Goldsmithfan 3 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I was online and discovered news about the new, and sure to suck, Star Trek prequel! Anybody else heard the possible composers?I quote the site . . ."The producers of this new Star Trek movie have selected two composers for this movie:Kevin Kiner (Wing Commander) and Dennis McCarthy (Star Trek: Generations)."Okay, I can kinda . . . maybe see Dennis McCarthy coming back. His later scores for The Next Generation and all of the stuff after that sucked horribly, in my opinion, but his score for Generations wasn't the worst. And his earlier stuff for TNG was pretty good on and off. I can't even remember the score to Wing Commander so that's probably not a good thing.Why can't they choose better composers? Why can't they get Ron Jones. They owe him big since they fired him for no reason that I've heard of. Besides the fact that Rick Berman is deaf I guess.Or how about Poledouris? (If he's still around! Where is he?) He could do a great Star Trek score. Or any score for that matter!Or Joseph LoDuca! Or Elliot Goldenthal! Or Alan Silvestri (Minus the techno effects please. Same for Goldenthal.)! And what about Joel Goldsmith's great work for First Contact? Or Brad Fiedel! Or John Morgan & William Stromberg! Starship Troopers 2 is the best new score I've heard in a long time.I guess that as long as Rick Berman is in charge we'll see nothing but a downhill slope for Star Trek. First they fire Jones, then they sell out big time with Enterprise and now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 353 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Â I can't even remember the score to Wing Commander so that's probably not a good thing.David Arnold's theme was good but that's about all I remember too! Bruce Broughton would be a good choice, he needs a big project again so he can stop doing TV movies. Bruce you are worth so much more!- Tim.

benefactor 3 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Or Joseph LoDuca! Or Brad Fiedel! quoteFiedel or LoDuca on Star Trek??? Oh, my...I rather vote for James Newton Howard. Broughton is also welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Eh, it's unlikely this will even be made anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,759 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 thanks goodness, you don't have to worry about this film, because it will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Maybe because it's hard to get a good composer to drop into a dead film franchise. I mean, this is like what, the 11th film or something? It was different for Goldsmith in the end because he started it, but it would be a hard sell for someone who is established.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 2 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Or how about Poledouris? (If he's still around! Where is he?) He could do a great Star Trek score. Or any score for that matter!The prequel is not new information......but it is (sadly?) gathering pace......According to IMDB, Poledouris is currenty working on a movie entitled Bunyan and Babe, and he willthen shift scoring duties to - wait for it - Under Siege 3!!!!!!Greg - who would like to hear a David Arnold Trek score....

Kiner's score wasn't too bad at all, so perhaps you should give him the benefit of doubt. (Geesh, I hope I'm not starting to sound like Thaxton.)

Goldsmithfan 3 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Or Joseph LoDuca! Â Or Brad Fiedel! quoteFiedel or LoDuca on Star Trek??? Oh, my...I rather vote for James Newton Howard. Broughton is also welcomed!What's wrong with Joseph LoDuca scoring a Star Trek film? I think he could do a great job. As for Fiedel, I knew I'd come under fire for that, but I think he could do a good job. I wish I'd thought of James Newton Howard! I knew I was forgetting tons of good composers. Broughton too! I just think that the producers really need to stop making movies and just wait. Wait a good, long time for a good idea to come along. And now that Enterprise has failed I guess they know that selling out isn't the key.The only "new" Star Trek film I want to see is a possible extended cut of Nemesis when the time comes for its two DVD set. Oh, and an extended version of Insurrection too.I'd heard about Poledouris and Under Siege 3, but I'd forgotten. That should be cool, score wise anyway, if it happens.

JoeinAR 1,759 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 extended Insurrection or special edition comes out in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krosstj 0 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 UHG, listen, I love Star Trek, but the fanchise needs to go into a como for a while. Maybe 10 years, then come back. PLEASE NO NEW TV SHOWS, NO NEW MOVIES. (however I do love Patrick Stewart soo) I've heard rumors of a Star Trek: TITAN series with Will Riker, OH GOD! PLease no! Anyway, just my 2 cents. Take it or eat it I don't care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Take it or eat it I don't care! I don't think that they need a ten year wait. I just think they need new people at the helm with new ideas. Rick Berman held things together for a very limited amount of time and now it's time to pass the baton to someone who's actually capable.Instead of saying, "Gee! It's been two years, I think it's time for another movie." They should acutally wait until they get a good idea. I'm amazed that First Contact and Insurrection were so good considering how they were only released two years apart. But I guess that was the franchise catching its second wind.In my opinion, Nemesis was great and they should take the time to get all the movies fleshed out before they make any. But that means they have to start with a core idea of a story instead of having money on the brain the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed that movie, I was not so found of what they have done with the "DATA" charactor in the end however. If you are going to kill him, kill him, don't add a spawn of Data. That was sort of lame IMO. HOWEVER, if they could have went the path of Nemesis with all the Next Gen movies then, it would have been wonderful! I mean "GENERATIONS" what a great concept, that was pulled of so half-baked. I still say that the fan base is bored of Star Trek at the moment. No matter what "New creative minds" come up, I still believe that the series has overstayed its welcome for the time being.

Morn 7 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Here's an idea, David Arnold. He's shown he can handle fanfaric adventure scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
