Scores of 2008

I forgot about Rambo! Am muchly looking forward to that. Should be a little more melodic and pleasant than the terribly dark AvP. I'm hoping it will turn out to be something like a more action-oriented version of Partition, my favorite Tyler score.

And yes, you're the only one looking forward to another Potter score by Hooper Bring back Williams for Deathly Hallows!!!!!

No... I will make his mind up for him. Get the scores. Get them now! Go! DO IT! Why are you still here?

Are you really looking forward to that?

I haven't even heard Beltrami's Hellboy yet, so this second part doesn't really do anything for me I didn't really care for Potter 5, either, neither film nor movie, so I'll pay attention again as soon as Williams is involved.

The ones I am looking forward, are;
Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: for, well, all the obvious reasons
The Dark Knight: as said before, this could very well be something spectaculair. I'm expecting the guys to enrichen the sound they established, with new themes and a more orchestral sounding approach
WALL-E: Oh, yeah! I love Thomas Newman and loved his work for Finding Nemo and Lemony Snicket. I have no idea that sound he'll give this remarkable animation (no dialogue! it'll depend mostly on his music!), which is the best part!
The Happening: As JNH has never let me down on a Shyamalan project before, I'm hoping he will finally give a score that's really good, as opposed to mediocre ( )
Rambo: I won't see the movie (I'll hate it, I already know that ), but I'm sure the score will be manly, macho and jungly, which sounds like an helluva lot of fun

I suppose Narnia 2 will be a case of 'just wait and see if it's interesting'. I certainly think it'll be better than part 1, though.

Desplat does Largo Winch? Wow!
Awesome. That's a Belgian comic.
They once made a live action series of that some time ago, right?
But that's something to look forward too!

The Indiana Jones score is of course the most anticipated score this year for me, but Prince Caspian ranks up there as well. And I am looking forward to hear the new Star Trek - interesting to see what Giacchino can do with the universe - as well as The Dark Knight - the last new Batman score did impress me quite a lot.
And I was not aware that a new Harry Potter is upcoming already this year and that Hooper was confirmed to score it, but in that case I am looking forward to that as well, of course, even if the last one was a slight dissappointment, although with some excellent moments.

Looks like it can be a quite interesting year, score-wise. A new Williams score will of course assure that.

*looks at bank account*
*looks at prices of used Indiana Jones CDs at amazon*
that's why

I ain't holding my breath: the adaptation of Blueberry (another famous Belgian comic) was abysmal.

I have a feeling that this one is going to sound like his music from Space Mountain: Mission 2. Haven't heard it? Well, check this out.

I think Hulk is quite interesting, and the 2 spiderman scores pretty generic. The main theme alone is a typical RC power anthem crescendo but with the typical Elfman fireworks.

And the "love-Family" theme is so sacharine that Horner could be proud of it.

The Hulk has some very good - but sparse - elements in it and Spider-man / 2 are good scores indeed. But nowhere even near Beltrami's brilliance in HELLBOY.

Yeah but why bring that up? We're talking Hellboy VS Hellboy 2 and honestly, if i had money to throw away, i'd bet that the latter will equally be nowhere even near the Batman score you mentioned above

What? Rare as in it didn't sound much like Bernard Herrmann?

Helloooooo Adam!
