Edmilson 7,470 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Band of Brothers had a great score by the late Michael Kamen. I also liked Zimmer's (and team) score for The Pacific? Who are they going to call this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fabulin 3,514 Posted October 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2019 It would be nice to have Williams contribute an overture, and then Giacchino do the rest. There are no reasons against it, Williams would likely enjoy the fact that it's a short, sync-free contribution to Spielberg's project, and Giacchino could be told by Spielberg to dig in his MoH music, and promised an episode to direct as a motivation.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 This series seemed like it was headed for development hell so I’m glad to hear it’s finally progressing, thanks Apple 😬 Band of Brothers is the greatest mini series ever imo. The Pacific is great in its own right but it certainly isn’t BoB.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Band of Brothers was one of the best shows I've seen, with a great score by Kamen. The Pacific was a 'good' show, with a functional but completely unremarkable score. Whoever does the music, I hope they take inspiration from Kamen's assignment. Just not Zimmer.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I couldn’t find a thread but I believe this is shooting next month. I saw a call for extras between 17-30 and it’s believed to be for this. 10 episodes in the vein of Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Based on Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought The Air War Against Nazi Germany by Donald L. Miller Focusing on the 8th Air Force, possibly the 100th Bombardment Group. Rumoured budget of $200m-250m. Cary Joji Fukunaga is directing three episodes. Edit: I knew there had to be a thread but I searched for Masters of the Air and nothing came up so... not my fault!

Nick1Ø66 4,720 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Really looking forward to this. Band of Brothers was some of the best television ever produced, and certainly the greatest mini series ever. It's unlikely they'll be able to capture that magic again (they certainly didn't with The Pacific), but that doesn't mean this can't be fantastic in its own right.

It's unlikely they'll be able to capture that magic again (they certainly didn't with The Pacific), but that doesn't mean this can't be fantastic in its own right. I really like The Pacific but it has two things going against it. 1) The war in the Pacific was hell on Earth. It’s closer to what we imagine Vietnam was like as opposed to the way the ETO is portrayed. Sure the ETO was difficult too but there’s always something more heroic about it. Think of the differences between Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. I think it makes it a harder watch. 2) Band of Brother focuses on Easy Company. People you meet in episode one are the focus in every episode. It shifts focus to different characters throughout but it’s always from people within the same group. The Pacific shifts between the POV of three barely related men and their unite. It makes it feel more disjointed as a result. Masters of the Air shouldn’t have this issue if it focuses on a single bomber group or even a single plane and her crew. Plus we should see some P-51s in air support 😎 16 minutes ago, Edmilson said: I wonder who will score this. The scores from Band of Brothers and The Pacific were great. The Pacific is very underrated on here. Zimmer’s main theme is amazing. I wish he would do more stuff like that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did something similar this time around with someone else doing the show.

Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Finally getting around to watching The Pacific (having bought the Blu-Ray in the HMV closing down sale and watched the first episode months ago) and quite enjoying it so far, but definitely don't feel as attached to the characters as with Band of Brothers. The music is fine, but Kamen's is miles better. My other half noted that none of the main actors in The Pacific is now famous - you'd expect by the law of averages that one of them might have done especially when the most famous person in it is kid who played Tim from Jurassic Park (good though his is). They are certainly pretty good in their roles. Yet compared to BoB, which had Scott Grimes, Damian Lewis, Dexter Fletcher, Michael Fassbender etc... Still, look forward to the new series. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to Bleeding Fingers Music; their music for BBC wildlife documentaries has been pretty decent, although like The Pacific with Band of Brothers, I'd take Michael Kamen over Hans and Co, in the same way I'd take George Fenton for wildlife documentaries over Bleeding Fingers Music (and seriously, who thought that was a good name...?!).

Nick1Ø66 4,720 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Yes! Been waiting for this one for a while, and recently finished the book.

Stark 316 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I think I slightly preferred Neely’s portions of the Pacific score to Zanelli’s (possibly just because Neely used Zimmer’s theme though), so I’m ok with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWMike 117 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Neely makes sense given that he is the through-line from Band of Brothers (orchestrator to Kamen) and The Pacific (composer). Be interesting to see if there is a co-composer, another big-name composer or a main title composer joinging him for this one. dyemery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSH 969 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 From what I can see, there's no release date in stone yet so there's still time for more scoring news. I quite like Zimmer's theme for The Pacific; it's no Band Of Brothers, for sure, but it's stirring and it's fitting enough. I wouldn't mind him returning to theme tune this.
