Author	Topic: Silvestri scores Tomb Raider 2

ESB Oscar® Winner	Look here: http://www.alan-silvestri.com/main.html That news is from the big man himself, so very reliable ;-) He replaces Craig Armstrong. What a business. Looking at the trailer this movie is more spectacular than Pirates. And in my opinion Jan de Bont is a very good director (remember Speed?). His past experiences as a director of photography really shows. So Silvestri DOES score an action adventure this summer. I'm really excited!

James Oscar® Winner	The last thing I need in my life is a reason to see this movie. Anyway, I'm happy regardless, and I'll most likely enjoy the score on CD when (if) it comes out. Still, there's no way I'll be finding out how it works in the film...I wouldn't sit through another Tomb Raider movie even if Richard Band scored it. Kirk

Al Oscar® Winner	Wowza. Another plot twist. So Tomb Raider 2 will have the score to Pirates of the Caribbean, only with a techno beat underneath.

Kevin Oscar® Winner	I guess you can only sit back and see just what happens. Personally, I think the original Tomb Raider sucks monkey pus, and the only reason they are making a sequel is because Hollywood is full of money-grubbing inbred bastards who think that the majority of American film goes are mindless pathetic automatons who blatantly let themselves be force-fed this sewage. But hey, we've had great scores for bad movies before. Just a matter of waiting. And if Jan de Bont does to Tomb Raider 2 like he did with Twister, I'm sure it will be a good comedy. One to laugh out loud in the theater.

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Awesome! I heard yesterday that Armstrong was probably off of TR2 (though the reports of his departure previously were incorrect; they did have him still on board after the whole MFTM thing). Nice to know Silvestri will be doing something!! (I wonder how much of his PIRATES score will be adapted, given the short timeframe?) Dan

If watching Angelina Jolie's breasts on the big screen is sewage, no need to force-feed, just fill me up another bowl.

Squiddybop Oscar® Nominee	Personally, I was looking forward to Armstrong's score, though I don't mind Silvestri a bit. Of course, if you had a gun to my head and told me to see Tomb Raider 2 or die, I'd most likely take the bullet.

JoeInSanDiego Oscar® Winner	I am happy for Silvestri, but just amazed at all the rejections going on...it borders on the ludicrous! Joe

Camillu Oscar® Winner	So it looks like in this round of musical chairs, Armstrong is the one left standing. Does he have any other projects coming up? Still need to get Quiet American

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	Well the Tomb Raider franchise is not known for holding onto composers for long. The first whent through...what? four? So right now I don't want to get too excited. Then again WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Oh wait...that means I have to PAY to SEE this movie. Ah well. Jz

ESB Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by John Zimmer: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Heheh, are you alright again John? About the movie: sure, it ain't Shakespeare. But so what. It's an action film, and a big one. I really saw some top notch action scenes in the trailer. Should give Silvestri some good inspiration for writing some good old super dynamic Silvestrian action cues. I think Lara Croft needs a decent hero theme. Silvestri practically always write good themes. So I got to give the producers credit for selecting a perfect composer. I wonder if Silvestri's music/main theme will also be used in upcoming Tomb Raider games (like with the Indiana Jones games for instance).

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	To me, Jan De Bont isn't THAT great of a director. You can always see reflections of him and the crew in windows (in the bus windows in speed) and on the side of red trucks (the opening of Twister). And the lighting never matches up. I never saw the first TR, I hear it was aweful. I have the score though, and that's nothing too great. The only good thing is the theme heard in the first track. I was hoping Armstrong would make this movie great. Oh well, I guess Silvestri will have to do... for now at least. Clayton

rkeaveney Oscar® Winner	Alan Silvestri goes from PIRATES to this? Bummer! At least with TR and Armstrong, a decent score would have come out of the deal (and a real score album). But now that Silvestri is off PIRATES and on TR2, we get no Silvestri PIRATES score and no Silvestri TR2 album! Ryan

Ryan What makes you think that there will be no TR2 score album? TR2 is scored in London, so no US re-use fees. Pirates would have been scored in LA. So my guess is that there is a bigger chance of a Silvestri score album on TR2.

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	Of course they'll use up all the good action sequences with rock songs. Jz -Being cynical in the morning doo da doo da de!

Richard Street Oscar® Winner	<BLOCKQUOTE>Originally posted by Kevin: Personally, I think the original Tomb Raider sucks monkey pus, and the only reason they are making a sequel is because Hollywood is full of money-grubbing inbred bastards who think that the majority of American film goes are mindless pathetic automatons who blatantly let themselves be force-fed this sewage.</BLOCKQUOTE> Glad to see you letting the British off the hook here....The thing is that the "money-grubbing inbred bastards" are right! Enough people went to the first one to make another one a viable proposition. But they all went voluntarily.... Oh, and if the choice was seeing Tomb Raider 2 or being shot in the head, I'd probably choose Tomb Raider 2. For a start I'd not be dead, for another I'd get to hear a new Silvestri score and watch Angelina Jolie running about in shorts for two hours. Tough choice....

Dan Turns out we were correct rather than incorrect after all, don't you think? Clearly, Armstrong was obviously leaving the project and the only problem is that we were a bit too quick with the scoop for our own good. But incorrect? Don't think so. mikael

Mikael, At the time of your posting that he had left, Armstrong was still on the project. In fact, he was still on the project for another week AFTER your posting. So, for all intents and purposes, your posting was premature at best, and hasty at worst. Dan

justin boggan Oscar® Winner	Did Armstrong actually record the score? Or did he never make it that far? Is it true Klaus Badelt is going to score Pirates?

Yeah, that was mentioned on a previous thread. Hans is actually not going to take credit for this project, though - Klaus will get the "composed by" credit. quote: Another Mediaventures clone in other words...

moviescore Oscar® Nominee	quote: Originally posted by dgoldwas: Having not heard it, how do you know that? Would you call K-19 or NED KELLY a "Mediaventures clone"? Dan Well, of course I don't how the final product will sound! And did I say it was a bad thing? I did enjoy K-19 and parts of The Time Machine (although it didn't feel to comfortable to hear the obvious influences from The Edge - a typical case of a temp track "leak") and I feel that Badelt is a very promising name. I do confess, however, that I really find some of the scores in the Mediaventures style really don't attract me. Re Zimmer's credit in the film I think it's too early to know what actually will be in the credits when the film comes out (this project seems to be full of secrets...), but GFA are already listing Pirates in Zimmer's roster with a "co-scored & produced" tag. mikael
