PrayodiBA 777 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I am too curious of who the composer will be. Here I gave some of the most likely alternatives based on the composer’s work history with the director/producer/music producer/the studio etc. 1. Michael Giacchino - well, duh…. I hope this won’t be the case 2. Hans Zimmer - even though he is the latest composer who collaborated with the director Gareth Edwards, I doubt he want to write music based on existing materials, in particular by John Williams, which he once did and heavily criticized for it in Man of Steel. I think he won’t want to feel that kind of hassle again. 3. Benjamin Wallfisch - he just collaborated with producer Frank Marshall and Universal Pictures in Twisters. I have a feeling he could be a likely and strong candidate for this. He is the classical equivalent of Lorne Balfe, so he will definitely take the job if he is offered. If he delivers the same quality as The Flash, then I won’t have any problem with it. He also would certainly get referral from Zimmer, if Gareth approaches him first. 4. Kris Bowers - he is just fresh from successful collaboration with Universal Pictures (in particular with Uni’s music presiden Mike Knobloch) in The Wild Robot. His almost-certain Oscar nom will surely help the chance. Heck, if Gareth Edwards want a Zimmer-sounding score but can’t afford him, Bowers can become an alternative. Though I personally don’t like this assignment 5. John Powell - he is currently having a great working relationship with Universal Pictures, consecutively from Migration, Wicked 1 & 2, and upcoming How To Train Your Dragon live action remake. Uni’s music executives love him, and of course he is the best choice for this. But scheduling conflict with How To Train Your Dragon (close release date in June and July) might prevent that chance. 5. Alexandre Desplat - he is too among the best choice for this. But I doubt the studio and producer want to collaborate again with a composer who openly despises Hollywood studio system. And I doubt Desplat would want that conflict as well. 6. Ludwig Goransson - he got two Oscar nom from his collaboration with Universal Pictures in Nolan’s movies. He is too no stranger to adapting and developing upon John Williams’s music. He has no big assignment in 2025. And judging by the movie’s “mininalist” thriller and jungle theme, he will be a good choice. Again, he is the best alternative for director who can’t afford Zimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,877 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I just hope the film is half as entertaining as this… basically a low budget comedy theatre version of Jurassic Park.

Tallguy 4,818 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The only two films I unreservedly enjoy with no caveats are Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. I like III rather a lot but I don't go back to it unless we've just watched one of the others. Jurassic II is a masterpiece compared to JW2 and JW3. And I like Gareth Edwards. So... Sure. I'm up for this. EDIT: Has Desplat not been mentioned as a possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 8,832 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Despite not being a fan of any of the WORLD movies, I've seen all of them 4-5 times each. And stumbled my way through the friggin' kiddie show on Netflix. That's how much of a JP nut I am; I'm willing to forego my misgivings just to be in that world. (I've also played the Telltale videogame and seen the original three films hundreds of times combined, but that's a different story). Hopefully, however, this new film will be BOTH good AND satisfy my JP needs. No need to forego anything. Bayesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bayesian 1,464 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Wouldn’t it be just darling if it turns out JW wasn’t actually ill or recovering these past several months but instead secretly working on this score the whole time??

Not Mr. Big 4,757 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I wish they'd make the dinosaurs more real-life accurate. The featherless dinosaurs in the first movies made sense since that was where the science was at the time. Now they're like real life dino fan fiction.

Thor 8,832 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Opposite for me. I remember the first time I saw JURASSIC PARK and being bummed to hear about the bird connection when Grant explains it at the dig. I hadn't heard of that before. I gotta give it to the fat kid in the scene -- that doesn't sound scary at all! Fortunately, the film still had reptilian-looking beasts, which are way cooler. It's only in later years that they've started adding feathers and shit to T-Rexes and raptors. Closer to the truth, perhaps, but way more meek.

I once had a girlfriend who had a little phobia of birds. And ironically we experiecned her multiple times getting attacked by birds. This seemed to have been a two way thing between her and the birds. But there I realised that, when birds don't flee but actually fly in your direction they can appear very threattening.
