Popular Post leeallen01 2,136 Posted January 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2018 Indeed. Powell would be great too. If I genuinely had the choice, I'd choose David Arnold because it's not like JNH and Powell are on a career dip, but Arnold deserves to share in these big projects. He's an entirely underused talent.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Is the impending Avatar franchise a goldmine of music from all these composers you're listing? Admittedly we don't really know. The first score is fairly pedestrian Horner and if the sequel scores are anything like it, I'll be taking the first available boat off this ship.

It has its great moments but also a significant share of less interesting music. In my opinion, Signs is a score with an overall higher quality, although not as grand as Waterworld. Well, we have a bit of a different relationship to WATERWORLD. It's not only my favourite JNH, but in my top 10 favourite soundtracks of all time. I have an extremely personal connection to that score. But the point was to showcase a particular aspect of his music (not the grand orchestral stuff) that could fit in perfectly with the more magical parts of AVATAR, in particular.

1977 1,743 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Due to the scope of work required and the resources at HZ's disposal, on second thought I actually wouldn't mind a JNH / HZ collaboration, as long as the thematic and orchestral stuff is handled by JNH. "Music Composed by James Newton Howard Produced by Hans Zimmer" Why exactly did they part ways for The Dark Knight Rises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
