mstrox 6,651 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Since JEJ already deigned to voice Vader a number of times on Star Wars Rebels, I'm sure the meatier paycheck of a major motion picture would appeal to him. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's a sure thing? He already reprised the voice in that Rebels cartoon. Geez, he sounds tired and disinterested though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,794 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm sad our Spanish Darth Vader dubber dies of cancer a few years ago :(. The voice they use in rebels is assisine. 21 hours ago, Sharky said: The vistas in the Lake Como bits are. I'm not sure... I think that is alpine forest. Lake como is rather in the middle of the alps. Listening to ROTJ today... whoever is scoring this film has to make awesome renditions of the imperial march throughout....If not it will be a failure...

leeallen01 2,135 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So assuming he starts writing in May; he'll have about 6 to 7 months to write and record it. That's about 4 years in Desplat's composing terms, so plenty of time. I'm sure he already has sketches and ideas of things as well. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamHorne97 16 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I wonder if the score will be classic orchestral or go for a more modern feel. I'm putting my chips on modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hopefully neither, and instead in the largely unexplored in Hollywood middle-ground of modern symphonic music. So many film score fans, and directors and composers too apparently, seem to think that symphonic music stopped being written after, say, Britten died, and that anything more modern in sensibility has to be hybrid or purely electronic. Let's add Desplat to the list of folks who demonstrate how the language of "modern classical" music can serve cinema, along with Davis, Shore, and Goldenthal.

Alex 2,835 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I wonder if he'll try and emulate the classic JW Star Wars "sound" or whether he'll take it in any direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,041 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If DH is any indicator, we should expect a score that references Williams' work in certain key moments, while otherwise maintaining something of a low-key blend between classic orchestral scoring and more modern Zimmer-influenced approaches. What I'm more curious about is stuff like credits and main titles and wipes and dissolves...all the traditions that the "episodes" have upheld. Will these be retained? Used more modestly? Omitted altogether in favor of a totally new stylistic approach? Hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,513 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Desplat wil do what he feels right, of course. Bugger that! Of course he won't. "Star Wars" belongs to The Mouse, now, and any genuine creativity will go out the bloody window faster than you can say "bantha poo-doo". I'm surprised that a Premiership composer has been selected for "R1". I would have thought that someone of Brian Tyler's "talents" (snorts) would be more appropriate. Speaking of which...did anyone hear the Brian Tyler interview on BBC Radio 3, at the weekend. It was 60 minutes of proof (if any were needed) why Mr. Tyler is an "also ran". Pathetic.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Naïve Old Fart 9,513 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The Mouse is accountable for everything that goes on in Marvel, and Star Wars, and in twenty-whatever, the Indiana Jones universes. If The Mouse does not like something it will change it, and Ms. Kennedy won't be able to do a damn thing about it. Your faith in Ms. Kennedy is your weakness.

DarthDementous 1,059 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 this might actually be refreshing in Star Wars provided he's not killed off within the first act. a literal father figure to serve as a guiding hand in addition to the mentor, its quite a shake-up compared to other Star Wars main characters and could create some interesting moments and conflicts.
