Author	Topic: David Arnold's 2 Fast 2 Furious

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	So, does anyone have any thoughts on David Arnold doing this score? I had presumed that it would be an electronically heavy score, with minimal orchestra. But now I find out that the scoring session I'll be attending this weekend is a full-on orchestra. Could we be in for a Bond-like score? (Yes, I know I'll be able to fill you in after the weekend, but I'm trying to foster discussion, not conjecture.) Dan

Jeron Oscar® Winner	I'd guess that 2 Fast 2 Furious for Arnold will land somewhere between ENOUGH and SHAFT, with yeah, some pretty heavy electronic elements in the overlay. Both Enough and Shaft utilize 'full-on' orchestras. Sounds like a potentially fun score. Being from David Arnold, it'll undoubtedly be good, regardless. He's a great choice for this sequel, though I wish he would take on some more dramatic projects, along the lines of Last of the Dogmen. There's nothing like a beautiful David Arnold melody. Err... with the small exception of a beautiful John Barry melody. And then again, they both have their own unique signatures. [Message edited by Jeron on 04-22-2003]

joan hue Oscar® Winner	LOL, Dan. Discussion instead of conjecture over something we haven't heard yet. And ironically (and sadly) you may succeed. NP Far From Heaven (which I've actually heard. )

Dinko Oscar® Winner	If it's anything like his Bond scores (particularly the last two) I hope the CD mix is better. The DAD CD had a lot of good stuff buried under bad electronics.

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	Mmm, if there is an actual ORCHESTRA for this movie, there is a good chance I might like this David Arnold effort, like I did his Bond scores.

Spicy Ramen Oscar® Winner	David Arnold rarely dissappoints, I will be looking foward to this score. I really don't care if its electronic based or an orchestra, as long as its good music.

JJH Oscar® Winner	CD mix? does one really think there will be any kind of score release, aside from maybe, MAYBE 3 minutes of Arnold stuff, on a second disc unreadable on CD-ROM drives?

Richard Oscar® Winner	I hate films with titles like 2 Fast 2 Furious. I hate them as much as I hate shops with names like Rugz 4 U.

Steve Hughes Oscar® Winner	Dan, Would you be good enough to ask him about the likelihood of a score release? Thanks, STEVE

Justin Oscar® Winner	I wonder if he'll bring back some of BT's themes. Doubtful since they revolved around Dominique and his team in the first film. Would be cool though.

Dinko Oscar® Winner	BT had themes!??!?!??!

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Score sounds just like expected - a fine blend of orchestra and hip-hop rhythms and beats. (Yeah, I'll even use the word "Bond-like", if it makes you happy.) There's about 60 minutes of score in the film, but don't expect a score album. I look forward to the film in June! Dan

(Yeah, I'll even use the word "Bond-like", if it makes you happy.) Now now, you were AT the scoring sessions and all you have is a vague little "bond-like" comment? That simply won't do, Mr. G. You say a blend of hip-hop and orchestra...but that describes everything from Tomorrow Never Dies to Changing Lanes and there's a big difference there. Is it fast, mildly thematic, full of brass hits and aggressive like Die Another Day? Or is it moody with low-key progressions and more thoughtful drum loops like Changing Lanes?

I'm not gonna spill all the details, though.)

Brendan Anderson Oscar® Winner	Thanks Dan, that was quite vivid. I guess I'll just have to choke down seeing the film then... -Brendan p.s. thanks for looking out for me Dinko.

Brendan, the film looks fun - definitely a popcorn flick. Singleton hadn't really heard much of the score before the session, and was realllly excited about what he heard. (Oh - and David even mentioned you. ) Dan

That's awesome Dan...thanks for passing along the info! Let that be a lesson to the rest of you: if you spend 5 years on internet messageboards emphaticly praising the works of your favorite film composer, it just might get someone's attention. -Brendan, happy to be a fanboy in this case

Yep! But on the flip side - spend those five years criticizing a composer, and they might just take notice as well..... So, let THAT be a lesson to some of you out there! Dan

Brendan Anderson Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by dgoldwas: Yep! But on the flip side - spend those five years criticizing a composer, and they might just take notice as well..... insert Horner 4-note danger motif here ...a scary proposition for some, I'm sure. But I know in my heart that Mr. Goldsmith knows that any criticism I might have expressed in the last 5 years for his work is coming purely from a standpoint of admiration for such an influential and distinguished career. I mean, if we didn't all love all film music at its most fundamental level, we'd all be off listening to "music inspired by" albums instead, right? -Brendan, fan of the genre as a whole

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by Richard Street: Ack! Not even a shortie from Varese? Dunno - that would be a question for Varese! I did tell Singleton about the MATRIX 2-CD approach (songs & score).... and he really liked what Arnold had done.... so.... fingers crossed Dan [Message edited by dgoldwas on 04-28-2003]
