Yeah... that would be a really strange decision. One that I doubt Williams had anything to do with :blink:

Not only would I be amazed if Willams were involved in any capacity, but having heard Twisters and Romulus, I can hardly think of a composer I'd like to be assigned to this project less than Wallfisch.

Listen to Gamba. IMO he’d be a great pick.

Wallfisch is a great composer when given the chance. Outside of Shazam, not a terribly memorable theme guy though. So if this was true (it's not) and we had Wallfisch working with Williams' themes, I'd be happy.

As for John Williams... come on guys, you don't really believe that, right? Believing John Williams is scoring this movie is like believing in Santa Claus.

True. 

And Santa Claus is DEFINITELY not real. 

Sinterklaas, perhaps.

But not Santa Claus.

I was stunned when I heard Shazam, especially given the tripe written for the DCEU, that it was rich, orchestral score. 
 

The Flash wasn’t as good as had hoped for but I wouldn’t mind Wallfisch scoring the film. It’s beats going with Tyler of Balfe.

Has Giacchino recorded Fantastic 4 yet?

 

Probably not. The film isn't out until July... so does this mean there's still hope that someone else is scoring Rebirth? Nothing personal against Giacchino, I'm just keen to hear a new composer's take on the series.

 

The lack of information about the composer for Rebirth is just bizarre. If Williams was involved at all, they would have made a big deal about it... We should probably just assume that it is Giacchino, given that he's done the last three films, and has worked with Edwards.

 

But if it isn't Giacchino, who is it? Has anyone tried asking someone involved - maybe sending a tweet in the direction of Giacchino, Edwards, or someone else?

I Believe they finshed recording the Score in February, Giacchino did an interview in december or january and he said that most of the Score has been recorded

Fantastic Four is having reshoots/additional photography as we speak, so I imagine there'll be a pick-up session at some point.

Honestly I think the secrecy could be to build up hype to Williams. I’m probably wrong, but I think it’s possible.

From what i've heard, they're just minor reshoots, to add something for Avengers Doomsday, not something that needs additional music for.

That was posted on the previous page and is far from proof of Wallfisch's involvement, especially with the report that Gia may be in London. (in other words, neither is substantiated)

 

I also agree with a musing above that in the, I think, highly unlikely event that Williams was ever involved with this, why on earth would Wallfisch be hired in his place? Couldn't be a bigger stylistic void between them.

Oh sorry for the double post!


in terms of Gia, he is probably attending this:

But it’s more than likely it’s Wallfisch.

Many reasons to back that up. Remember, he did previous Amblin movie with Frank Marshall in Twisters. Close acquaintance with Zimmer if there was some referral things going on from him. And his music style is in line with the horror-mutant concept of this movie.

 

I kinda followed this topic because I secretly hoped for John Powell, considering his recent very successful collaboration with Universal Pictures. I followed the update on JWR’s Imdb music crew, everything almost tracks to him, until a UK soprano ‘Grace Davidson’ is listed. There goes my hope. Powell is so strict about always using LA-based choir and his strong collaboration with Edie Lehmann Boddicker, and her partner Holly also a champion of LA singers.

“Use a different choir, John! Do it for Severin, he’s your biggest fan! Please don’t make him listen to Wallfish!”

I disagree.  It and The Flash have very Williamsy parts

Wallfisch is still a traditional, symphonic composer to me. Yes, he's worked with Zimmer a lot, and nurtured that style (well) in recent years, but anyone who's followed his work for a while and heard SUMMER IN FEBRUARY (still his best), BOPHAL: A PRAYER FOR RAIN, DESERT DANCER and BITTER HARVEST knows he has the chops. You don't even have to drag in newer (and in my opinion far less impressive) stuff like THE FLASH or GAMBA.

 

He would definitely do well in the JP universe if he was allowed to go back to some of those stylings from 10-15 years ago, but it's way too early to tell if he's involved in this.

I rather liked the music in The Invisible Man from a few years ago, but that wasn't necessarily due to it being traditional orchestral. However, I watched the Hellboy film he did a bit before that and the music made absolutely zero impression on me whatsoever.

 

But if he has done this, and pulls some strong orchestral Jurassic material out of the bag - I'm not going to complain!

If he delivers another The Flash, then we are in a very good hands

 

Funny that I keep seeing people mentioning The Flash as sort of his Magnus Opus, because I've never really warmed up to that score. There are some strong moments and he uses Elfman's theme very well, but it all sounds kinda chaotic to me.

And I couldn't tell you what he Flash theme sounded like.

 

I like Wallfisch, but The Flash is not my favorite from him.

Not sure if you're joking or not.

 

Not at all! He's running circles around the other suggested composers with his refined craft.

But that guy would write a fantastic JP score! I adored his David Copperfield score and his score to Death of Stallin is great.

 

Exactly!

I'm sorry you had to sit through that crap :(

 

Anyway, Wallfisch is on Twitter. Has anyone tried to contact him there and see what will be his answer?

Is there any actual hints to his involvement? 

Or just pure fan fantasies?

JW will write new themes and Gia will do the score :thumbup:

The bulk of HP1 was orchestrated by Conrad Pope, Eddie Karam and Larry Rench, with a couple of pieces by John Neufeld. I can’t see any evidence of the involvement of Pete Anthony, Alexander Courage or Benjamin Wallfisch.

 

Don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia.

 

Could be the teaser cues that were recorded early on in LA.
