Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Very unlikely IMO. Captain America is going to suck, and Giacchino said he only scores films that he likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 That's why he scored Land of the Lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Forgot about that. He said he did that one because he loved the show. Incidentally, Land Of The Lost is his worst film score. So, let's hope he never watched Captain America as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I know. I read that. I figured that post could be read sarcastically or even literally I don't think it's his worst. It has somewhat of an improvised sound to it, but I like that about it. I certainly like it better than his game scores(blasphemy, I know) and I like it better than Star Trek(also blasphemy, I know).

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It's far from bad, it just doesn't compare to any of his other works to me. I rarely find myself going back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Very unlikely IMO. Captain America is going to suck, and Giacchino said he only scores films that he likes.I think the only thing unlikely about it is Marvel not generally hiring the biggest (or sadly best) composers. The quality of the film is still up in the air as they've only just started shooting, and I imagine like a lot of other composers Giacchino would be very open to scoring what is potentially going to be a huge movie, especially since Giacchino is a nerd.In terms of him only scoring films he likes, that seems very vague. What does he like? The script? What happens if he likes the script, but when it comes to the rough cut it sucks? Does he walk away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If it didn't have Chris Evans, or wasn't directed by Joe Johnston, I'd be excited. The rest of the cast is pretty good, it's just... ugh, why Chris Evans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I guess the first time I ever really liked the music was when Dharmacide played. I had gotten the first two soundtracks, but I wasn't hugely into them. Then when Dharmacide played, I was just in awe at its brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob 0 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 And with a nod to The Maestro no less:You know, I look at John Williams' career, and I'm always just so amazed at how he jumps from this kind of film to that kind of film, and he was always picky and choosy -- and again, there's a guy that just could have done any kind of every film under the sun if he had wanted to. So I just kind of used him as a model for how I would approach this; if I were ever lucky enough to do a few films a year, I would try and be really picky.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 "The first thing I do is just sit down at the piano and come up with whatever the major themes are going to be because if you get it to work well on a piano you know that it’s going to work well within the orchestra."I'm a fan of the man but isn't this simplifying too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,037 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 If any of his themes sounded too pianistic for use in the orchestra, sure, but if anything, it's often the other way around. I don't think we should read too much into that statement. He's just saying he works it out on the piano - which is exactly what Williams does, too, of course.

Datameister 2,037 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 He definitely does that. He uses the piano as a tool to assist him in imagining exactly what each instrument will play, and he writes it all down on 8-staff sketch paper.

Trent B 337 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hopefully the second Cars movie will be as good as the first one. All though I don't see why they felt it needed a sequel...Regarding the score I'd be willing to check it out. Newman's score for the first one was pretty fun.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 So it's official, Giacchino is Pixar's only composer. He booted out the Newmans, scoring Cars 2 and John Carter Of Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's certainly not Newman's style.The film will be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, but Pixar will share a producing credit from what I know (it IS involved in this movie, however). In all sincerity, I would have preferred a Newman score for this film, I'd love to hear his style applied to a big sci-fi epic. However, Giacchino is good enough to deliver a satisfying work.
