Composer for Spider-Man 4

Kurayami · 12-10-2008, 11:18 PM

All right. I tried searching this and nothing came up, so if there is already a thread like this and I missed it, mods can delete this.

This thread has been created to discuss the music in the upcoming sequels. Talk about the styles you like to hear, themes, composers, etc.

I'll start things off by saying although I liked the music from the previous movies, I think a new theme might be in order. There was something that it lacked. I'm not really sure what it was. We need something a bit more(for lack of a better word) heroic.

Maybe something like this:

It just sounds better to me than the previous theme and I think it should go in that direction.

With that, let's begin the discussion.

I Am The Knight · 12-10-2008, 11:40 PM

I actually liked the Elfman theme. I suppose since the new movies will be apparently set in the same continuity and all, that they'll keep some variation of the theme.

TheSlag · 12-11-2008, 06:13 PM

The Spider-Man theme is Greatness! You do NOT fix... "Greatness".

luke1234 · 12-11-2008, 06:20 PM

SPider-man 3 did lack the music of the first two. I wish elfman came back

Spider-ManHero12 · 12-11-2008, 07:31 PM

Personally, I think the 4th film will have alot of the themes from the first 3 films, with, obviously, new Villian theme added in. The Peter Parker theme is also a must have.

*Agreed*

Although it will be hard to ever be better than the first. Just a cold hard fact of nature. I still remember chills setting in the theater with the graphics from SM1 showing, with the theme playing.... GREATNESS

Visionary · 12-11-2008, 09:29 PM

I remember wondering...why is Batman's music playing while I'm watching Spider-Man.

TheSlag · 12-11-2008, 09:32 PM

Maybe IF you took off those Clown Ears you were wearing you could hear the differences Oscar.

Hahaha, well that's kinda obvious...Spider-Man 2 had the same music as the first one, and even though Spider-Man 3 had a new composer, they still kept the main components from the last two movies.

Obvious post, haha.

The whole main idea/main theme for the music is fairly solid, but everything added in was pretty lackluster for sp3

webhead731 · 12-13-2008, 12:54 PM

Elfman.

No argument. His Spidey theme is as great as his Batman theme.

It IS Spider-Man.

Spider-ManHero12 · 12-13-2008, 01:39 PM

^^ I would absoloutely love for Elfman to return, but idoubt he will do to his complications with sam involving S-M2.

Secret_Riddle · 12-13-2008, 05:24 PM

The theme the OP posted is, to me, far better than Elfman's original theme.

Honestly, with that new music..those scenes haven't been that exhilarating since I first saw them.

Spider-man 3's cut and paste score was a disgusting attempt at originality. I don't blame the composer Raimi brought on however, since most of his music wasn't even used.

The Slang · 12-15-2008, 10:39 PM

yeh I got a little sick of the music in the movies... the way you always hear the choir of mostly female voices going 'aauwww' everytime he swings on a friggin web. Trying to make it sound 'magical' and epic or something when we've already seen him swing plenty times. I hope in the next movie we can see him go down the street or take off without the sound of a room of people going 'auuwwWwWWw-ah-auuwww!!' THIS aint space oddeysey, this aint harry potter.

I Am The Knight · 12-16-2008, 08:24 AM

^I think that only happened in the third one.

I recall it happening in the 2nd, my memories alittle foggy with the 1st. But Im pretty sure that in all of them they had the choir chime in everytime he swings on a web... even during the villain fights, theyd switch quickly back and forth between sinister music and the choir soon as spidey gets airbourne.

That was epic. Beautiful.

Elfman's music was serviceable but it wasn't great, and nowhere near his Batman theme. That damn choir alone annoyed the living hell out of me, at times...it has it's moments but overall it's bleh.

I'd really like to see John Powell get a crack at it. The Bourne Trilogy and X3 are two of my favorite scores. The man is a genius with creating themes and scoring both the intense action and the quite emotional moments. My vote is for him.

Daredevil_2003 · 12-30-2008, 04:44 PM

Kevin Manthei's score to the USM game is also worth listening to. Much more 'Spidey-ish', to me. I have a few tracks off it if anyone's interested.

It's not the best composition in the world, but the general direction is where I think the music in the next film(s) needs to go.

ChocheTheHero · 12-30-2008, 04:58 PM

Kept Danny Elfman. I want the music of the intro like this:

I completely disagree. What's wrong with there being epic music when he swings? It doesn't take away anything, it adds to the greatness.
