Some news on who's going to score the film. You might be surprised. It's a collaboration.

Awesome.

Howard is one of my favorite composers and Zimmer is usually pretty good, too. I hear these two are great friends so this should prove very interesting.

 

meh.

 

Is that meh geared toward Zimmer or Newton Howard or both?

Personally, I'm not too big on Zimmer. Off the top of my head, King Arthur's score (as it was heard in the film) wasn't particularly memorable.

I am interested, at the very least, to hear what he comes up with for Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven.

 

Me want Shirley Walker!

 

After Signs I can't wait to see what ideas Howard has for The Scarecrow's theme.

And like that...he's gone.

 

Agreed, Signs is a brilliant score. Howard's best so far.

And as long as Zimmer doesn't crank out any Bruckheimer-style power anthems as his contribution to the score, I'll be happy.

 

Hmm. . .I've always wondered how composers collaborate on a score. Music seems too personal to work together effectively -- unless they simply each do different portions?

If he does have a theme.

Well, it worked on The Egyptian.

 

Zimmer... bleh.
