Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 14 hours ago, Jay said: The composer for Avengers 3 & 4 has not been announced yet. Though Henry Jackman, who scored Winter Soldier for the Russos, did return to score Civil War for the Russos, and since they are directing Avengers 3 & 4, he seems likely... It's kind of funny how short-lived "Brian Tyler as Marvel's house composer" was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I wonder whether he's going to use Alan Silvestri's Avengers material (and other themes) in Civil War as Tyler, Elfman and Beck did in their scores. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Well, Christophe Beck also did a variation on the theme in Ant-Man (at 1:09). And, in the same cue, he also had Jackman's Falcon theme from Winter Soldier (at about 1:31) and Ant-Man's theme (2:42) squaring off against each other in this cue. And the best non-Silvestri variation on the Cap's theme can be found in Tyler's Thor: The Dark World (at 3:05): Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I can't imagine Henry Jackman will do anything like that (since the one Silvestri moment in The Winter Soldier film was tracked in after all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah, it seems like we're going right back to where we started with the MCU. A mishmash of composers doing their own thing. Which is fine, and you still get some cool scores out of it, but some semblance of thematic cohesion would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I forgot to say, there are instances in the Ant-Man score that I really like. The funny theme is sort of what the movie wants to be but isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I would definitely like Silvestri to come back and do Infinity Wars, but considering the directors choice seems to be Jackman, it seems improbable. There are lots of Marvel films coming up, I don't see why they couldn't give him a chance with one of those though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yes the theme is quite nice and surprisingly well rounded and long lined for such a film. Chrichton must have pleaded heavily to get Jerrald to write this score. And again Goldsmith was mining if not gold then surely silver from this messy affair of a movie. It is no mean feat to crank out this and The Mummy the same year and the composer was reportedly disgusted by that movie. The score turned more than OK in my opinion and you really can't hear his disinterest in the music at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a 2002 score I believe that just got released, and it's littered with precursors to Jane Eyre and Agora. In fact the second last track features the chant that predominately supported the Agora score. On top of the usual nice Marianelli lyricism, there are some cool Adam-esque clustral writing. Good stuff indeed! publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,511 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I think it's simply a compilation of Charles Gerhardt re-recordings of Korngold's music. I've heard the King's Row suite and the March of the Merry Men from Robin Hood before, but none of the others, although they were all pretty excellent. I need to give special mention to the theme from Of Human Bondage though - that first 30 seconds is some of the most delirium-inducing film music I've yet encountered! 1 hour ago, Mr. Big said: Kung 2 Panda Pan I think this might be my favorite Peter Pan score A soundtrack which includes one of the wildest, craziest, fastest, noisiest (in the best sense possible), maddest and most reckless film cues known to man: Rickshaw Chase (and an otherwise excellent score as well!)

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Through the dice on YouTube and been going through some Bernard Herrmann suites. Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Day the Earth Stood Still, Vertigo and a couple from the Twilight Zone. Last night, a suite for the Eiger Sanction (love the piano in the theme and not least of all the funkiness of "Friends and Enemies") plus Hook (in its entirety). Bit of onion peeling ultimately.
