soundtrack

Post by Alynna Lis Eachann »

I know, I know, I'm getting way ahead of things, but it's been bugging me for a few days. So...

Who would you like to do the TC movie soundtrack?

My first choice was Jerry Goldsmith, but *sigh* he passed away a few months ago. David Arnold's Stargate soundtrack would be the one I'd want with me if I were stuck on a desert island with a CD player, a box of batteries and one CD, so I think he's my pick to do the Land justice. David Arnold also did music for Stargate SG-1, Independence Day, and the recent Bond flicks.

Here are some other guys who I think could do it:

John Williams (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones, and just about every other movie you've ever seen)

Howard Shore (LOTR, Dogma, The Cell, Mrs. Doubtfire, and everything that John Williams didn't compose)

Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Carribean, K-19, Pearl Harbor)

John Ottman (X-Men, The Cable Guy)

Hans Zimmer (The Ring, Blackhawk Down, Pearl Harbor)

Joel Goldsmith (Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Star Trek: First Contact)

Hans Zimmer, he also did the Gladiator soundtrack, my all-time favourite.

James Horner, who did Braveheart. Braveheart and Gladiator were probably my 2 favorite scores.

Hmmm...this is an interesting idea. I can just see the song titles they come up with now:

Comfortably Leprous

Careful With That Ring, Eugene

Another Brick In The Lord's Keep

Shine On You Crazy White Gold

:P

Good ones :)

Here's a couple more:

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sunbane

Several Species of Small Hairless Waynhim Getting Together in Their Weird and Grooving with a Pict

Run Like Hellfire!

;)

Maybe they could call the sound track "The Dark Side of Drool's Bloody Moon"

obvilusly NOBUO UEMATSU must compose the score for the movie! he composed every peice of music for every final fantasy game except for a few spin offs, he would do a brilliant job of representing the land through music.

Nobuo Uematsu composes excellent music, but I still think that from what I've heard of Hans Zimmer he'd do a more land-appropriate score.

Another suggestion: Woyzek Kilar (Sp?). He composed one of my favorite soundtracks, that of "Bram Stoker's Dracula". Very sad and beautiful.

Seriously,
A composer is the same as the director and actors and the rest of the crew... it depends upon the amount of money you got to spend.

If they were willing to spend LOTR's budget on it then they'd be able to get John Williams and any other of those great ones.

Hmm, $250 million spent how many ways??

All good suggestions. I'm just hoping they don't come up with some dopey dramatic ballad sung by Celine Dion!

Oh my God, you're right. How stupid of me! I just wasn't thinking. Maybe THEY didn't hear me?
