Fuck yes!

[BLUMENKOHL 1,087]

Terrific news!

[KK 3,310]

Looking forward to it.

I guess we can add this to his list of confirmed scores for 2014 now!

[Jay 42,494]

Wow!!

[Neimoidian 14]

II hope it's not going to sound like his Land of the Lost.

[Jay 42,494]

I hope the film is MUUUUUUUUUUUCH better than the first one!

Now that is an annoying score.

The End Title is fun in best Goldsmith tradition:

[Brónach 1,318]

I don't remember much from that score but I think there were a few cues I liked.

[Jonesy 55]

Maybe it isn't a great score, but it has some funny moments.

[crocodile 9,211]

The End Title is fun in best Goldsmith tradition:

It's bad, this.

Karol

[publicist 4,648]

Nah...

[crocodile 9,211]

I don't really see a point of him doing this score. He already did a perfect POTA score in Lost.

Karol

[Luke Skywalker 2,204]

Great news.

Will he have to use Doyle's material? I hope not, it's supposed to happen many years later (different characters i mean), and lately it seems sequels dont keep themes if they change composers...

[Jay 42,494]

Different director, different characters, different composer... no reason to use any of ROTPOTA's themes IMHO. I think Giacchino would be more likely to reference Goldsmith's score than Doyle's...

[Matt C 541]

Giacchino's a smart cookie. I think he'll reference some of Patrick Doyle's material in the score... but who knows?

[Jay 42,494]

I need to listen to Land Of the Lost again. Only listened to the CD once, and have never seen the film. The film's bad, right?

[JoeinAR 1,955]

if Karol tells you it embarrassing, well this time he's right.

it's okay for a rainy afternoon when you don't want to leave the house and the remote is somewhere under the cushions.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

I hope the film is MUUUUUUUUUUUCH better than the first one!

Did you not like it? I thought it was the best film of that Summer.

[Jay 42,494]

I did not like Rise of The Planet of the Apes, no. It was stupid.

Better films released in 2011 include Rango, Sucker Punch, Source Code, Hanna, Thor, Midnight In Paris, X-Men First Class, Super 8, Harry Potter 8, Captain America, Crazy Stupid Love, Our Idiot Brother, Contagion, Hugo, MI4, Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Tintin, and War Horse.

Surprised you don't think Tree of Life is the best film of that summer.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

I don't consider The Tree Of Life a Summer blockbuster, which is what I initially meant. And yes, there were better films released in other parts of the year, but I enjoyed that one the most out of the 'big' Summer ones.

[Jay 42,494]

Narrowing to just that summer, Captain American and Super 8 were WAY better movies

[Luke Skywalker 2,204]

I think land of the lost score was not that bad... but its ages since i listened to it. :/

[Wycket 36]

Giacchino's a smart cookie. I think he'll reference some of Patrick Doyle's material in the score... but who knows?

There may be a reference to Doyle's score, but there's no way he won't reference Goldsmith. Giacchino loves referencing previous scores for franchises and it would be great to hear that kind of music developing in this world.

Also, Gia likes to bring in Emil Richards - who was responsible for some of the weird sounds in the original POTA (i.e. angklungs, stainless steel mixing bowls, cuica, log drums, boo bams, lujons, and death knell).

Pity....

[Jay 42,494]

I think this has the probability of being the most unique out of Giacchino's 2013-2015 output

[Sharkissimo 1,975]

Any news on this?

[Jay 42,494]

What do you mean? How could there be any news about a score for a July 2014 movie in December of 2013?

[Matt C 541]

Giacchino isn't going to be recording the score until April-May 2014 at the earliest. He's still working on Jupiter Ascending for the Wachowskis.

[Matt C 541]

Fox has moved up Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to July 11, 2014. Guess the studio got wind their rival will move Fast & Furious 7 off summer 2014.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949]

They should move both films to the summer of 2015!

[Jay 42,494]

Lol

[Sharkissimo 1,975]

[BloodBoal 7,544]

[BLUMENKOHL 1,087]

Looks dark. Will Giacchino have the chops to write a dark score?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949]

The talent, you mean?

[Sharkissimo 1,975]

I'm guessing for this Gia will return to his LOST aesthetic, along with the more barbaric parts of JOHN CARTER.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949]

Why do you have a Hitler mustache?

[Sharkissimo 1,975]

[Matt C 541]

Matt Reeves will direct the third film and co-write it with Mark Bomback. Fox must really love how Dawn of the Apes is shaping up, and I expect Giacchino will follow him as well.

http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/planet-of-the-apes-3-matt-reeves-director/#more-660121

He'll move directly to the third film after finishing the second one.

[Jay 42,494]

Cool!

[Matt C 541]

I'm actually surprised Fox moved that quickly. Usually studios settle new deals for directors and writers for sequels a week before or after a movie comes out.

I hope it means this film is good.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

The first was such a nice surprise.

[Naïve Old Fart 11,667]

Hey, dude, why the change of avatar, and who's the beatnik with the fag?

[Jay 42,494]

Recording for the DOTPOTA score begins tomorrow. Giacchino posted an instagram video today of him hiking by the original POTA's shooting locations

http://instagram.com/p/nllS5Qldve/

And here' s a video he shot yesterday while the recording stage was being prepared for DOTPOTA recording

And there's this

[gkgyver 1,647]

Planet of the End Credits.

Funny.

Not.

[Jay 42,494]

I love Giacchino's punny track titles!
