Max 147 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wonderful! The more Giacchino, the better. I still have my fingers crossed for Brad Bird's Tomorrowland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,254 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Why would he not score it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 147 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Exactly. There just hasn't been an "official" confirmation yet...has there?I was actually hopeful that he would score Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, given his past history with Matt Reeves (Cloverfield and Let Me In), but with this and Tomorrowland, he would have a pretty busy 2014.

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's not like he hasn't done a bunch of stuff before. The whole reason why he sort of receded for the past year and a half is because he did 4 scores back to back. He's done all of Bird's films sans The Iron Giant, I have no doubt he'll do Tomorrowland. Apes is another story. It seems likely since it's Reeve but it also seems like the most likely he'd drop if he had to choose between that and Bird.

Ollie 1,140 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'd love to see his name attached to Godzilla, but given Legendary's history they'll go with Zimmer or one of his factory clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Dinosaur seems the least likelyDon't composers usually record the scores for animated films well ahead of time, then do pick-up sessions for the finished product? I think he could fit in The Good Dinosaur... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,596 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think if Jupiter Ascending is a summer release, it'd be pretty hard to complete 3 scores in time, even with an animated one allowing him to do it earlier than the other too. If Jupiter Ascending is a Nov/Dec release, it's possible he'd have time to do both it and Tomorrowland, but he'd likely have to work on both at the same time, and start as soon as he was done with the summer scores.I dunno, this is a schedule Williams has done before more than once, and Giacchino has an even larger team at his disposal, so who knows!

Good Dinosaur seems the least likelyI don't think it's been confirmed or anything, but a Google search seems to indicate that John Powell is doing The Good Dinosaur. If that's the case, then I think three films, spread out across 2014, is totally doable for Giacchino. It's really just a matter of if he wants to do it, I suppose. As Koray mentioned above, he receded after doing so many scores in 2011. He might not want to be that busy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 468 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It appears Jason's guess that Jupiter Ascending will be a summer release was correct. It'll hit theaters July 25, 2014.http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=jupiterascending.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,596 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well, that means it's unlikely Giacchino will be able to do The Good Dinosaur or Dawn of the POTA, but opens up the possibility he'll be able to do Tomorrowland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 39,596 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It will be very hard to score both Dawn Of The POTA (May) and Jupiter Ascending (July). Yes, I know he's done it before, but I think it's more likely he'll score Jupiter Ascending (July) and Tomorrowland (Dec) before focusing on Star Wars 7 for May 2015.

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 If Giacchino doesn't do the next Apes flick I hope they get Doyle again. His score was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm not hugely familiar with his whole output, mainly just a bit of his work for Branagh. I thought it was one of the better action scores from Summer 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max 147 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I don't think this has been mentioned yet (though I'm sure most of you have noticed), but Michael Giacchino is currently recording Jupiter Ascending at Abbey Road.https://twitter.com/m_giacchino/status/344048295557074944http://instagram.com/p/aX5JvYFdso/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,585 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The film is still a year away from its release, a lot of post-production still needs to be done, and the composer is already recording his score?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,585 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Odd. Not to long ago, I read an interview where the composer (don't remember who) said he only starts composing when everything is finished so that he fully connects with the texture and atmosphere of the film. That made sense to me. I guess the Hollywood system doesn't care for that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,260 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The film is still a year away from its release, a lot of post-production still needs to be done, and the composer is already recording his score?!Morricone and Zimmer have been doing it for decades...It's kind of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, recording or at least mocking-up music early on during the production might eliminate the filmmakers' desire to use other temp music, which might allow for a more original and organic score. But you also run the risk of forming a totally wrong concpet for the score because you haven't actually seen and experienced the film and neither has the director.That being said, Morricone and Zimmer obviously have the method down, and the Wachowskis do as well. I know that's how they worked on Cloud Atlas; not sure about The Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 But with Cloud Atlas, the music was integral to the plot, so they needed it beforehand. Giacchino is probably providing music that's needed in context and will record the underscore stuff later. Corigliano did the same thing with The Red Violin.

A24 4,585 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Everyone works differently.Really, I think most film composers want to see the finished scene. Not only does it contain the right emotion, it also tells them the exact length the cues need to be, so that the music perfectly matches the film. I'm going to presume that the Wachowskis needed a few tracks for specific reasons.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,254 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Uh you do realize that films are edited to music most of the time, right? A composer doesn't need a final cut to write anything, particularly themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
