Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think the forest scenes are being extended if anything, to highlight the "refugee status" of the trio. If it's done right, it should be an interesting and dramatic turn for the Potter films. If it's done wrong it'll likely be two and a half hours of boredom.

Jeff 10 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think there are enough events in Part I to make it interesting, even with all the forest refugee boredom. There's the Seven Potters chase, the Bill/Fleur wedding ambush, the London Death Eater chase, the spooky Godric's Hollow encounter, the trap at the Lovegoods' house, the infiltration of the Ministry, and the escape from Malfoy Manor, just to hit on the major plot points. Just listing them made me realize just how exciting the first half will be. Plus there will be a lot of necessary exposition about what the horcruxes and hallows are, Dumbledore's history, the fight with Ron, getting the sword, etc.Part II will have the Gringott's scene and the epic Battle of Hogwarts - kind of a ROTJ format (Jabba's Palace, Battle of Endor). I've already heard some people comparing the way Part I will end to the feeling at the end of ESB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyO 62 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 There was a preview screening in Chicago this weekend with David Yates and David Heyman in attendance. One report says that someone asked the question about the composer for Part II and that Heyman said the crew hadn't decided on a final composer yet. Could they be trying really hard to get Williams back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 They'll probably try to get JW if they honestly haven't decided yet. But I guarantee you he won't do it and Desplat will most likely finish up the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 689 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Surely they should keep Desplat? It's not like its 2 different film they're talking about. It's 2 parts of the same film. I realise Harry Potter is not known for its musical continuity but surely going with someone else (even Williams) would be taking it too far? Unless of course Desplat's score for part 1 has turned out to be an utter train wreck. In that case, bring the black turtle neck back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 according to the people who talk to Yates at the Deathly Hallows screening they haven't chosen a composer for the Deathly Hallows part 2. Which for Williams fans may be good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,636 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If the producers of "D.H. pt. 2" seriously wanted John Williams, they would have engaged his services long before now. I am looking forward to Desplat's score(s?), and, as much as I would like to J.W. to score pt.2, I believe that this will destroy musical continuity. Of course, Mike Newell has already done that...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Zimmer's music is probably the most used in temp tracks. It's the whole reason how he got to score Sherlock Holmes. Guy Ritchie said, "Why is The Dark Knight playing over my movie?" and called Zimmer up to talk about composing original music.I'm also not surprised it's on Potter, ever since JW left each and every trailer has ended with a power anthem version of Hedwig's Theme.

Henry B 50 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's just a temp track. Revenge of the Sith was probably temp tracked with Zimmer, if "Padme's Ruminations" is any indication. However, we still got a Williams score for that film, and for this one I'm sure we'll get a Desplat score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 456 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 By the way, does anyone know who composed Hedwig's theme version that you can hear in The Order Of The Phoenix DVD menu ?I think The Music Box, a company that specializes in scoring movie trailers, scored the OOTP trailer. The music from that is on the DVD menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his score will sound Zimmerish.But can you imagine, Desplat on "Zimmer mode" ? That would be... interesting...That's what I thought about TDK, with Newton Howard doing "Zimmer mode". And look how that turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
