KK 3,307 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nope. Nothing too sophisticated either. But for Djawadi, it's a bit of an achievement. It's the most wholesome film scoring I've heard from him yet. For a taste: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,327 Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Quote Fans who were able to watch the teaser cannot help but compare it to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and co-creator Jonathan Nolan's interview with Entertainment Weekly confirmed that their opinions have basis. Nolan admits that the 1982 classic film was an inspiration to him since he watched it over and over again as a kid due to his brother's recommendation. "My brother's favorite movie is Blade Runner. I can't count the amount of times he's made me watch it," Nolan said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,323 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The score doesn't play as important of a role in the show as Blade Runner's score did to its movie. A lot of times, the music is a current pop song reimagined as old timey, and there's a lot of scenes that play with no music at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing Westworld has in common with Blade Runner is its themes (artificial intelligence, robots looking like humans...). Aesthetically, it's very different. Oh sorry, I misread that. I just remember Thor or someone drawing a comparison between the new Alien Convenant promo and Westworld's look and thought the same was being made here. Yea, visually, the show bears no resemblance to Blade Runner. It does, as you say, bring up similar themes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Do you still have faith in him, Cremers? Of course, Deakins can make it work visually, but can Villeneuve turn it into a gripping, visceral experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
