Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPAug-29-2013 11:31 AMcan you post the link of where Legendary Pictures announced that?Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPAug-29-2013 11:53 AMThe link is the word "Godzilla" highlighted in red at the top of the page. P.S I'm using mobile so I don't know how to.Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPAug-29-2013 12:00 PMwell i been to the site and no where does it say anything regards to an announcement for composer. i been trying to get confirmation. I checked on IMDb for Alaxendre Desplat and nothing listed him as composer unless there is another Alaxendre Desplat and Legendary Facebook page does not have anything either. if you can find and post the link please do so that says Legendary did announce it.thanks
Mothra LarvaeMember0 XPAug-29-2013 12:19 PMIf you look at the list of legendary pictures movies it will have Godzilla (of course). click on it and travel to the synopsis. Below that it will list the crew that helped. at the very end it says "The score is being created by Oscar- Nominated composer Alaxandre Desplat (Argo, The Kings Speech)".
GodzillaAdmin5254 XPAug-29-2013 5:55 PMTeam GhidorahInteresting choice. Not too surprising, I guess, considering the rest of the crew is practically from the indie world. I'm sure he'll turn in a fine score."'Nostalgic' does not equal 'good,' and 'standards' does not equal 'elitism.'" "Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is your choice."
Mothra LarvaeMember54 XPAug-29-2013 9:13 PMHe also did the music for New Moon from the Twilight sagaGodzillaAdmin5254 XPAug-30-2013 1:29 AMTeam GhidorahBefore people get their panties in a bunch about the fact Desplat composed Twilight, lets remember there are plenty of great composers who have composed terrible films:
Hans Zimmer - The Lone Ranger, Broken Arrow, The Holiday...etc...
Brian Tyler - Dragonball: Evolution, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
John Williams - Star Wars prequels
Jerry Goldsmith - Star Trek V, Small Soldiers, Rambo III
Just because he did [i]Twilight[/i] doesn't mean he's a bad composer."'Nostalgic' does not equal 'good,' and 'standards' does not equal 'elitism.'" "Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is your choice."
Mothra LarvaeMember10 XPAug-30-2013 1:34 AMI wouldn't exactly call him indie. As Kaijusaurus pointed out, he's done films like Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, and Harry Potter. He's done a lot of movies that were nominated for Oscars, as well as having his Fantastic Mr. Fox score nominated.
Listening to music off his official site, I'm excited to say that his stuff doesn't sound all similar. As good as John Williams is, since he's done so many movies, his material started to sound the same.
I like Mr. Desplat's Zero Dark Thirty score. It is dark, and I actually like the track he uses on his site. The pulsing and dragging strings, the dark sounding horns. It's not exactly what I would use as Godzilla's theme but it's got a very similar element to what I would like to hear in the movie.GodzillaAdmin5254 XPAug-30-2013 2:02 PMTeam GhidorahVery true, but his indie/foreign film credits far outweigh his Oscar/blockbuster credits. Not that this is a bad thing. Edwards comes from the same place, quite literally-- Jumping from the indie world to the blockbuster. So it sounds like the two will really understand one anothers language, which is very important.
I do need to give Mr. Desplat's [i]Zero Dark Thirty[/i] score a chance. As it stands I really enjoyed his stuff for [i]The Ides of March[/i] and[i] Harry Potter[/i] the most. Those are at least the most accessible. "'Nostalgic' does not equal 'good,' and 'standards' does not equal 'elitism.'" "Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is your choice."
