If we check out the past, I don't think he'd get the job. I'd go for one or more of the Zimmer boys. It would be a great comeback for Glennie-Smith. I'd put my money on either Rabin and/or Gregson-Williams.

Anyway, I'm a fan of both Arnold's and the Zimmer clan's music.

Where are they going to get all the planes?

They'll be CGI dude.

My pick would be John Williams because he always seems to compose great music for war movies. ex saving private ryan.

But if Williams would'nt get the job here is who I would like to see get it

>They'll be CGI dude.

#1, they can look real
#2, it's safer... (not accidents or mishaps)
#3, even though CGI costs alot... it's a heck of alot less expensive than getting together all the planes it would take to satisfy a "Pearl Harbor" compliment. That doesn't even begin to go into fuel costs.

Just my opinion, though.

Jeron

James Horner

hehehe

just kidding

Williams, Goldsmith or Arnold

Scott

Just kidding!

I still don't understand why Phillips Glass earns his living composing for the last 30 years or so. His music is so boring after you listen to 2 minutes of it. And it all sounds the same. I just don't understand why he still gets commissions to compose more music?

Anybody out there actually buying his music?

Maybe it's the fact that CGI has become an end unto itself; "let's load as much CGI into a movie so everyone can have a cool time tlooking at it"; however, they forget to put a story in there.

But to make matters worse, Michael Bay is directing this film? I'm sorry, but he's one of the worst directors to appear on the scene in recent years. My bet is you can toss historical realism and probably most of the historical accuracy out the window on this one.

They are talking about using model ships. They're even looking at using some of the same models used in TORA/3. He didn't mention the use of aircraft, but the same planes used in TORA/3 are also available. It doesn't take many planes to do a movie about a war -- after all "633 Squadron" was shot with only four aircraft.

He made a statement about "lots of explosions" and battleships "rising out of the water" when hit by torpedoes. Trust me, this didn't happen. The Japanese did not have tactical nuclear warheads on their aerial torpedoes, and that's the only explosive with enough yeild to lift a battleship out of the water.

As I noted before, he goes on and on about how he's going to focus on a love story, like he did in Armagedon.

I'm not holding my breath.

I can understand your feeling about Rabin's guitar work on this particular film but don't you think he would be able to produce an awesome theme?

Sure, Poledouris could score this movie! Flight Of The Intruder is an excellent war score.

The other would be American Beauty, again to show the fantasies that Kevin Spacey was experiencing.

Even Ally McBeal, because it all takes place in her imagination.

Did you catch "Pushing Tin" last year? Not a great movie; it was about air traffic controllers. They have to get a "picture" in their mind of what's on their radar screen; the CGI created the "picture" in their mind for the audience, almost as a video game.

CGI in space movies have been mostly okay too, as they don't have to have a whole lot of realism to them. Babylon 5 was always a case in point.

But when the CGI takes over a movie (like The Mummy), I check out.
