John 2,032 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) to score ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ movie. Quote Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL) (Mad Max: Fury Road, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Black Mass, Divergent) confirmed in a new interview with Film Music Magazine that he is currently scoring the upcoming live-action/animated hybrid feature Sonic the Hedgehog. The film is directed by Jeff Fowler and stars Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Neal McDonough, Adam Pally and Jim Carrey. The movie is based on the Sega video game franchise and follows a small-town sheriff in the rural town of Green Hills who teams up with Sonic to help him escape from the government who is looking to capture him. Neal H. Moritz (Fast & Furious series, 21/22 Jump Street) is producing the project. Tim Miller and Toby Ascher serve as executive producers. Holkenborg has previously collaborated with Miller on the original Deadpool movie. Sonic the Hedgehog is set to be released on November 8, 2019 by Paramount Pictures. Okay, now this is epic.

Popular Post Miz 139 Posted February 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think this film will probably reflect the post-2000 era of endless Sonic rebooting and expanding, rather than the gameplay and aesthetic purity of the first 3 games. I suspect only 30-somethings like myself will feel that this is not a decent vision of Sonic. I also suspect this score will do very little, perhaps nothing, to reflect the fantastic, genre-pushing scores of those first 3 games - defined by brilliant melody, harmony, baselines and 'capture' of the aesthetic of each level. Nakamura pushed the technological limits of 16-bit sound and the music still sounds fantastic even if in its original recording. Junkie XL was great for Fury Road in-situ, but all of his sounds are forgettable as music. John, crumbs, Smeltington and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 2,032 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I will be royally pissed if Holkenborg's score doesn't include any renditions of the Green Hill and Emerald Hill Zone themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Those Sonic games have fantastic scores. Composers really had to be clever with how they designed their scores around the limitations of 16 bit sound. Likewise David Wise and his Donkey Kong scores (hard to believe he composed those in his late 20s!) Unfortunately, as with modern CGI, it's all become a little too easy with modern technology... Mad Max was a fine score for the movie it accompanied but this strikes me as a very strange choice given the video game scores.
