Jay 17662 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Quote Michael Giacchino has been hired to score the upcoming animated adventure comedy Extinct. He will be co-scoring the project with his son, Mick Giacchino. The film is directed by David Silverman (The Simpsons Movie, Monsters, Inc.) and features the voices of Adam Devine, Rachel Bloom, Zazie Beetz, Ken Jeong, Jim Jefferies, Catherine O’Hara, Reggie Watts and Alex Borstein. The movie follows two donut-shaped animals called flummels as they accidentally time-travel from 1835 to modern-day Shanghai where they discover traffic, trans fats, and the fact that flummels have become extinct. Joel Cohen, John Frink & Rob LaZebnik (The Simpsons) are writing the screenplay for the Chinese/American co-production, which is produced by China Lion, HB Wink, Huayi Tencent Entertainment, and Tolerable Entertainment. No word yet on a release date for Extinct. http://filmmusicreporter.com/2019/09/04/michael-giacchino-to-score-david-silvermans-extinct/ Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Stu 10297 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Anyone else perturbed by the fact that Michael Giacchino named his son Mick? Presumably short for Mickey? You can take your Disney shilling too far! The Illustrious Jerry and Fabulin 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Edmilson 1569 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 How old is Mick? He'll probably be the youngest person ever to score a big Hollywood movie. I mean, Michael Senior will probably write the bulk of it and his son maybe will write one or two, with the help of his daddy. But still... Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Giacchino was born ca. 1998 and has the following credits to his name: Jurassic World (2015) - uncredited contribution to seemingly every cue Spiderman: Homecoming (2016) - additional orchestration The incredibles 2 (2018) - composer: additional music Spiderman; Far From Home (2019) - composer: a song plus two credits as sound mixer for short films and one as a musician in a Pixar short To be "the youngest person to score a big Hollywood movie" he would actually have to have credible solo credit for real film cues in a big project. It likely won't happen until he does one, two or three more collaborations like this with his father. He has a shot though. It's hard to find anyone below the age of 30 getting credit for scores to major films (Herrmann was 29 when Citizen Kane entered theaters). Link to post Share on other sites
The Illustrious Jerry 2824 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 On another note, Griffin Giacchino wrote cues for War for the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, M:I Ghost Protocol, and Jurassic World. Link to post Share on other sites

I actually meant the youngest people that have his name as a composer, or one of the composers, credited on a Hollywood film, not for additional music, but as one of the main composers - as in "James Newton Howard on Batman Begins", not "Andrew Kawczynski on Batman v Superman", if that makes any sense, lol. We all know that the underworld of ghostwriting and additional music is a little shady. In Mick's case, considering he'll be 21/22 when the movie premieres, I think he might fit.

It's hard to find anyone below the age of 30 getting credit for scores to major films (Herrmann was 29 when Citizen Kane entered theaters). Andre Previn was only 19 years old when his first Hollywood solo composing credit (The Sun Comes Up) happened. Somehow I doubt that's going to be topped anytime soon, though. Cliff Eidelman came close-ish during the late 80s, when he got Hollywood composing jobs in his early 20s. By the way that 19-year-old Previn wrote a pretty awesome score right out of the gate: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/store/MP3/1320/4-01_Main_Title.mp3 Yavar Fabulin 1 Link to post Share on other sites
