Author	Topic: Jurassic Park 4 possibilites for the return of Davis

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	In an interview with Davis at www.musicforthemovies.com someone asked Don this... "If they made a Jurassic Park 4, would like to come back again?" and he replied by saying this... "Absolutely. It would be dependent, of course, on who the director was (obviously, if Spielberg were to direct Jurassic Park 4, Williams will certainly be scoring), and whether or not my schedule would allow me to be free to score it." So davis wants to do it if he gets the chance the question is do YOU want him to do it? If not who else? I am thinking of Williams (but probably not) but maybe Silvestri or possibly Debney they might do a good job. Or for definete no question replacements how about James Newton Howard or maybe David Arnold? But I think Davis would be the safest. Also who thinks that James Horner would do a sucky job?

Ken S Oscar® Winner	I certainly would like Alan Silvestri to do it. With so much orchestral magic in his own scores, I believe he is THE ONLY one who could make Williams' original themes sound even better.

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	Yeah, I'd vote Silvestri too, also James Newton Howard. --Brian Gryffindor Seeker NP: The Tailor of Panama: Shaun Davey

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	Alright I would like Silvestri to do it to he's probably my first choice. Np: Jurassic Park (John Williams) Jz [Message edited by John Zimmer on 08-14-2001]

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Don Davis is fine. If he won't do it, give it to Goldenthal, or Gordon. NP: Aaram Khachaturian: Spartacus, excerpts (Vienna Philharmonic, Aaram Khachaturian)

James Oscar® Winner	Don Davis all the way. ...or Richard Band.

Al Oscar® Winner	Bruce Broughton would be terrific, I think. He has a real knack for colorful action cues. "Thru The Planet" from Lost In Space anyone?

JJH Oscar® Winner	call me stupid, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a Carter Burwell dino score would simply kick ass.

Ken S Oscar® Winner	IS Bruce Broughton still active in Hollywood (or anywhere else) ??? I've thought that he has retired or something... which is a bad thing because also I love this man's MAGIC TOUCH. "Thru the Planet" is a gorgeous piece of music on its own!

Quill Oscar® Winner	David Arnold...I still think the guy can work magic with themes... His score was the best part of Godzilla...looking at that score as inspiration for JP4 I think he would be a good fit.

Dylan Oscar® Winner	I don't think Don Davis should return, nor should John Williams or his original themes. I say, hire an all new composer to score the new Jurassic Park. I think, Jerry Goldsmith would be a fine choice. If I had to choose one composer though, it would be Richard Band. It's been too long of a wait for him to score an epic and beautiful score for a large budget movie. He's capable of doing such a thing, but he's never had the chance. All for Richard Band, say I!

James Oscar® Winner	I was wondering whether you were going to chime in and support my suggestion, Dylan. I'd like to here what Band could do with an orchestra the size Davis used... I don't think he's ever worked with an ensemble that big before. James

Dylan Oscar® Winner	Me neither, that's why I think it would be so wonderful if one day he got to. And to a film like JP, I think it would work beautifully using Band's talents and a full blown orcastra. I can almost taste how deliciously excellent that would be.
