Richard Penna 3,676 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 That looks very cool. If JNH's been as inspired as he said he was by Indy and has gone for a traditional approach, this could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I do not have details. I was only told that he had to basically rewrite most of the score from scratch (and it's not that unusual these days). But it's unconfirmed rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.

WampaRat 1,105 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hope there isn’t time for Disney to panic and bring on Balfe to score it suddenly 😬 (If they’re potentially wanting to recapture the success of the first Pirates romp, I could see them doing that...)

Richard Penna 3,676 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I like the softer tones of the first poster actually. It also feels like the more hand-drawn 'retro' feel of the second is trying to lend the movie a quality it probably doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LSH 968 Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 Film looks dreadful but it is prime material for a good boisterous, exotic - and more importantly - melodic score.

crumbs 14,305 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Yeah I'm just hoping for a pulpy, old-school style score from JNH. The film seems ripe for that type of rich adventure scoring in the vein of Waterworld or Dinosaur. Fingers crossed it allowed him a decent canvas to break loose.

Anthony 572 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 With JHN describing it has having "good themes" and "taking inspiration from Raiders" I have high hopes while trying to keep low expectations to avoid disappointment. This is exactly the sort of film I'd expect Henry Jackman to score these days, so to have JHN on board instead is very promising. I hope it's a proper old-school adventure score with electronics and horns of doom remaining absent. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The trailer looks depressing. But what to expect from another script-o-mat 3000 rip-off with zero aspirations to anything. There seems to be nothing but a succession of action scenes, so it lacks the gravitas that could afford good musical score (as in: with at least some depth). Another 'Night at the Museum' checklist of musical genre clichés, but adventure scoring is dead, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,305 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The film looks atrocious but here's hoping the score rocks! JNH referencing Raiders as his inspiration is exciting! He's one of the most talented film composers working today; there's really no reason he couldn't knock this out of the park and write something in the vein of an Indiana Jones score. It's refreshing to see a big-budget adventure film that isn't scored by the likes of Jackman, Balfe, Holkenborg or Zimmer's autopilot factory.

He's one of the most talented film composers working today; there's really no reason he couldn't knock this out of the park and write something in the vein of an Indiana Jones score. I think what you conveniently ignore is that everyone, including probably Hans Zimmer himself, cites a classic like Raiders, it's just a shorthand. It has no real meaning. A composer can't *really* write around an idiotic ADHS movie like this, because it lacks any real center. And to have just the empty gestures, the orchestral frenzies, i mean, we heard this kind of stuff so often before, and with JNH being what he is today, i'm not sure he even can muster the energy of 'Hidalgo' (which isn't that high of a benchmark). I don't think 'Jumanji' is that good of a score, but it's respectable Horner with a surprising amount of dissonance - but the one thing to take away from that was that he centered his score around the sweet, lyrical material (which in this movie relates to Robin Williams' past regrets) and anchors the silly stuff. Without that, and i presume 'Jungle Cruise' will lack it in spades, i'm afraid we will get another forgettable entry like the rather awful sequel score to 'Fantastic Beasts' (not JNH's fault, there was just nothing to do).

I think there's a middle ground that's achievable with this score. I agree that citing Raiders as an inspiration is typical crowd-pleasing PR, but I'd disagree that composers can't write around (what may be) a silly movie like this. Hidalgo is a really evocative score for a terrible movie - we just need the director to request the right type of score. 17 minutes ago, Jay said: Any JNH music in this featurette?

Richard Penna 3,676 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I've never seen the movie either but the score is really nice. Much of the non-action material has a very similar sound to Hidalgo - I think JNH has a real talent for creating soundscapes using only strings/brass/woodwinds.
