    Well, Kenneth Branagh is in negotiations to direct Thor for Marvel Studios, so unless Marvel says otherwise, this will be Doyle's first venture into superhero territory.

    I'm not sure if he can pull it off, though.


    not pull it off?

    My review of Doyle's Eragon:

    " A score its film just doesn't live up to. "


    The 2006 failure known as Eragon is not altogether a failure, as evidenced by Patrick Doyle's thrilling score. An excellent work of film scoring, the atmospheric, adventurous, bombastic Eragon is something wonderful to behold. The film could have been a success, the next fantasy franchise to smash the box office, break records, and be everything The Lord of the Rings was several years back. Unfortunately, the screenwriters didn't have a clue how to successfully and correctly adapt a book into a film, and the resulting movie was loathed by fans of the novel everywhere.

    Patrick Doyle's score, however, did not follow suit. The music of Eragon is excellent, presented in a wonderful album (with a great cover!), which comprises a good listening experience for the fans of the film or novel. Not only does this music fit the film well, but carries the musical soundscape one would expect to find when reading the original novel.

    Doyle paints the land of Alagaesia with notes on a musical staff like a paintbrush on a canvas, weaving together a coherent, likable auditory environment, similar to those of The Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia, but noticeably darker than the latter. The soundtrack is begun with a bombastic theme in a major key (Eragon), followed by tracks of sadness and joy (Roran Leaves, Saphira's First Flight) before shifting into a darker, wilder setting (Ra'zac, Burning Farm, Fortune Teller).

    Then, we are refamiliarized with the main theme in its bombastic setting (If You Were Flying), before the soundtrack plunges back into darkness (Brom's Story, Durza), followed by a brief glimmer of hope (Passing the Flame), and then, the major event of the score, the stereotypical fantasy battle, in a style so different from that which has been previously established, that it could easily be from an entirely different score and fantastical world (Battle for Varden). After the battle, this wild beast of a score calms down, growing overall quiet and reflective (Together, Saphira Returns), before the work closes in triumphant, climactic trumpet calls (The Legend of Eragon).

    As a score, Eragon has a lot to offer. It complements the movie nicely, sounds fantastic, has some good themes established early on and makes good use of them as the work progresses. However, if you're looking for John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, you're looking in the wrong place. This score is not about creating and developing memorable themes which will be hummed by people thirty years from now, but rather about successfully following and accompanying the story of Eragon the young farm boy (Luke Skywalker, anyone?) on his journey to becoming a great Dragon Rider. This, it does fantastically, and Mr. Doyle is to be commended for this splendid work of film scoring! Bravo!

  6. "Thor" to begin shooting January 2010, and Kenneth Branagh is still doing it. Doyle has scored about half the movies Kenneth Branagh has directed.

  7. Hasn't he done all the films that had scores?

    Excluding "The Magic Flute" which was not a film per se, IMDB shows these Kenneth Branagh directed movies not done by Doyle:

    "In the Bleak Midwinter" -- Jimmy Yuill
    "Peter's Friends" (might just be re-used music from various sources)
    "Swan Song" -- Jimmy Yuill

    And a short film which he may also not have scored.

    I agree with the list too; Isn't it NOUVELLE FRANCE btw? A definite must-have, one of his most overlooked, grand scale gems with lush themes. And Frankenstein is truly a masterpiece from note 1 to end.

    I never seen the film. It is with Joseph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas. An epic about anthropologists who hunt and capture pygmies for study back in Europe, in an attempt to illustrate the link between man and ape.

    I notice that Patrick Doyle is attached to score Main Street on IMDB. Can anyone confirm/deny his involvement with the movie? It was shot in my home town, and there was a lot of local media coverage because Orlando Bloom and Colin Firth were in it.

    Oh, silly me. I hope it finds a distributor then, and that Doyle's score gets a commercial release. I'd love to hear it.
