Jay 37,287 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,391 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...

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.

Yavar Moradi 2,588 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 On 9/24/2019 at 3:16 PM, Albus Percival Wulfric said: 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). 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saulocf 79 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I’ve watched. It is fine music, nothing fantastic but some good bits. Doesn’t his best animation output (Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up) but also it is much better than Zootopia. On par with Coco Id say. The highlight is a montage cue in the middle of the album. The themes are pleasant enough, but not too memorable. The first cue was pretty as well but it was cut short due to a gag (that happens a lot in the movie, unfortunately). There is a musical number which is nothing special in the middle of the movie as well. And the credits lists “Themes by Mick and Michael Giacchino” and “Music by Mick Giacchino”. But like American Pickle last year, it sounds 100% like a Giacchino score. Looks like he is creating his clone army for world domination haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the score was recorded in February 2020 and the album didn't release until April 2022, you think somewhere in there somebody could have found a way to combine shorter cues into longer tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
