Bespin 8,483 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 From the way I see it, Powell will have to compose the music for a 4th Dragon film, naturally drawing inspiration from the music he created for the previous films. It's like when John Williams composes the music for a 42nd Star Wars film – there's new music, and old themes that still work are reused. Moreover, didn't Menken do something similar for the live-action adaptations of Disney classics? The hits are there, but there are also some new tunes because the scenes and transitions are no longer identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPM had different characters and a newer storyline unlike the one seen in A New Hope. OTOH this HTTYD remake will be just that - a remake of the first movie, but in live-action. It will tell the same story with the same characters, perhaps a few things will be expanded in order to increase the runtime (the original HTTYD ran for 98 minutes, including the credits) but essentially it'll be the same thing. So Powell will have much less room for innovation than Williams did with any SW movie he did after ANH. The comparison with Menken's (and Zimmer's) Disney live action remake is more apt though. Even still, I think the biggest "innovations" the remake scores brought over the originals are a few new songs and how they were integrated to the main score.

Also, for the love of Odin, put David Tennant in this thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
