MICHAEL GIACCHINO

ps I think I can even get my wife with me to see this movie... hehe, as she doesn't really like the old Trek movies/series... but she always watched Enterprise. (don't know why, I think she liked Archer, T'Pol and the relationship between T'Pol and Trip) We were only very dissappointed with the final episode, that was a bore.

Oh man, how you are so wrong? Goodwin's scores are far more modern than you think. 633 Squadron, Battle of Britain, Where Eagles Dare, etc.

Check out this recording for some of finest performances of Goodwin's music you will ever hear.

Back to the new Trek score... I'm not looking for sixty's style action score. What I would love Giacchino to do is to go back to a more pre-Lost era style of score.

Thanks for the link, but do you really consider this stuff to be modern? I listened to each and every sound example, and to me, this is - absolutely excellent, but - classic scoring from the time before I even started collecting (1980). Some of it reminded me more of Goldsmith´s war movie work (stuff like Patton, not Rambo, obviously), some of it was Williams in old-fashioned mode. So obviously Goodwin inspired a lot of people, but most of his stuff is seriously dated. I don´t mean it´s bad, it´s just classic, and would be of no use in most modern movies. Stuff like The London Marathon is very beautiful, but I would still date it as written long before my time.


So what exactly are you looking for, now? If you are still referring to the SWON stuff, I disagree. MoH is not too different, as well. As long as we´re talking about orchestral scoring, I´m looking for stuff like Goldsmith´s Trek scores, a style Giacchino has yet to master. I´ll give M:I 3 a spin later, maybe some of it will help me imagine a brighter future.

okay, this is what trailers should always look like. The music's awesome, the trailer looks damn brilliant and you finally have some emotional feeling for the movie as characters

I hope Giacchino's score is all that

don't know, but it could be

because it enhances the effect that you're really experiencing it, like they do in video games

apparently it makes some people barf, and others not

or Shyamalan?

Steven i love Mendes too , i mean his work and his way of directing is amazing , as for Shymalan i have to agree too ! But i like screenplays too ! I mean the sixth sense was amazingly smart !

and like Shyamalan, Mendes uses indeed wide shots, slower movement of the camera than most directors, I can see why you like these

The battle scenes in Star Trek remind me an awful lot of the Star Wars prequels (Episodes I and III particularly) and Serenity.

One word to Abrams: Shaky-cam might work for some of your psuedo-realistic fare like Alias, Lost and Mission Impossible 3, but it probably won't work for Star Trek.

Road to Perdition is one of my favourite films. The scene in the rain [spoiler]where he shoots them all down[/spoiler], is beautiful, augmented with Newmans fantastic piece "Rain".

Give me tracks, dollies, and tripods over hand held and over use of Steadicam anyday!

Shakycam doesn't bother me, but it's very difficult to watch at the cinema on a big screen. When I'm watching stuff at home (the Bourne films, Cloverfield etc.) it's fine.

Thanks Bob!
