Joel Iwataki is recording Star Trek Into Darkness.
I'm not a Giacchino fan, usually (in part because of how terrible most of his albums sound) but this news is the first thing I've heard about this score which actually makes me interested in hearing it.

Are you sure JW did that on Tintin? Maybe there are traces of it in the later tracks on the cd.
Well, most of the leaked sheets of Tintin are typeset, and not handwritten (Except for a few sketches).
Those typeset sheets are fan made, not made by anyone who actually worked on the film. I've seen the sketches and orchestrated sheets for Tintin and they are hand-written as always.

very interesting, I like the symphonic treatment of the theme in the shorter clip very much, actually noone today is writing such kind of old-school-symphonic-movement in film scores.
I always felt that is something for example some of the Lord of the Rings themes are lacking, there is no symphonic movement on the fellowship theme, and it is very hard to write one. That's why that LotR symphony is basically a compilation of cues, not actual symphonic treatments of themes.
Well back on-topic, I like that symphonic form as a fully developed movement to present a theme.
The longer clip demonstrates that Giacchino sticks to his very simple themes and orchestrations for long sections in his themes. That's pretty effective and his own style by now,
but for my taste it feels a bit "unfinished" and though it is catchy when listening to it for the first time it wears off and for my taste it loses attractions very soon, for example the simplicities in Let me in and also the simple cues in John Carter. A bit more counterpoint, a bit more rhythmic complexity, a bit more confronting details in orchestrations and it would not wear off I think.
This is of course complaining on a very high level and based on the 7 minutes end credits music excerpt (which is a theme-treatment), no need to feel offended.
I admire Giacchino extraordinarily, he is brillant.

And I am grateful that Abrams still wants this kind of score in his films and Giacchino is able to provide it.

I hope it'll be a better score this time. Wasn't satisfied with the last STAR TREK score. To my ears far away from the class of Goldsmith, Horner and Rosenman...
