Jim Ware 559 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 What were you doing in Lucerne, Jim?Failing to interview James Horner! Thankfully the first rule of concerts at the KKL applied in this case - all roads lead to the bar.Simon Rhodes and Tony Hinnigan were there too.

I wonder if this will even get a score CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,647 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 James Horner revealed in an interview with HeyUGuys that he will be composing the music for Pandora: The Land of Avatar at Disney’a Animal Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The theme park attraction is designed by Walt Disney Imagineering in partnership with James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment and will feature the wonders of Pandora, giving parkgoers the chance to “fly with banshees and explore a rich natural environment with mountains that float and interactive plants that glow at night.” Horner has composed the score for James Cameron’s 2009 movie and will return to score the sequel, which is scheduled to be released in 2017. Check out the full interview after the jump. Pandora: The Land of Avatar is currently in construction and is set to open in 2017. http://filmmusicrepo...ion/#more-31597 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 39,755 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 For a while it seemed like he was slowing down his output, but he's really ramped back up. Five scores in 2015 and already lined up at least 2 for 2017. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,179 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Can cross Horner off my list now. Went to the Titanic concert at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday and have just been to the BAFTA Conversations with Screen Composers event with Horner as well, where he spoke about his music for a couple of hours. Got my Deep Impact score signed as well, which was the first score I ever heard from Horner so it has a nostalgic place in my life. Funnily enough he said he didn't remember scoring it, which is encouraging...haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,256 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I went to the talk too and enjoyed it. It was nice that James Horner hung around for such a long time afterwards to sign autographs and chat to fans. He seemed happy to have his photo taken with everyone that wanted. Did you see composer Anne Dudley in the audience too?Several clips featuring Horner's music were played at various appropriate times during the interview, including Apollo 13, Titanic, Star Trek II, Aliens and Black Gold.

From his first low budget horrors to biggest budget Avatar. He spoke about his beginnings, his style, his noticable traits, including the reason why he uses big sharp hits of percussion so he can get through the loud sound effects. He spoke about Wolf Totem as well etc. How Imitation Game was temped with his Beautiful Mind hence the similar approach from Desplat to convey intelligence and mathematics musically. Very interesting stuff.I went to the talk too and enjoyed it. It was nice that James Horner hung around for such a long time afterwards to sign autographs and chat to fans.

I was wondering when Pearson said there are a few Composers in the audience. I heard David Arnold was there too, but he left straight afterwards. I went to the Giacchino event last year and Arnold was there and he stuck around so I managed to get his autograph and have a chat about how Stargate pretty much changed my life.

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It would seem so. Or maybe he's like Soderberg, who can maintain multiple composer relationships at once and picks based on the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
