Hristo 15 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Well, as a great fan of John Williams, and artist myself I decided to make it more professional. This will be just a dream come true! But after all I don't want to seem selfish, I wish him to recover and be with his family more, he already gave us HUGE legacy. Still hope to make Steven Spielberg's new UFO movie. BB-8 and Paul M.

If I had to choose between him scoring Rebirth or Spielberg’s next film, I would choose the latter. I would love to hear brand new orchestral themes and that film would just give us more of what we want (not that we wouldn’t love Rebirth as well).

Edmilson 10,103 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Yep. Even if Brian Tyler is the one they chose, why haven't they announced it so far? With all due respect to Tyler, but in terms of fame with general audiences he isn't a John Williams, Hans Zimmer or even Michael Giacchino. So there's no need to hype his name with the general public. I think something might have occurred... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul M. Grenon 42 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It is now 96 days until the film is released. The fact they still haven’t announced the composer is crazy. Michael Giacchino was announced as World’s composer May 12th 2014, exactly a year and a month before the film’s June 12th 2015 release date. I think that the lack of information has to mean something. This is probably stupid optimism, but I think at this points it is reasonably possible for John Williams to be announced as the composer.

Edmilson 10,103 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 49 minutes ago, Luke Skywalker said: Yeah… when was desplat announced? I think it was nearer the film anouncement… March 16, 2015. 21 months before the release. But then he dropped the movie... Because of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (!). Quote In March 2015, it was reported that Alexandre Desplat who had worked with Edwards on Godzilla (2014), would compose the score for Rogue One,[122] and had confirmed it in an April 2016 interview.[123] As the film's reshooting affected the post-production process, Desplat opted out from the project due to his commitments for scoring Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017), and was replaced by Michael Giacchino in September 2016.[124] Giacchino only had four and a half weeks to compose the music for the film, beginning almost immediately after finishing scoring Doctor Strange.[121] In addition to composing original themes, Giacchino incorporated some of John Williams' themes from previous films into the score.[121] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_One#Music Desplat must've been pretty eager to score Valerian (it's based in a graphic novel from his home country) because box office wise it wasn't the best decision badbu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 15,365 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 A guy named Jonathan Bartz has been added to IMDB for 'music preparation.' Don't think we can read much into that, because he's worked on scores for Williams (DOD, Fabelmans, TROS), Ross (Obi Wan), Silvestri (Electric State, Here), Powell (Migration, Thelma the Unicorn), Debney (Horizon), Franglen (Avatar 2 and 3), Marianelli (Ghostbusters 4).

crumbs 15,365 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Another clue today that recording sessions might be underway. A double bass session player named Steve Mair has added the film to their IMDB. Noteworthy that he's London based, so we can rule out any composers who don't record in London (ie. Williams). Can't read much else into the guy's credits, he's been involved with hundreds of Hollywood scores recorded in London, as far back as TPM and the JW Potter scores. More recently he's done McCreery's TROP, HGW's Gladiator 2, Zimmer's NTTD, Balfe's MI:DR, Silvestri's Electric State/Witches/Endgame, Powell's HTTYD/Wicked/That Christmas/Thelma, Brittell's Andor, Bowers' Wild Robot, and all the recent Lucasfilm games (Great Circle, SW Jedi 1 and 2).

Richard P 4,639 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Cutthroat is great fun, but I find Debney does occasional exciting score amongst a sea of generally average work.

mstrox 7,136 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I listened to Cutthroat Island for the first time a few times earlier this year and I didn’t get the acclaim. It was fine. A full-throated orchestral adventure score, but the melodies weren’t there for me. Maybe I need to see the movie to “get it.” Debney’s best work is clearly aping temp tracks from Horner and Elfman. Not his fault - I’m sure he’s following directors’ leads. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though his second best score, Lair, was half written by Kevin Kaska anyway. Still, thoroughly enjoyable cool stuff. His Jungle Book is quite fun too. But even there, "Shere Khan War Theme" (if I recall) basically sounds completely athematic to me. Liar Liar is cute also. 37 minutes ago, mstrox said: I listened to Cutthroat Island for the first time a few times earlier this year and I didn’t get the acclaim. It was fine.

I still cannot even notice a proper villain theme, though I do register if and when the music turns properly villainous. As themes go though, it's mostly just the main theme and occasionally the love/treasure theme. It's still the best pirate score ever written for sheer pirateyness, but I firmly believe an even better one with the power of CI and the thematic density of Hook would blow it out of the water.
