crocodile 8,006 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 He emulated Silvestri quite successfully in Jumanji last year. Debney did it too with the previous films. It's not that hard. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Jackman's a great choice. He adores the Predator scores, so he'll be doing a bang-up job I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Jackman is a bland composer, but I watched a Composer roundtable from a few years back, where Jackman was telling Silvestri how Predator was the first film score he ever really paid attention to, and how it basically changed his life and career choices because he thought it was so interesting and great. That is slightly encouraging that Jackman will do the best he possibly can to live up to his hero essentially, and to honour the original material, considering it means so much to him personally.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 As bitterly disappointed as I am with Jackman's Kong, his Jumanji score leaves me a bit more optimistic. Why he felt Jumanji deserved a more fun score than King Kong is beyond me, but that's none of my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
