Thor 4312 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Indeed. Debney is one of the few guys who are able to do Williams' themes in a classy way. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not thrilled with the treatment of Williams themes in stuff like ROGUE ONE, JP3, the JW movies or JAWS 3D, for example. And I would worry a whole lot more if this was in the hands of certain other composers. Debney, on the other hand, has a track record that shows he can do Williams' stylings in a classy way.

I don't really care who's scoring it, what I care about is that they have the audacity to take a beloved Christmas film that's not even thirty years old, and remake it so the same assholes who shoveled buckets of popcorn down their throats with Aladdin, The Lion King and the other soulless, sadistic, cheap, hollow, incredulous, disingenuous remakes will come flying back to the cinemas for this garbage. You know what else will suck, and nothing against Debney - but this film won't have the same songwriting from Leslie Bricusse or Williams' magical themes. So fuck this, fuck everything about this. I don't love Home Alone, but the idea of remaking it because it will sell tickets is disgusting consumerist crap. Oh, please. Get off your pedestal. There are already five Home Alone films; and “Christmas Classics” are remade constantly. Not to mention this is a Disney+ film, no one will be seeing this in a theater.

DrTenma 88 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 So unnecessary... But, in any case, Debney is a very good composer capable of mimicking many styles. I'm sure his score will be entertaining. Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Penna 1423 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'd lost track of how many films there had been. I've always been fond of #3 as a harmless threequel, with a perfectly good score by Glennie-Smith. You could say that if they're getting Debney on board, they're at least making an effort. I'd barely heard of David Kitay, who did #5. Link to post Share on other sites

John Hughes himself rewrote Miracle on 34th Street in between 2 and 3 lol. And as you say Home Alone has already been sequelized to hell and back. 3-5 were basically “reboots” anyway and the third one only used Williams in the title if I remember right. But complaining about this is like giving any attention to a TV movie or VHS release. Same financial imperative as back in the day, they’re just doing this to generate content like always. The only difference is adults inexplicably pay attention to these things like they’re big news and it gets publicized like a major release, I suppose because Disney+ is new and all, the Fox sale etc, but this is literally no different than when Fox farted out 4 and 5 for Disney’s ABC networks. Like that’s the other thing is this is technically Fox/Disney’s third Home Alone project anyway. publicist 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SyncMan 127 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Disney green-lights another 'Home Alone' movie but they won't green-light a 'Home Alone 2' LTP concert. There are orchestras in the USA and Canada that have presented the 'Home Alone' LTP concert every year during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season. Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2016 Nashville Symphony Orchestra since 2017 Toronto Symphony Orchestra since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

bollemanneke 1921 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I'd have liked it more if it was shorter and less obsessed with rehashing/expanding on elements of the first movie. Link to post Share on other sites

NewBlueEyes 3 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 If John Debney is writing the music for the reboot movie, he would probably adapt some themes of Williams and stops at the gags on the traps. Link to post Share on other sites
