JNHFan2000 2,977 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 If it really is just about Doyle not having time, I would be fine with that. But why choose a composer that's soo different from his style then?? He could've asked someone like Rachel Portman Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could've asked someone like Rachel Portman It does seem quite odd, it's not like Doyle can't do elegant horror/suspense scoring - I mean, he's pretty damn great at it. Maybe he has some other big project he's working on (aside from the coronation) so something had to give, although I can't think what he'd be working on, film wise, that would result in him giving up a Branagh gig, but unless he and Branagh had a falling out, I can't imagine Branagh thinking this was outside of Doyle's skillset.

Thor 7,627 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Doyle's score is good, no doubt about it.

Because they worked together on every single film he directed since the 80's. Real shame. Not every single one, though almost all of them. Doyle wasn't involved with Belfast, as Tom pointed out (in lieu of a very fitting songtrack), and also didn't score 1995's A Winter's Tale - for health reasons I believe (though he does have a cameo in the film). Doyle not doing this one is a bit worrying though, given how close he and Branagh usually are, and that he's already scored the other films in the series. dyemery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if maybe PD decided it was safer to clear his schedule for the coronation commission rather than risk having a clash trying to finish a movie score. He's been doing lots of media work so, while it may not have taken him long to write a 4 minute processional, the associated obligations behind the scenes might be considerably more than we might suppose at face value. I'd be astonished if PD and KB have fallen out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
