What Non Composer Musicians Would You Like to Score a Movie

[MadVillainy]

Last year, we saw Daft Punk score Tron Legacy, Grizzly Bear score Blue Valentine, and Trent Reznor (and Atticus Ross) score the Social Network and even win an Oscar for it. And then the RZA scored Kill Bill.

SO what other non composer musicians would you like to see score a movie?

I'd love to see Slash from Guns and Roses score something. Preferably an epic action movie like an adaption of Gears of War

and I wouldnt mind seeing Just Blaze (hip hop producer) doing a movie either


*didnt know if I should put this in Misc. Films or Books and Music. Please move if needed

 

[SuperFerret]

The Blue Man Group. Honestly.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

hikaru utada, slash would be awesome as well, paul mccartney, and the guy from DEVO, mark motherserg or something, he already has done some film scores, and i'd love to hear more from him.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jack White.

 

[Bunker]

The Chemical Brothers
Sigur Ros
The Antlers

 

[Still Wynning]

Muse. The kind of music they would produce would be awe-inspiring.
​

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I like your Muse idea.

 

[Bunker]

Muse sucks, though.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Josh Homme.

 

[Still Wynning]

Muse sucks, though.

You take that back.

 

[Dark Victory]

Phil Ochs
Lou Reed
Death in June
Gary Numan
Venetian Snares

 

[PWN3R]

The Chemical Brothers
Sigur Ros
The Antlers

They're doing the new Joe Wright flick, HANNA.

You can hear samples here. Going to be sick.

 

[Asr]

Two of my favorite artists already scored a movie but I didn't really like the results. Would like to see them try again.

The Crystal Method - London
Massive Attack - Danny the Dog

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Interpol - sans vocals.

 

[PWN3R]

This Will Destroy You
The Lonely Island (seriously)
Ratatat

LCD Soundsystem needs to do another film, but they're breaking up. So sad.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

i know he's said he wants to do it after Detox drops, but i'd love to hear what Dr. Dre could cook up.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

They let use of "omen" in kick-ass, but I'd like to see the prodigy.

 

[PWN3R]

^ Dude yes. They're stuff is already good for film, but a Prodigy composed score would be fantastic.

This is the best trend in Hollywood right now. Screw 3D, this is more like it.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

^ Dude yes. They're stuff is already good for film, but a Prodigy composed score would be fantastic.

This t:

 

[hugekent]

Jack White.

Yes, definitely. I've got a feeling he'll get into it too.

 

[Max J Power]

Jack White.

First one that came to my mind too.

Arcade Fire
Beastie Boys
Beck
Danger Mouse
Noel Gallagher
Rush
U2

 

[The Morningstar]

They let use of "omen" in kick-ass, but I'd like to see the prodigy.

I was just about to say The Prodigy. Wouldn't know what film though. Maybe some bizarre action film of some sort.

 

[PyroChamber]

I'd like to see how Dr. Dre or the Neptunes would do with scoring a movie, without making it a hip hop score.

 

[Spider-Who?]

without trying to trivialize or stereotype the musical prowess of the hip hop world, I don't really consider those who use drum machines, samples (often illegally) of other songs, session musicians and ghost writers to be of the same caliber of musicians that are able to actually COMPOSE a film's score. Unless of course, mmmst mmmst and samples are adequate for a score.

*I am aware that there are rappers and hip hop artists/producers who ARE actually musically inclined, and therefore have the ability to actually compose songs, and I do not include them in my line of thinking above.*

But to answer the question of the thread...hmmm....I really liked Clapton's work on the Lethal Weapon trilogy; wouldn't mind seeing more from him. Might be kind of cool to see some Gov't Mule, hell, even Metallica (their instrumental stuff is always really sweet).
