saulocf 79 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Nice! Good to see Giacchino pairing with more "serious" composers. I like his franchise scores, but I think its time for him to tackle more mature projects, and I don't think J. J. Abrams, Colin Trevorrow, Brad Bird, and his other usual collaborators have it as much potential as Bayona and Gareth Edwards (btw.. has it been confirming whether or not he is composing Edwards next film?).

LB Makes Stuff 240 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I was looking at Super 8 CDs to gauge the pricing of one, turns out it would cost me an arm and a leg. What are the chances of LLL or Intrada doing a re-release / expansion? It was originally released with Varèse Sarabande, so would that play a factor in a new expansion / release?

Click Quote “Marion’s Theme” was further developed as a lullaby, inspired by the second movement of Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 2.” I hadn't heard this before. It seems like the claim comes from an unsourced edit made in 2020 to the Raiders of the Lost Ark (soundtrack) Wikipedia page, and I presume it's referring to this melody in the piano concerto, though I think 'inspired by' is a bit strong.

Knight of Ren 789 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Classic Giacchino. The theme is reminscent of some of his Lost themes, but I like the presence of the choir in the middle of the track. I'm more excited for this score than for his work with Waititi in Next Goal Wins.

JNHFan2000 2,968 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I'm not sure how Next Goal Wins will sound. In my head it's gonna be some comedy writing and some Kiwi inspired music with maybe some more inspirational music during the games. But the one clip released already had a needle drop in it, so I'm sure there will be lot's of those in the film. This sounds really nice and I just hope there won't be a lot of filler music on the album. I've really enjoyed tge scotes for all of J. A. Bayona's films. Velazquez is a terrific composer and his scores for The Orphanage, The Impossible & A Monster Calls are all excellent. It seems like Baynona has changed to Giacchino now, which I'm not complaining about LB Makes Stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a cue in the middle of the film that contains some nice exotic choir (a little bit like Soul Surfer), but lasts around 1 minute. The final game has a fine inspirational sport scoring, also with a bit of vocals. In total, the score doesn’t amount to more than 15 min. A suite should be enough. The movie by the way is TERRIBLE. I can’t believe it made it to the festival. Jay and LB Makes Stuff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB Makes Stuff 240 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I really like this new single. Funnily enough, I was about to post it here cause I’ve been listening to his MoH stuff and stumbled upon it. I really do think this is one of his best works in years as far as I can tell. The choir is gorgeous, along with the big crescendo about have way through. Bravo Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BobaMike 17 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 I got to see Giacchino's Marvel short film "Werewolf by Night" performed at the Kennedy Center with the NSO last night. It was a really fun concert, a Halloween/Spooky movie themed one. He was there, along with Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige, and they introduced many of the pieces. Giacchino was very funny and personable, and my son enjoyed it all. The first half of the concert was various scary/fun movie pieces. 1) Hans Salter's "The Incredible Shrinking Man"- the Jazzy/pop version of the music. 2) Tchaikovsky's music used in the “Phantom of the Opera” Unmasking Scene (live to picture) 3) Franz Waxman's Creation of the Female Monster from Bride of Frankenstein (short version of it) 4) Bernard Herrmann's 3 part suite from Psycho. Audience laughed at the shower music (that always annoys me) 5) Giacchino's suite from Batman (which I like the middle section of, but the repeating beginning and end are just loud and dull. Giacchino, has a tendancy to write repeating phrases that just get louder and louder, without much variation. 6) Giacchino's suite from Super 8 (live to some of his old films he made as a kid. Fun, but distracting from the music, which is one of my favorite's of his. 7) After the intermission, they did his score to Werewolf by Night. It was in color, but the film is so dark, much of it was hard to make out. They played the marvel special presentation theme, and the horror version of the Marvel them, which I love. The guitar version on the soundtrack of the main theme was sadly not played. The audience cheered and clapped at the huge brass outbursts/ jump scares. 8) for an encore, they played the theme from Coco. Fun, but I would have preferred the Incredibles or Ratatouille instead:) Everything was performed very well, the place was packed with people of all ages (some in costume). I've been a Giacchino fan since I first got his Medal of Honor soundtrack (my very first purchase on Amazon years ago). side note: The gentleman next to me recorded the entire concert from his bookbag. So it's out there somewhere! KittBash, DemonStar, Ollie and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of Ren 789 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Yess! Really deserved. It's such a shame that he wasn't nominated for an Oscar, as it has now become one of my favorite 2023 scores, and one of my favorite Giacchino scores in recent years. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the movie took home 12 out of the 13 awards it was nominated in the Goya Awards. I think there might be a small chance of it winning the Best International Film at the Academy Awards, but it has some strong competitors, so who knows.

Knight of Ren 789 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I mean, it would be my personal pick, but The Zone of Interest is there and it also has several nominations in other categories which might give it the upper hand. Both great films so I wouldn't mind either of them, but I would personally choose Bayona's film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a livestream where they were crowdfunding for shows in Edinburgh so it is a lot of "George" and "Watto" killing time with improv comedy bits, mainly a "Describe-A-Thon" where they describe the plot of Rogue One. Giacchino was on for the first 100 minutes and he shows off sheet music from Alias and Muppet Monster Adventure, a Sasquatch head from Werewolf by Night, and a fake logo for a "Lobot" Disney+ show he made to amuse Brad Bird. They also discuss the goofy track names, and some Rogue One and Star Tours talk, of course. He also calls out Monte Carlo as an underrated favorite of his scores and reveals there is an unnamed score/film that he would pull out of his filmography if he could.

mrbellamy 6,293 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The actual timestamp is 1:39:29 They are sort of asking him as a joke and obviously he is cagey about it but he does really seem to have one in mind! They ask him for a score and it's unclear to me if that's what he's responding to or just saying the project in general he could have done without. Maybe the artistic quality or something else about it he doesn't like or just a bad experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,293 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Me neither. Maybe Sin? That would be my guess based on this Gary Oldman quote from the Wikipedia: Quote Oh God, that's possibly the worst movie ever made. I even felt sorry for the trees they cut down for the script paper... If you're a connoisseur of the terrible, you might get a twisted joy out of it.

JNHFan2000 2,968 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think options could be: Sky High Land Of The Lost But all of it is speculation of course, and this is based purely on the fact that I feel these are 2 of his lesser scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember anything about the score as well, but I think it sounded like Giacchino doing superhero music pastiche (before superhero music came to be redefined by Zimmer's Bat-scores).
