I've been checking this out on Spotify and it's surprisingly good!

Dylan:
As an aside, was Ramin Djawadi really del Toro's choice for "Pacific Rim?" Though I didn't see the film or hear the score beyond clips (which weren't my cup of tea), Djawadi strikes me as a studio-imposed choice rather than somebody del Toro would choose.


I can't say, but I recall the word was originally that Beltrami was going to do it.

Nope.


All I remember is that Del Toro himself commented somewhere that he was going to work with an Oscar winner and one of the most popular composers around, which would suggest Zimmer... perhaps he just wasn't available and Djawadi was next in the line.

Del Toro is using Djawadi on his FX series The Strain, so it wasn't an entirely fruitless relationship.

Indeed, great review!.

Just a note: the score has not been recorded with two orchestras, but only with The London Philharmonia. In Madrid was recorded some demos, but nothing appears in the film, this is a mistake that appears in the end credits of the film.

Then came to the scene another composer (Tim Davies) who wrote some short cues that replaced the original Velázquez's tracks ("The Butterfly", for example), recorded also in London and conducted by James Shearman.

In the album we have included everything Fernando wrote and recorded for the film, in its original conception, recorded entirely in London.

Interesting! Could you elaborate on why certain smaller cues were rewritten by another composer? Were picture changes made after scoring had taken place?

Most likely additional cuts required more session time... but when I talked about it with both James and Fernando in April they weren't sure themselves and nobody knew if it was "whole new" score or just adaptation of Fernando's music for the new cut.
Perhaps someone who saw the movie and heard the score in the film can say how different the music in the film actually was.

Does anyone know why this wasn't included in the list of Oscar-eligible scores? I can't imagine it not having been submitted.

Perhaps because another composer was brought in after the score was completed and the finished score as heard in the film is a bastard son of two fathers... therefore it's not elligible...

Or perhaps just because nobody cared enough to submitt it?

Some combination of the music being too good, and the studio not wanting to throw good money after bad in mounting a campaign to get it nominated, because the movie was a huge flop. Shame...it's easily some of the best film music I heard all year (and the movie was highly underrated as well).
