They were wildly effusive about Silvestri on their commentaries, for what it's worth.  

How could you not. It's SIlvestri. And those score are really really great!

[Edmilson 7,435]

I imagine it's a situation similar to the Star Wars Sequels: the director(s) collaborate with an older composer in a blockbuster because producers told them the score needs to be "old fashioned", but once they're free of Marvel/Lucasfilm, they go back to the younger composer they're more familiar with. Rian Johnson went back to Nathan Johnson, and so did the Russos with Jackman.

[mrbellamy 6,278]

Sure but like Johnson with Williams it doesn't necessarily mean they had anything against Silvestri. They obviously like Jackman and probably would have hired him again but they seemed happy to have the big guy around. I doubt it was an issue but I agree it was more likely a Feige thing.

I am a great fan of Geoffrey Burgon's Narnia scores.  HGW's are lifeless trash.

Yeah, but did he write Building the Crate?

 

 

Didn't think so.

[Faleel 5,346]

He most likely wrote Rocky's theme which was in Building the Crate

This is what it says on Zimmer's website. This is also how I've seen it mentioned somewhere else. And how I've credited it in my music player.

Disappointed not to see Henry Jackman back. His score for the first is one of his best

Lorne Balfe to score the new D&D movie:

This may not be such a bad outcome - Jackman’s recent work has not been anywhere near as fun as his earlier work. I would’ve picked Margeson (who seems to have inherited the early Jackman charm) but Heitor is good too.

[Edmilson 7,435]

Nope, Powell unfortunately is not scoring Strange Worlds like some fans (myself included) were hoping for.

Jackman said the following in an interview earlier this year. It's sounds great to me.

 

58:00 
> "I think people haven't quite been keeping up on IMDB, but I can't mention-there is literally something that I am right in the middle of right now (sic) that is the exact opposite of Gray Man. It's a full and luxurious use of the symphony orchestra and it's got more influence of sort of Debussy, Strauss, and Szymanowski, although I'm a poor man's version of any of those three. And a million miles away from all that six months of engineering and distorted break beats or something like that."

Seems interesting, but I haven't liked a Jackman animated score in years. Ralph Breaks the Internet had so much potential (I love the first Wreck-It Ralph score), but instead it was just very forgettable.

[Jurassic Shark 12,065]

Good news!

[JNHFan2000 2,958]

Disappointed by that. I was hoping for Harry Gregson-Williams. Just as I was hoping his brother Rupert scored all 6 seasons of The Crown.

[LSH 968]

Wow. I really was expecting (and hoping) that Harry would be an obvious shoe-in for this.

 

But it's good to see a lesser known (but proven) talent take the reigns.

 

This might be his big break. Good on him.

This looks a bit like a different take on E.T  in a way. I'm really hoping for a great score by Rivera

[thestat 348]

I expect a lot of this in Napoleon - Phipps is brilliant with synthetic vocal manipulation and mixing them into orchestral scores (see also his War and Peace):

i don't have much suggestions for this

[Mr. Who 919]

Either they go with someone who uses JW's great theme and writes a score in the style of Williams. Or they go another way, like with MOS (great score), and let a composer do their own thing. Hiring Murphy would be a mistake though because IMO all his scores are just there and don't do much. Guardians 3 is a good example of this, the score isn't as good as the first 2 but it's not terrible either.

 

Superman deserves a good score so Gunn should pick a lane, either go with JW's theme and his kind of style or something completely different but if he picks the latter, then I think Murphy would be a mistake.

 

The fact that he isn't saying who the composer is makes me think it might not be Murphy, but who knows...

 

[Brónach 1,302]

let's have a joyful, purely electronic score

Powell would be great! Also HGW would be interesting.

Well he can take JW's stuff and run with it. Not sure about HGW, his stuff is so often competent but a bit bland. In fairness, they might just do a Man of Steel and go in a completely different direction which wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm very excited about the film music this year will offer. All of my favourite composers are busy...

 

John Williams has Indy, John Powell is doing another animation, Thomas Newman has THREE scores coming out [including a Pixar!], James Newton Howard has another Hunger Games.

 

A lot to look forward to.
