[Mindreaper21]

I would love something more like the theme from Total Recall.

[Lily Adler]

I demand a techno pop Madonna remix of the John Williams theme WITH LYRICS!

Or not.

****ing horrible metal-version. I could top that a 100 times. Stuff like that just gives metal a bad rep.

amen to that...I couldn't listen to the whole thing...absolutely horrid. I could do better than that with a kazoo

 

[El Payaso]

my choice would be a revamped version of John Williams theme

Of course that would fit a revamped version of Donner's take.

 

[Wheels]

I'll be glad when they announce a composer and direction for the score. Then this discussion over whether to update Williams work or not will end.

Back in '79, Maureen McGovern recorded and released Can You Read My Mind. It was pretty mediocre - but a bit better than Kidder's spoken word version.

They were supposed to use that version but they said it just didn't fit so they used Kidder's version

Actually... I think Kidder recorded a singing version - and that's the one that "didn't fit" (which might be code for "Kidder can't sing"). The McGovern version was recorded after STM's release.

I could have swore in the special features on one of the many different discs I have said they were going to use MM's song but relegated to using MK's...I could be wrong

 

[herolee10]

I wouldn't mind; heck, I actually hope that we get to hear something like this for some of the Smallville Scenes:

Well, at least we know the MOS Lois knows how to sing. t:

If Watchmen provided any evidence, it's that only ONE man should score this take on Superman, and hell, I'd pick him for the Batman reboot too. That man is...

Philip Glass.

^dont forget this one

 

[Lily Adler]

So how long do you think it will take before we get an announcement on a composer?

 

[Micromind]

I don't like Snyder's choice of music.

 

[Nevaratoiel]

I don't know if this already has been said, but I think the score might pose a problem here. I mean, the score standards have been set by Superman The Movie in the seventies, and it's a well-known score. People hear it and they recognise it instantly. Many people associate this score, as also been used in Superman Returns, as the Superman sound. For Man of Steel to have something that's as recognisable as well, that could pose a bit of a dilemma, or problem if you would. They want something completely new, a new story, but they may also want something, music-wise in this particular case, that's as recognisable as the score from the Reeve movies.

You are free to disagree with me, but I think it will be hard to think of music that captures the people as the seventies score.

 

[Micromind]

Who is doing score for The Amazing Spider-Man and Avengers ?

 

[Lily Adler]

James Horner is supposed to be doing TASM and Alan Silvestri for The Avengers.

 

[Micromind]

I was about to suggest James Horner for MOS.

 

[mclay18]

I was about to suggest James Horner for MOS.

But would he? I was very surprised to hear he would score TASM, as he's not a fan of the comic-book genre. But maybe he saw something in that movie that made him change his mind. I'm not sure if he'd do Superman.

Silvestri would be awesome for MOS. First Captain America, and then the REAL American hero Superman.

 

[DIRECTOR]

I want the music to be orchestraic. Here is a video of what i'm look for, it's a small sample
Where the music starts at is 41:00 (THE LINK STARTS THERE) and ends maybe after around 41:30, so it's 30secs, but you get the point

Let me know what you think
