From that list, I'm looking forward to:
Patrick Doyle - Cinderella
Danny Elfman - Fifty Shades Of Grey (as others have said, just because it's Elfman. No interest in the film)
Michael Giacchino - Inside Out
Michael Giacchino - Jupiter Ascending
Michael Giacchino - Jurassic World
Michael Giacchino - Tomorrowland
Alan Silvestri - The Walk
John Williams - St. James Place
John Williams - Star Wars: The Force Awakens
I'm also looking forward to:
James Horner - Wolf Totem (and Pas De Deux, and any other Horner scores we get)
Howard Shore - Silence (and any other Shore scores)
Any Desplat's.
Any other Elfman's.
The inevitable Doctor Who series 8 CD from Murray Gold, and hearing whatever he comes up with for series 9.
That's about it, really. Though it's quite a lot, I suppose.
Oh, and Gloria Cheng's CD "Montage", containing pieces for piano by Bruce Broughton, Don Davis, Alexandre Desplat, Michael Giacchino, Randy Newman and John Williams.

So far what I am looking forward to:
Craig Armstrong: Victor Frankenstein
I'm hopeful for a mature score with piano. But I wouldn't bet money on it.
Roque Banos: In the Heart of the Sea
Still looking very much forward to this.
Christophe Beck: Peanuts
I'm hoping it will be a nice light-hearted score and not too much (hopefully non) mickey-mousing.
Carter Burwell: Anomalisa, Carol, Legend, Mr. Holmes
Quite a nice list of assignments. I'm esepcially interested in the Sherlock film -- I want to hear what he does with it.
Patrick Doyle: B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations, Cinderella
Both should yield -- hopefully -- wonderful scores.
Ilan Eshkeri: Black Sea, Get Santa
A shadowy submerine drama should bring a good score. And I want to hear what Eshkeri has to offer for a big Christmas film.
George Fenton: Absolutely Anything
A teacher with magical powers.
David Hirschfelder: The Dressmaker, Healing, The Water Diviner
I'll sample, but I'm cautious.
James Horner: The 33, Aviation: The Invisible Highway, Wolf Totem
I look forward to all three.
Alexander Janko: Lost Hope (mini series), Proof, USCP
Janko orchestrated for David Newman. He's branched out into doing his own scores, as well as writing his own screenplays which he is using Kickstarter to hopefully fund and make. The last two are pilots, which according to his website:
PROOF, a new TV pilot about Vatican “saint detectives”.
USCP, a new TV pilot chronicling the United States Capitol Police.
(both completed as he notes)
Apparently earlier this year PROOF got a ten episode order from TNT, but there's no listing for a coming series on IMDb; maybe it's been shelved. David Buckley was set for the series, according to Film Music Reporter.
Randy Kerber: Fragmentos de Amor
Some kind of drama film.
Kerber has been an orchestrator for such composers as: John Powell, Marco Beltrami, and James Horner.
James Newton Howard: Pawn Sacrifice
Dario Maranelli: Pan
This one has some serious potential, in my opinion.
Mark McKenzie: Dragonheart 3
"Very positive words from a fantastic director and producer are enough to make any composer happy…Super excited to be seeing the light of day on a 90+ minute action, adventure, fantasy score working with some incredible film makers at Universal Studios. “Dragonheart: Druid’s Curse,” #3 in the series, a score recorded only in my studio (of course I wish it had been recorded live and yes, I could possibly need a remedial social skills course after so much time alone), yet it is rewarding to freely write in alternating complex and compound meters and rhythms with no concern about the expense it can add to live recording. 17/8 was a first and I don’t think I’ve ever composed a longer cue than the the final 19 minute action sequence. What’s really something is that I washed my family’s dishes and cleaned the kitchen every night without making excuses of how much work I had..miracles do happen."
Doesn't that sound good?
Joel McNeely: Thunder Lord
Unless it comes out in 2016.
Paul Leonard-Morgan: Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever
I'd like ot hear a nice quirky orchestral score for Grumpy Cat.
Ennio Morricone: The Canterville Ghost, The Correspondence
Apparently the first has been pushed back to 2016. The second is in limbo for a release date according to IMDb (and there's no plot synapsis).
David Newman: Ruth & Alex
Thomas Newman: The Good Dinosaur
I'm kind of looking forward, but I suspect a re-hash of Nemo and and the dramatic moments of "Wall-E".
Daniel Pemberton: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
I'm hoping, but I got a bad feeling it'll be some score with modern sounds, synths, drumloops, and some other kind of crap.
Rachel Portman: Despite the Falling Snow
James seems to think it's good:
"Just finished recording with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra a lovely new score by Rachel Portman for Despite the Falling Snow....watch out for it next year[.]"
Michael Price: The Last Knights
AFM premiere was last month, and IMDb shows no other release dates. I assume it'll come out in 2015 in the U.S.A. Unless he was the one replaced and the composers on IMDb were not.
Max Richter: Into the Forest
the plot synapsis sounds like a good score could result from it. But as always I'll wait for samples.
Theodore Shapiro: Spy
David Shire: Quitters, The American Side
Both completed a few months ago, according to Shire's website.
Alan Silvestri: The Walk
Assuming Junkie XL or some other composer with a stupid name doesn't replace him at the last moment, I think -- based on the plot and passed scores by Silvestri -- this could be a very nice low-key orchestral score.
Fernando Velázquez: Crimson Peak
Gabriel Yared: The Prophet
The reviews of the film from other premieres and the comments about Yared's score have me patiently awaiting to hear this.
