Dylan

PS- I am, however, looking forward to the score.

I don't think anyone noteworthy should compose it. Give it to a new guy and see what direction they can take with it.

I'm quite sure Jackson is going to give us his own vision of King Kong, so that would need a new score.

I think Shore can tackle anything you hand him at this point, but would also be interested in seeing Williams, Silvestri, Poledouris, Arnold, Jones or mostly Goldenthal have a shot. Don Davis could also work wonders IMO.

As long as it's fully orchestral. [b]Give the ape the symphonic score he deserves (which is why I wouldn't be too keen on Elfman, judging from his recent work).

Although I think Jackson will put his own take on this project, I think a more apt comparison (if he choose to use Steiner's music) would be Scorese's CAPE FEAR.

Bill and I often get compared in ways to Basil Poledouris, which is of course a nice compliment. Although I won't mention the title because that is always a curse to not get the job, but it looks like Bill and I will be composing music to a sequel that Poledouris wrote the music for originally. Luckily the film is fairly different from the first one so we need not worry about music continuity and thematic unity, which is fine for us. It was a nice feeling when we met with the director and producer and asked them what kind of music they were wanting and they held up our Promo CD and said "like this"
We get to use a big orchestra and no temp track other than synth mockups of our own stuff. So, for a composer, this is truly heaven.

Hmmm.....I hope it's what I think it is

Mark, Why dont you tell us what you think it is and John Morgan can answer yes or no without typing out the name!!

That would be O.K. wouldn't it?
