Yep, but given Desplat's habit of using the LSO whenever possible… Plus we're talking about a sci-fi space opera really close to star wars.. And in a number of minds, a certain style of sound is attached to this genre. Anyway, I'm pleasantly surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Frankly Williams needs the LSO to actually make his music seem like it's any good.

nightscape94 966 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I only have a passing interest in the works of Desplat, but I'm always excited at the prospects of a huge score, especially for a space opera. Will and Not Mr. Big 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 966 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Probably inescapable that a movie like this would have a pop song at the end. As far as the score is concerned, I can certainly dig on Ravel influences, especially something like Daphnis et Chloe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,179 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Looks fun enough. Still can't get past the twin casting, but if it's more like Fifth Element than Jupiter Ascending, then great. It needs heavy sarcasm and wit to succeed though (quality speaking) because we all know it will bomb at the box office even with a 100% RT score, because all the teens will think it's a ripoff of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Will 2,254 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Wow, this film looks pretty amazing visually - while still looking like sci-fi! Almost like modern Star Trek and the SW prequels on crazy drugs. I'm not familiar with the story at all but with those visuals plus the score I might well want to see it this summer. It is disappointing to see that article above (yes, I know it's old) where Desplat says it's not as Wagnerian as, and is much lighter than, Star Wars. I'm really excited for this score because I want to hear what language Desplat would have used/was using on Rogue One. I'm sure we'll still get some of it, of course, but the more different the films are, presumably, the more different the music will be. I mean, I doubt he was using a Debussy/Ravel language on RO, let's put it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
