    Seriously though; the score, esp. in the movie, isn't even half as bad as some of you people make it to be.


    I agree with you D.

    I didn't care at all for it as a stand-alone listen though.

    I think its worth is zero. Half of zero is zero. So it's precisely half as bad as I think it is. And twice as bad.

    I have to agree with Garek. Night gut, as our German Greek might say.

  7. More "Back to the Future" score to clamor for:

    Where they’re going, they don’t need roads — but, as it turns out, full orchestral accompaniment is a whole other story.

    To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the much-loved time travel adventure Back to the Future, the Robert Zemeckis-directed film is headed back in a way most would never expect. IMG Artists and the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency announced a new partnership with Universal Pictures on Tuesday that will see the movie return to venues in 2015 across the globe, accompanied by a live orchestra performing Alan Silvestri’s score.

    Silvestri will provide approximately 15 minutes of new material as part of the performance tour, which will debut with a screening and performance in Lucerne, Switzerland in May of next year.

    The new series of orchestral screenings will actually be the second anniversary celebrations for the movie to center around music. In January, it was revealed that Zemeckis, screenwriter Bob Gale and theater director Jamie Lloyd were collaborating on a stage musical version of the story to debut in London at some point during 2015. That musical is also expected to feature new contributions from Silvestri.

    "Ghostkiller" (2015)
    Terry Plumeri


    Listed on his IMDb page as an upcoming project. It's some sort of science fiction film (from IMDb):
    On the day after Christmas in 1862, thirty-eight innocent Dakota Sioux Indians were hanged in the largest mass execution in United States history. One hundred and fifty years later, Kyle Ghostkiller has the chance to go back and save them. Kyle returns to town after a long absence to accept an ancient medicine bundle, inherited from his ancestor who was unjustly hanged in 1862 - a bundle that gives Kyle the power to time travel. Arriving just after four teenagers are found brutally murdered, Kyle becomes a prime suspect when the town gossip blames the Ghostkiller family curse during questioning by the FBI. With Special Agent Lee Tarkington hot on his trail and jilted, childhood sweetheart Nina Bolton sabotaging his every move, Kyle escapes into the past where he must confront dark forces responsible for the murderous curse, or risk losing the "Dakota 38" to history's dogma forever. In a fierce battle between good and evil, only the sacred ceremonies of his ancestors and Kyle's sheer determination will save the Dakota Indians from the hangman's noose. But can he permanently change history for the entire Great Sioux Nation?

  11. Take this for what it's worth and prepare to be pissing and moaning later on if true...


    I now ask Tyler if he’s heard who will be directing Terminator: Genisys. He’s now smiling huge. Tyler gave me a look as if he was busted for trying to keep this under wraps.

    “Well, the director Alan Taylor, directed Thor 2: The Dark World, I scored that last year,” Tyler tells me with a big grin.

    His facial expressions told me he was already in talks – at least with the Terminator director, which he knows well. And as we know, Terminator’s Alan Taylor likes to work with his cast and crew from his earlier projects like Emilia Clarke from his Game of Thrones days.

    But there is one obstacle that Tyler hopes to overcome.

    “It’s interesting,” Tyler explains, “there are some movies where there are tax incentives to have EU passport composers. You’re supposed to be European (for these tax incentives) so sometimes it affects who gets chosen.”

    I wished Brian luck to land the Terminator scoring gig.

    “We’ll see,” says the hopeful composer.

  12. Pissing and moaning? Why? I think Tyler could do well with that project. Certainly he's one of the most likely to actually try and utilize the theme properly.

    Dragonheart 3"
    Mark McKenzie
    Source: McKenzie says so:

    I found a blog crediting the following to McKenzie's facebook in early- to mid-2014:


    "Very positive words from a fantastic director and producer are enough to make any composer happy…Super excited to be seeing the light of day on a 90+ minute action, adventure, fantasy score working with some incredible film makers at Universal Studios. “Dragonheart: Druid’s Curse,” #3 in the series, a score recorded only in my studio (of course I wish it had been recorded live and yes, I could possibly need a remedial social skills course after so much time alone), yet it is rewarding to freely write in alternating complex and compound meters and rhythms with no concern about the expense it can add to live recording. 17/8 was a first and I don’t think I’ve ever composed a longer cue than the the final 19 minute action sequence. What’s really something is that I washed my family’s dishes and cleaned the kitchen every night without making excuses of how much work I had..miracles do happen."

    Spielberg was supposed to have directed a film version of it, but he jumped ship. I wonder what's going to happen to it now.

    I listened to an audiobook of the novel and I found it to be horrific...it liberally "borrows" from existing robot literature (Asimov etc) while innovating nothing, it telegraphs the plot so often that there wasn't a single surprising moment, and the writing itself was dull and droll. Can't imagine what Spielberg sees in it.
