    And 3) It's not like the first score was any good to begin with so why the second would be fine? (well you never know, but this doesnt inspire me a lot of confidence)


    I actually like the first score. It's my favorite by him.

    But yes, in any event Arnold's VotDT score (yes I am creating an acronym for a film that is more than 2 years away) will be much more worthy of anticipation.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    The score for Prince Caspian will start recording in the next few minutes (seriously). And Dan Goldwasser, the lucky bastard that he is, is at Abbey Road! crazy biggrin


    How big is the orchestra for CoN: PC? I hope it's closer to 90 pieces than the rather underwhelming 75-piece Hollywood Studio Symphony ensemble for the first film.

    And when will Dan come back? Next week?

    Dan is back (he came back Sunday/Monday I believe) (I don't know which day to say because of the weird time differences though!).

    Well Arnold in a fantasy film is new ground for him (if I´m not wrong), so yeah, it may be interesting.
    The truth is that I´m really looking forward to a new big-loud-epic Arnold score.

    Same. Let's hope Godzilla shows up for good measure though. wink

    • CommentTimeMar 12th 2008
    I think of Godzilla like as science fiction film rather a fantasy one, but yeah, you´re right, Godzilla is a good way to start.
    But I was talking specifically about Arnold´s epics like "ID4" or "Stargate". God I still remember the first time I listened ID4....unforgettable.

    Hey guys, I'm back from London. (had to recover for a few days). To clarify Anthony's comments, no, they didn't start recording the PRINCE CASPIAN score last week; they've been recording since late January, and will continue recording until the end of the month or so. It's a staggered schedule. I still need to write up my news piece, and then run it by Harry and Disney, so it won't be going up as quickly as I'd like, but it will DEFINITELY be worth the wait wink

    Oh yeah - as for DAWN TREADER, it's a 2010 film, so let's let David Arnold get through the next two years first, BEFORE he has to worry about that score! wink

    Ouch, that's one slow recording process! Sorry if I confused anyone! shame dizzy

    Eh, it was probably done due to the constant editing and visual effects rendering during post as Harry was scoring it.

    So judging by that schedule, the entire film should be done by the early April, right Dan?

    That's par for the course these days with pretty much every vfx-intensive film.

    I guess... dunno - I didn't check their reel-locking schedule! wink

    How much did they record a day if they've been going for that long?

    They weren't recording non-stop. They'd write for a few weeks, then record for a few days. Mix it, and then write for a few weeks, record for a few days, etc.

    I think this was just the third batch of sessions, with one more batch planned at the end of the month. They got through about 30-40 minutes this time around. (There's a LOT of music in the film!)

    Patience, patience! Harry has approved it - just waiting on Disney now. Keep your fingers crossed, but they can take a while sad

    There aren't any ads on the website, as far as I can see anyway.

    Some time I don't understand the hatred someone would have toward Harry and his music. He's a consummate professional who give the movie what it (and the filmmakers) want, if not more. I'm looking forward to Prince Caspian. Hopefully there will be even more action cues and more of it on CD.

    What I want to know is how much they'll include on CD. They'd better include a lot, cos Disney owning the rights means the chances for an expanded score later are cut very short sad

    But it's always good to be optimistic anyway wink And BTW the recording sessions photos are excellent! Loved 'em biggrin

    Ah hah! Seems like the Firefox program I loaded to the MacBook at home blocked the ads. Firefox at work display ALL the ads you have. Commencing with the clickin'

    Indeed, i saw no ads and i have Firefox. Damn, never thought ad-block was that efficient hehe!

    Now speaking of Prince Caspian, I hope it will have at least the same recording quality displayed on the recent Shrek The Third. Really the only great thing on that score.
