Author	Topic: Armstrong dropped from Tomb Raider 2

Steve Hughes Oscar® Winner	This from musicfromthemovies.com: ARMSTRONG LATEST VICTIM Craig Armstrong has fallen victim to Hollywood’s current dumping spell! Armstrong has been removed from scoring duties on Tomb Raider 2 and another composer is being engaged. This adds to the growing list of composers who have been removed from projects or have had their scores dumped in recent months: Mychael Danna – The Hulk David Julyan – Mindhunters Elmer Bernstein – Gangs of New York Jerry Goldsmith – Timeline Angelo Badalamenti – Identity

justin boggan Oscar® Winner	Mychael Danna – The Hulk - Dumped before anything was recorded, though their could be sheet music? David Julyan – Mindhunters Never heard of that one. Was anything recorded? Elmer Bernstein – Gangs of New York I think we all know by now. Jerry Goldsmith – Timeline I was really looking forward to this and he recorded it too. Damn them. Angelo Badalamenti – Identity Again, didn't know. Anything recorded? I was looking forward to Armstrong's TR2. Did he record anything? This has been quit a little year. Next thing you know they will drop Williams from SW3.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Sounds like a good project for Jerry Goldsmith.

Dinko Oscar® Winner	Yup. Exactly the type of movie trash Goldsmith likes to score.

ESB Oscar® Winner	Jan de Bont is directing. Isn't Mark Mancina signed for the music then? IMDb also lists him as the composer. [Message edited by ESB on 04-30-2003]

Well, well all know how inaccurate IMDb can be. I had heard Mancinca was scoring TR2, but then it turned out to be Armstrong. Now..... who knows? Dan

HAL 2000 Oscar® Winner	Add Basil Poledouris to the list. He's being replaced by Micheal Kamen on the new Kevin Costner western Open Range. Sheesh. It's getting rocky out there.

Quill Oscar® Winner	OK...that one upsets me. But...Mark Mancina would be a suitable replacement.

Bond1965 Oscar® Winner	Wanna bet Kamen will NOT replace Armstrong on Tomb Raider 2? (Especially as he was booted off the first one.) Mancina would be a logical replacement but if they decide to wait until 10 days before the film's release, they could always ask Graeme Revell to do another quick job for them. Let's just say all these replacements don't bode well for the films themselves. James P.S. I realize Kamen's name was brought into this thread in regards to Open Range and NOT TR2. I just decided to complicate things. ;-) [Message edited by Bond1965 on 04-30-2003]

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	I wonder if this means TR2 will be the same dull film we were treated to the first time around. Either that or Armstrong wrote a strong symphonic score and TPTB wanted a techno crap fest.

workaluk Oscar® Nominee	Well if it's not Mark Mancina,then it must be Jerry Goldsmith. He has almost all the music composed and recorded (Timeline),and he did The Haunting for Jan De Bont,so it's the obvious choice... NP:Speed 2 (Mark Mancina)

NP:Speed 2 (Mark Mancina) Of course the irony in all that would be the fact that it was Paramount (who produced Tomb Raider 2) that dumped Goldsmith's Timeline score. James

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Yes, I agree, workaluk. What they're planning to do is just track Tomb Raider 2 with Jerry's rejected score from Timeline. [Message edited by jonathan_little on 04-30-2003]

[Message edited by jonathan_little on 04-30-2003]** Oh...is THAT what he meant? I'm sorry...if that was what he was saying then it was as clear as mud. Doubtful they would just track Goldsmith's Timeline into the film at this late a stage. James

Dinko Oscar® Winner	What if they use some library porn music? Those often have good tunes and nice rythms.

Kevin Oscar® Winner	It might as well be porn. Typical Hollywood. The first film sucked, so let's make a sequel!!! I've heard Travolta's working on Battlefield Earth 2: The Mighty Suck [Message edited by Kevin on 04-30-2003]

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	THIS JUST IN: Craig Armstrong is NOT off of Tomb Raider. Music From The Movies is going to be issuing a retraction to their erroneous news item from earlier today. This is directly from Armstrong's publicist, Ray Costa. Dan
