Author	Topic: Pirates of the Caribbean

Kris Wizard	I heard Alan Silvestri will be scoring PotC. Both www.imdb.com and www.alan-silvestri.com list him as the composer. Director Verbinski has collaborated with Silvestri before (The Mexican and Stuart Little).

ESB Muggle	Great news isn't it? Disney is planning to let POTC become their big summer 2003 box office hit With Jerry Bruckheimer as the producer some spectacular action adventure scenes are bound to pop up. Should Silvestri give some opportunities to top his Mummy Returns action efforts. Although every score is quite different in his case Seems like Silvestri is getting a tight bond with Disney? Let's hope so. Although I believe his good relation with Verbinski was his way into this project. BTW, Verbinski didn't do Stuart Little but Mouse Hunt. Rob Minkoff did Stuart Little.

dgoldwas Wizard	Well, it'll probably be a LA-recorded union score....so.... a 60-min release? Hmm... would be nice, certainly! But, kinda doubtful. We'll see! And I don't think even TITANIC sold 100 million soundtracks..... Dan

Bond1965 Wizard	I can't wait for Disney's marketing team to come up with a way to sell the film by making a Rap version of "A Pirate's Life For Me." \ C'mon...you know it will happen. Or perhaps they'll have they're "group du jour" BBMAK do it. James

Ken S Wizard	Well, if Silvestri is doing the POTC score, then I certainly hope that the upcoming HAUNTED MANSION movie will have a score by the one-and-only John Debney. Although in my humble opinion both of these movies SHOULD NOT BE MADE at all. (Furthermore, as Disney Records continue their stubborn procedures, neither of these scores will be released). KEN

Cause I see a nearly 50-min long score release of TREASURE PLANET, and a 45-min long release of TUCK EVERLASTING..... Dan

ESB Muggle	I think the fact if a Disney movie contains a lot of songs or not is important. Lilo & Stitch did contain a lot of Elvis songs, so a cheesy song album was (unfortunately) bound to happen. I don't expect that POTC will contain a lot of songs. At least that is what I hope! It's been ages since there appeared a score album of Silvestri (the last one was The Mummy Returns) His next film "Maid in Manhattan" that he's now working on will probably also produce a cheesy song album with a two minute score track. This is really getting ridiculous Dan, do you know why the heck Var�se doesn't do anything about this world record of not releasing scores of an A-list composer like Silvestri? I get even more confused when I see all those lesser known composers getting score releases with Var�se like sandwiches. What is going on here?

jonathan_little Wizard	Nobody seems to care that Silvestri's great cheese to Showtime never got a score album. Why not? I thought the score was pretty good.

I'm sure they might be able to give you a valid explaination. I could guess that it might possibly have something to do with the cost of re-use fees, and Silvestri tends to use a union orchestra in his scores. And why does it have to be Varese releasing all the stuff? I mean, there are other labels out there too.... (You're sounding like Brian, now!) Dan

I could guess that it might possibly have something to do with the cost of re-use fees, and Silvestri tends to use a union orchestra in his scores. Hmmm, his usage for union orchestras could partly explain it yes. I also heard it too that he has an preference for union orchestras. quote: And why does it have to be Varese releasing all the stuff? I mean, there are other labels out there too.... (You're sounding like Brian, now!) Well, I mentioned Var�se because that's the only label Silvestri has a tight bond with (considering his releases in the past). I'm not trying to be negative about Var�se. To the contrary, they're my favorite label. Although their 30 min. releases are relatively short, I think a lot of scores would have not been released at all if Var�se hadn't done it. And other labels? Silvestri's latest scores were butchered by Sony's labels like Columbia Records and Epic (Hmmm, Sony also has a evil reputation in the hifi community (lousy service and unreliable). A coincidence?) And it seems like film music labels like Silva, Intrada and such, never even heard of Silvestri. So Var�se is the only label I'm positive about. Maybe also Decca.

jonathan_little Wizard	Dan, you know that box office numbers and the chance of a score release aren't always related. Look at Dragonfly. I feel the score is a load of poop, but Varese found it to be a good candidate for release. Showtime was a much more entertaining score. Varese Sarabande: "The soaring music score for chorus and orchestra represents some of composer John Debney's most exciting work to date. Big themes, a stunning flying sequence, and a stirring and adventurous spirit make for an early film music highlight for the year." Ugh. [Message edited by jonathan_little on 10-20-2002]

ESB Muggle	Although I haven't heard Showtime yet, I was told by several people that they liked the Showtime score very much. Especially the action work. I agree with you Jonathan. And Silvestri is certainly popular enough in the soundtrack buying community to release such a score.
