Ollie 1,059 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is anyone friends with Alan Silvestri on Facebook? According to a member at FSM, his Facebook page has an announcement that he will be scoring Captain America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Good choice. I like Silvestri and snare drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 It's fine, but then you do realize that it's Marvel movie and they already ruined Iron Man 2 score with John Debney at the helm. It can be as well Silvestri in his more watered-down modern form.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If he is than it shall be a good score. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If he is than it shall be a good score. I'm excited.How can you possibly know that?Are you saying 100% of Alan Silvestri's output is "good"? That there is no chance at all this one could be a "bad" effort from him?

Andy 4,139 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Like many composers, old Silvestri does not equal new Silvestri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Exactly. SIlvestri wrote some of my favorite all time scores in the 80s and 90s. Hasn't written anything that's grabbed my attention since. People should not expect another BTTF, Predator, or Eraser; It is likely to be more like A-Team, GI Joe, and Night at the Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb74 53 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well, I certainly wouldn't mind as I thought even those 3 scores had some excellent pieces in them, I'm delighted at Silvestri's involvement with this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Who knows, with Joe Johnston directing he might turn Silvestri loose and we'll get something really good. Most Joe Johnston films have good scores to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 There is no FB link at FSM.I have no idea what FB page it is either, if it's his officlal page, personal page or one of the group pages. There are a bunch of Alan Silvestri pages and apparently it is a popular name for men in Europe.That's why I asked if anyone was friends with him.

It can be as well Silvestri in his more watered-down modern form.KarolI think Debney's effort was constricted. He was clearly told to emulate Djawadi.Silvestri would be...interesting. I would have preferred MG. I'm still waiting for him to really step it up with a huge score. I'm really hoping he does with John Carter of Mars.

Matt C 454 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If it wasn't true, Silvestri's reps at Gorfaine/Schwartz would've debunked it already.Like I said, Film Music Reporter broke the news that JNH would score The Tourist, and that Yared's score was scrapped back in late October/early November. I see no reason to doubt FMR now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
