Mission: Impossible - Fallout

[flickchick85]

Oh I might be wrong then, Would Maggie have been busy with Designated Survivor when Rogue Nation was shooting?

I actually think it was that show she was on before that with Dylan McDermott.

I saw the part of the stunt that made it into the film.
I have not watched the ankle break.
I don't think that I ever will.

It could make you queasy. My point is, props to Cruise for doing the stunts and like taking that physical toll for these films. At the same time, as cool as it is, I don't want him to get seriously hurt doing it. Just saying, don't do all of it. Do a little less.

Ah, the short lived Stalker!

 

[flickchick85]

That's the one!

 

[Hunter Rider]

That's the one!

That show might have only lasted a season but it worked out well for Dylan McDermott, he ended up with Maggie as his wife! t:

 

[flickchick85]

LOL I totally forgot about that. I was about to say she probably regrets being locked into that show instead of getting to do another M:I movie, but I guess maybe not.

I just learned that on Thursday, Joe Kraemer (the composer of Rogue Nation) confirmed that he was not asked to return for Fallout.

I'm not sure of what others though of the music, but for me it probably the best score in the history of the franchise, and was tied for best of 2015 with The Force Awakens. So I am incredibly disappointed in this decision, especially since it's looking likely that his replacement will either be Lorne Balfe or Brian Tyler.

I think this is all the news I need to pass on this film. I wasn't a fan of Rogue nation (and haven't much cared for any of the Abrams directed/produced installments), but I was willing to give this film a shot because I still enjoyed Jack Reacher a lot and was hopeful McQuarrie would be able to deliver a better sequel. Henry Cavill's involvement was also a point in this movie's favor.

But failing to bring back Joe Kraemer for Fallout has got to be one of the most disappointing pieces of news for film music since Desplat was replaced on Rogue One.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Ah, the short lived Stalker!

Dylmont McDermulroney is like the kiss of death for TV shows. I bet that LA to Vegas show he’s on now gets canceled after 1 season.


The only reason American Horror Story didn’t tank is because he was only a main character for one season.

 

[Aximili86]

Wow, heh, I didn't even know Rogue Nation wasn't Giacchino. Guess I'd just assumed it had been Michael for all of the Bad Robot films.

Guess that shows how much of an impact the RN score had, I don't remember liking or disliking it either way, was just kinda "there".

 

[flickchick85]

I didn't care for Kraemer's score (much preferred Giacchino's previous one), so this news is no great loss to me.

 

[Aximili86]

God, just re-read the other guy's post though. Holy hell I hope it's not Tyler.

He's done some decent stuff over the years, Rambo and his Iron Man III score, but he's way more miss than hit.

 

[flickchick85]

Agreed. I mean I don't think it would be a disaster, but it would just likely mean two M:I scores in a row that I didn't particularly care for. If he did it, I imagine it would be Now You See Me-esque. I'm not familiar enough with Balfe's work to have an opinion on him.

 

[Aximili86]

This is all making me looking forward to do a re-watch of all of them in the couple weeks leading up to Fallout. I've never even paid much attention to the scores for these for whatever reason, and I'm usually a big music ****e.

They're not bad or anything, just have always seemed to blend into the background for me, main theme aside. Should be cool to go pay more of a conscious ear to them, I'm probably missing some good stuff.

The use of the Dean Martin track at the start of Ghost Protocol always makes me grin though, such a perfect scene.

 

[Gold Samurai]

IMHO if Cruise continues making these he needs to consider scaling back his stunts because now he's getting hurt and he's not getting younger. We want to avoid him getting hurt further. That ankle break was downright scary.

To which Jackie Chan would say “Amateur “

That guy did 6 movies in one year with guerrila style shooting techniques at 4 am when he was younger

I don’t think cruise would survive having a skull fracture like Chan

Point is Cruise is not Chan

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, Hong Kong's a whole other beast. They're just like "get up, ya *****. One more take, jump off that building through the lower window and fend off that guy coming at you with the turned-on powersaw!".

I actually don't mind Balfe or Tyler as composers, but their recent action scores have tended toward generic and underwhelming (Balfe with Geostorm, 12 Strong, Terminator; Tyler with The Mummy, Fast & Furious, xXx).

Hans Zimmer's score for M:I-2 is fantastic, and was one of the scores that made an impression on me when I was growing up and got me to appreciate film soundtracks as music in its own right. The other scores for the franchise (before Rogue Nation) suited the films fine but never impressed me.

The problem I have with Balfe or Tyler scoring Fallout is not that they're bad composers (I greatly enjoy Balfe's work on Beyond: Two Souls, Blackwood & Ghost in the Shell, and Tyler's work on Children of Dune, Bangkok Dangerous & Now You See Me).

The issue is that they seem to be scoring everything these days, and most of it is unremarkable. How many projects can you work on in a row and still keep up your level of enthusiasm and creativity? I don't want another heavy on the bass and synth, simplistic RCP-sounding score. Kraemer brought something special to Rogue Nation (which actually took me a few listens to get into, so I don't blame casual viewers for not noticing it), and I'm disappointed that he won't get the chance to expand on his ideas and themes for Fallout.

 

[Mysteryman]

Sadly, no score today.
Just the Mission theme.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I hope everyone enjoys what they decide to show us today.

And that what we see raises new questions about the movie that helps our anticipation level to rise as well.

 

[DyeLorean]

Giacchino's score in Ghost Protocol is amazing. It fits the tone and the style of that film perfectly. I enjoyed Kramer's one for Rogue Nation. Specially at the very beginning of the film, during the intro.

 

[Hypestyle]

so what is the plot this time around? who are the villains?

There is going to be Superbowl spot.
We will probably find out more in a few hours.

 

[Ninjablade]

That looked amazing. I can’t wait for this movie.
