First Avenger Who Is Composing?

[Silvermoth]

I did not mean to single you out. I was merely commenting on the thread topic.

This link talking about How to Train Your Dragon 2 says that John Powell is scoring Captain America

oh cool, i liked httyd's score pretty well

 

[ddddeeee]

I don't think it's likely that Giacchino has been confirmed to compose honestly. Why would they spend oodles on a guy like him and then get Menken to compose one song for the USO show. If Giacchino was composing they would just get him to compose the song.

They'll probably get a lesser known composer like they did with Thor and Iron Man.

As far as composers go both Doyle and Debney are way up there.

Dddddeeee, if you had looked one post down from the one you just quoted you would have seen I already posted that exact same thing about 8 hours ago, and in more detail.

 

[Hurm...]

I want a compelling, heart breaking score. I think the score as well as Evans' performance as Cap will be the heart of the film. If we have characters we care about as well as a beautiful soundtrack, that will be a great combination to go with the more light-hearted script. The score needs to be done right.

Something as gorgeous as this theme needs to be in the film. It's very patriotic and gives the tone of a WWII film.

EDIT: If Powell is on board, he will deliver. Excellent composer.

No Giachino? Well there are still plenty of Marvel projects down the road.

At this point, Giacchino was sort of my top, but unattainable, choice simply because he's so in demand... but I really, really, REALLY like Powell. How to Train Your Dragon's outstanding.

So if it is him, I'll re-reset my composer-meter back to Powell. Good, solid choice!

ETA: I'm glad he's nominated for HTTYD, although I, and my 90's college freshman self, is rooting for Trent Reznor and Atticus Rose to take the Oscar for Social Network.

John Powell is one of the best composers working today. He elevated X3 beyond words.

every Oscar for Social Network is a farce. Even if Reznor is getting the award

Uh, okay. I'm not about to debate Best Pic nominees in this thread, but in my opinion, Social Network is the best movie of this year, and several critic awards agreed with me prior to the Golden Globes. And I've seen Inception and Black Swan and Toy Story 3. Even though I'd bet King's Speech will win the award now given its momentum, I still enjoyed the hell out of TSN the most.

You don't have to agree with me.

Anyways... John Powell? Good for Captain America as a composer. Maybe AICN just made an assumption that he'd be scoring given the earlier rumors. That said, I just want an announcement soon!

 

[kedrell]

I guess Powell could work. Not that I'd be doing back-flips if he got it or anything.

Yeah I agree. Seems like composers are somewhat of an afterthought for Marvel movies.

Just because they don't get big names doesn't mean it's an afterthought for them.

QFT. The best part about that disappointment was the terrific score.

 

[Stringer]

Just because they don't get big names doesn't mean it's an afterthought for them.

Obviously. I honestly don't remember any memorable themes from any of Marvel's movies.

 

[Gunga Diner]

Iron Man 1 had a very clear theme. Memorable or not, it was there. And the presence of a theme doesn't mean that the people making the score didn't care.

I dont think it had a clear theme. And I'm not saying they don't care, it just doesn't seem like having a memorable score is on the priority list for their movies.

Agreed. I love Powell's work. The Bourne films, Paycheck, X3, Italian Job, all outstanding scores in my book.

 

[wobbly]

Powell would be good. AICN have updated thier article though saying Giacchino is back in. Tbh, I think I'd prefer Powell (both are good but I'd say Powell edges it for me).

Listen from 4:10 to 4:50. Imagine that playing in the finale of the trailer. It would be perfect for a Steve Rogers centered trailer.

Hell, the whole thing is golden.

I really loved that. Just... beautiful.

 

[flickchick85]

ETA: Wow, TOTALLY missed the part where it IS Giacchino afterall. Yaaay!

 

[Suzanne78]

I want to get excited for Giacchino scoring this because OMG I WANT THIS SO BAD!! But I'm gonna hold off until official confirmation from the studio... Which'll hopefully be very very soon once the full trailer's released.

That said, when that quote from MG came out, "I have always been a fan of the Captain America character - but at this moment I am not scoring the film," I'm sort of fanwanking it to say, "at this time, I am not scoring Captain America because I'm working on another project before I can get to it." t:
