It need not be followed. Also, executive producer credits are grandfathered into contracts. I would reckon about 50-60% of exec producers have absolutely nothing to do with the projects they get credit on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Score these days is an easy fix. Just slap on some “zomg epic” library music with drums and brass and there you have it. i doubt the show premiere is in jeopardy. This ain’t a show reliant on musical excellence.

Manakin Skywalker 4,892 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 His name sounds vaguely familiar but I don't know anything about him or his music. Judging by his many TV credits I'm assuming they had to scramble to find a composer and he was just a safe choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,448 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 He won the Emmy Award for Best Original Score in 2010 for an episode of 24. Problem is, he defeated Giacchino's wonderful score for the Lost series finale that year, which made me realize how crappy the Emmys are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDementous 1,059 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So, the only work of Sean Callery's I had heard was Jessica Jones Season 1, and all I remembered was the main theme. However, I had a bit of a poke around into some of the other tracks and I have to say I think he might actually be a good fit for Halo if given good direction. He seems to have both post-rock and orchestral chops which I think fits because Halo's sound is defined by a blend of rock and more traditional compositional elements. Even his action music for 24 gives me Halo vibes, particularly with the use of the piano and strings it recalls something from the Bungie games era: On 15/02/2022 at 12:47 PM, SilverTrumpet said: Unironically my favorite TV composer.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Well, I'm a huge huge 24 fan. But you're right. That sort of mix of orchestral and electronic percussive would work well for Halo. Some of the tracks that I could see could fit Halo with a little bit of alterations in style to make it more Halo-y: ...and that's assuming they even want it to sound like Halo. Sometimes these TV projects want to give it a completely original style. But just visually it seems like they want to keep it very recognizable while also doing totally their own thing narratively.

Do people remember how much Nolan was pegged to Man of Steel. It was essentially pegged to be almost his film in disguise. Turns out he had far less to do with it than was marketed. So I just feel uncertain how involved Speilberg was with this. Is he going to do the press junket for this film? That would be interesting.

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Trailer on repeat accepted, every aspect of this screams pre streaming era TV to me. It looks cheap and tacky upscaled for the latest 4K TVs, as if veneered fidelity alone is expected to do the brunt of the heavy lifting. Only the black dude from Fargo gives me reason enough to maybe trial it, because everything else is terrible - as seen in the trailer. I don't care about the game's actual lore, that's not my issue with this spinoff at all. It just looks like broad sci-fi with the budget of a live action video game cutscene.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 A great show is great because of storytelling and performance, full stop.
