Edmilson 8,912 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Ramin Djawadi is the composer for Ruben Fleischer's Uncharted adaptation: http://filmmusicreporter.com/2021/12/25/ramin-djawadi-scoring-ruben-fleischers-uncharted/ I just hope he'll use Greg Edmonson's classic theme from the games.

crocodile 8,516 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 To be honest, he's perfectly suited for this. And I also do hope the video game themes make an appearance. As for the film, I am definitely not excited. Why can't we just get another game? Karol crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie looks ass anyway, hopefully we’ll at least get a good score out of it. I’m surprised Sony isn’t more protective of what is arguably their biggest franchise.

Arpy 4,159 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I thought Jackman's scores were decent with a few highlights, but definitely has the overall RCP sound of processed brass, string ostinati and drum loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol An Uncharted remake was in development with Sony Bend until the leads of that studio quit, and I believe it is now sitting with one of Naughty Dog’s teams along with a Last Of Us remake. 4 hours ago, crumbs said: And his work was mediocre, to put it mildly.

Amy Hennig was fired off of Uncharted 4, and the project was restarted when Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley were asked to take over directing duties. They chose Henry Jackman.

Richard P 4,187 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yep, that's Djawadi. I'd prefer to hear his non-action material, but the music in that clip isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 8,912 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Meh, I'm unimpressed by the music. Typical RC generic action scoring that Lorne Balfe or Henry Jackman could've written in a lazy morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that they consider the story finished and don't forcefully extend it to a point where it's only uninspired rehashes of the previous games. Although they kinda set up Sam as an option to continue without Nate, so why not. And yes, I did enjoy the Chloe spinoff (and even ended up liking the character). As for the score, I expect about as much from Djawadi as from Jackman. I.e. almost nothing. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 9,036 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Watched the clip. Looks less "real" than how I remember it in-game. The actors also seem to be out-performed by their digital counterparts. The music is… barely there. I forgot to notice it until halfway into the clip, and once I did, I was surprised that it mostly doesn't even try to score the action, leaving lots of "ughs" and "ahs" without musical support - which again makes them sound more random and goofy than the partially dynamic (i.e. harder to control and balance) voice effects in the game.

Richard P 4,187 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The action in Eternals wasn't very good either so I'm waiting to hear other parts of the score before passing judgement overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 8,344 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I overslept and missed this press screening a few days ago. Zero connection to the game, but I have a feeling it is at least better than JUNGLE CRUISE. I suppose it's streaming for me, down the road. Still waiting for Djawadi to wow me. I'll check out the soundtrack when I'm done with a few other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard P 4,187 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Played the first third of the album this afternoon - it's ok. Nowhere near as interesting as Eternals was but it had a handful of moments where perked up and really noticed it. It's got its share of guitar-driven action which may not match a lot of tastes but I like it. If the rest of the album has some interesting material then it might be a purchase - we'll see when I get round to finishing it. Also the album's only 50 mins - he's good at making a completely independent listening experience - a good thing in this case as there isn't a hope in hell that I'll ever watch the film.

Marian Schedenig 9,036 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I listened to what's supposedly the main theme on YouTube yesterday. Except I couldn't even remember a theme after it had ended. There was a melodic fragment repeated endlessly with about two and a half chords and barely any orchestrations (other than stuff to make it sound EPIC!!11) and later some drums. The film doesn't look promising at all, but it sounds like the score is still going to manage to drag it down. Luckily I have the Edmonson game soundtracks.

thestat 411 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Yeah, a very good example of the ghost-writer-type score malarkey infecting Hollywood. It's clear that Djawadi did the opening track which is decent. The rest is absolute nonsense...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
