i hope it is not Giacchino. He's an average composer and did an okay workman-like job on the last two movies. I'm just hoping someone else gets a go. PLEASE...not Zimmer!

Who would you like to see do the score?

Interesting. I don't much fancy McCreary. I thought his score for "True Grit" wasn't a patch on Bernstein's work. Haven't heard much of Young's work. Do you have a link to listen to some of his best stuff?

P.S. I reckon Desplat might do a great job.

You're thinking of Carter Burwell and as much as I'll admit that it'd never, ever happen, that would be untold amounts of awesome.

You are welcome.

There's a big difference between asking "Who is going to score the next Trek movie?" as you do in the subject line and "Who would you like to see do the score?".

The answer to the first is fairly obvious: Brian Tyler.

The answer to the second is going to be a bunch of various pipe dreams and no chances in hell lists.

Oops! I listened to that Youtube clip all the way through. Loved his stuff for both Fly movies. I reckon he'd be a good choice. Better than Zimmer by a country mile. big grin

And thanks for the clip.

I would be interested to see what a composer like McCreary would do with it. Same for Desplat, good choice as well.

Some Chris Young recommendations:

No one has actually been officially announced as the composer for the next film afaik.

Man, I wish Chris Young could get a shot. His score for "The Core" is one of my very favorites.

No, no one has been announced, but you're kidding yourself if you think it's going to be anyone other than Brian Tyler.

"workman-like job"? Are you serious? Wow. Well I suppose if not Giacchino, Patrick Doyle would be interesting. Would like to hear what Desplat would do with it. Tyler maybe. But bringing back Giacchino would be ideal.

80% chance that Brian Tyler will get this job. But it's not confirmed yet, so stay tuned guys cool

I thought Carter Burwell scored the True Grit remake…?

People I'd like to see score a brand new Star Trek movie: Michel Legrand, Ennio Morricone, Philippe Sarde, Pino Donaggio, Lalo Schifrin, Stu Phillips, Francis Lai, Dave Grusin, Charles Fox, Angelo Badalamenti, Bill Conti, John Morris, John Williams, Quincy Jones, Peter Bernstein, David Shire, Roque Banos, Philippe Rombi, Abel Korzeniowski, Andrea Morricone, Nic Raine, Bruce Broughton, Joel McNeely.

Brian Tyler would make the list of people I wouldn't like to see scoring a Star Trek movie, but that just shows you where my taste is vs. those making the film.

John Williams (about time he did a Star Trek movie, though I believe he'll be pre-occupied by that other little space opera this year wink )

Stu Phillips (would be a perfect match I think).

Christopher Young.

I'd go with Thomas Newman. I'd like to see what he could do for Star Trek. Love what he did for Skyfall and Wall-E, among many others!

And please: NOT Giacchino. His work is competent enough, but it just does nothing for me.

It would be cool if they brought Horner back!

And even without the error, the comparison is ludicrous. Burwell was scoring a very different movie (yes, based on the same source material) in a different era for different filmmakers who didn't want a score that would sound anything like the Bernstein score. This is not a valid reason to dislike Burwell. (There are many valid ones, if you choose. But not this one.)

Give Bear McCreary a shot at it please.
