Guest Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 The first two Alien films have been on TV a lot lately (Alien's on right now), and I guess I've been getting more curious about them. I do think it'd be pretty neat if Scott were to return to the series and hire Goldsmith. I'd really like to hear another Goldsmith score for the Alien series. The first one was awesome, but I think another one, this long after the first, and also directed by Ridley Scott...how could you go wrong? I'm not too familiar with what happened in latter two, but I'm starting to figure out that the Aliens are sent by the Company to be like soldiers or something? I dunno...seems like there's a lot that could be done with that and that would still make a great movie. Especially putting it in the capable hands of Ridley Scott. I don't know much of what I'm talking about, since I don't think I've seen an entire Alien movie, just bits and pieces of them. If someone's willing to fill me in and offer their opinion on where the franchise should go, I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 After the debacle with Legend, in which Composer Jerry Goldsmith's score was tossed out and Director Ridley scott did not apose this, I seriously doubt the 2 will ever work together again.Goldsmith's assignment on Alien did not go to smoothly either as I understand it.If Scott ever does an Alien film, it will be scored by Hans Zimmer, who's been his composer of choice for the last decade or so.

A24 4,306 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 If someone's willing to fill me in and offer their opinion on where the franchise should go, I'd appreciate it.For a lot of fans (I'm one of them) the franchise has been killed by Fincher, and especially Jeunet who gave the deathblow.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,084 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Goldsmith's assignment on Alien did not go to smoothly either as I understand it.Goldsmith wasn't happy on Alien...Horner wasn't happy on Aliens...and Goldenthal apparently had some troubles on Alien³ as well...If Scott ever does an Alien film, it will be scored by Hans Zimmer, who's been his composer of choice for the last decade or so.Oh my. 8OMarian - who still hasn't watched the extended cut of Alien³.8O Legend, actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Maybe that Giacapucchino guy who seems to have a lot of fans in this messageboard could do the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
