Jay 37,042 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Quote Howard Shore Scoring Michel Hazanavicius’s ‘The Lost Prince’ (‘Le prince oublié’) Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silence of the Lambs, The Aviator, Hugo) has recently scored the upcoming French family fantasy adventure The Lost Prince (Le prince oublié). The film is directed by Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist, OSS 117) and stars Omar Sy, François Damiens and Bérénice Bejo. The movie follows a devoted single father who takes his daughter into “Storyland”, a fantasy film studio where their extraordinary fairytale adventures come to life. Hazanavicius also co-wrote the screenplay with Bruno Merle and Noé Debré (Dheepan, Racer and the Jailbird). Philippe Rousselet (Source Code, Lord of War, What Happened to Monday) and Jonathan Blumental are producing the project. The Lost Prince will be released in French theaters on January 29, 2020. https://filmmusicreporter.com/2019/12/16/howard-shore-scoring-michel-hazanaviciuss-the-lost-prince-le-prince-oublie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothless 961 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 What the hell !? I saw the trailer before TROS at my local cinema and even though it looks surprisingly full of VFX for a French film, I thought the soundtrack would be handled by a nobody. Maybe they are looking to actually distribute this film internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,265 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 A kid movie about/set on France? So, maybe can we expect a new score like Hugo? I would not oppose that, really like the Hugo main theme: Aside from that, has Shore ever done a kid's movies? (and no Hobbit jokes, please).

gkgyver 1,645 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 That's a nice little score. Good for him, not succumbing to the Hollywood musical fast food machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,042 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just got done listening to this. It was nice, very pleasant. Not particularly compelling or engaging. One part reminded me of the Erebor theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,265 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I keep misreading the name of the thread as The Little Prince instead of The Lost Prince.

Jurassic Shark 11,956 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I reckon Shore's still burned out after the hardships of The Hobbit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,265 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 But that was 5 years ago, and on the last two Hobbits he didn't even had to leave Canada to record the music, Pope conducted everything on New Zealand because Jackson complained.

Jay 37,042 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Why did this score get so little discussion? Did JWFan not like it, or did JWFan not even check it out? https://open.spotify.com/album/1Pnav7nv3Mqn6UuRPIIrXP?si=hM6VmtcwRLqjshtq9gCXcw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 On Spotify, eh? Good to know! Listening to the first track now. Sounds charming enough. There's some French accordeon in there. But could there also be a bit of a Spanish influence...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
