't mind hearing another composer I like take a crack at it. Better Shore than Debney.That's quite true. You have a good point. I shouldn't be upset at a Shore score. I'm pleased with Desplat scoring Harry Potter. I do think we're finally coming out of the dark ages of film scoring when guys like this are landing primo assignments. In fact, I'm ecstatic.I know a lot of grown ups that enjoyed the first Twilight and thought it was better than they expected. I thought so too. It's far from perfect but how many vampire films are sub-standard dreck? too many to mention. I did like Daybreakers but it's on the other end of the vampire scale. Grim, gory and gritty. But too short. I have seen parts of New Moon but not all the way through. I don't think much of Pattenson or whatever the guy who plays Edward name is. The werewolf sub-plot is more interesting but also not developed enough. I don't think Meyer is a good author and so it's hard to adapt her stuff eloquently to film.Just glad the Twilight series doesn't have an R-C score to it. Ahhhh, I just had to say it.p.s. I think Yared would have been a prime choice for this kind of film in the late '90s had it been made then. And he would have given us an amazing score too.

Matt C 423 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Summit is interested in splitting Breaking Dawn into two films. While one can argue that the final HP book was lengthy and complex enough to deserve a two-film treatment, Breaking Dawn is 1) too obvious of a money grab and 2) way too short.Don't worry, I haven't read the Twilight series. I was just going by the page count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have been more interested if I'd heard any music by him....You can check it out on his website. Since he has had very few releases so far, a lot of his music can be heard there. Particularly I recommend his epic score for Metropolis, as well as his recent and acclaimed A Single Man (which can be heard in full on the official site of the movie).

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 they havent thought about musical continuity?I miss old film series of the 80's... (and the prequels and LOTR)80% of all major productions are part of franchises. If they all had musical continuity, the film music landscape would be so hopelessly boring.
