Alexandre Desplat was invited to Guillaume Durand's "Culture Club" show on French Radio Classique, this sunday (https://twitter.com/radioclassique/status/577149763625345024/photo/1). He talked, among other things, about his education, living in Europe and working in the US, the impact of the music of Jarre, Delerue, North, Goldsmith and Williams (and in particular the revelatory experience of listening to the original "Star Wars"), creating Traffic Quintet with his wife, how he was sure NOT to win the Oscar that night, and that winning it has currently no impact on work proposals since he is already booked until 2017 and just takes no calls! He then whished to end the program with the Main title of "Godzilla". Asked about this choice, he answered that he was at first a little reluctant to score this type of movie, but then he saw Gareth Edwards previous movie, "Monsters", and was blown away by it and immediately took the job. And now, he's very happy because he's "going to score Edwards' next movie, a Star Wars spin off, which is extremely exciting" Coco314

A couple of ridiculously negative comments above... Sure, some of Desplat's work can be under developed and under stated, but that is usually down to the content of the films he's worked on. Unlike many modern composers he knows how to write melodies for emotion, action and drama; he already has a fantastic back catalogue of great music. I'm looking forward to this. Although there are many fans of Desplat's work, I have not seen that he knows how to write engaging, dynamic action at all. A few years back some folks went nuts for that animated Guardians movie, which for me was an awful score, and his Potter scores were underwhelming too. Godzilla, not a thrilla He has done 2 scores that work like gangbusters for me, The Girl With The Pearl Earring, and Hostage. Hostage in particular was a strong dramatic score. But aside from that, I can't be counted among his fans whatsoever. Extremely disappointing news. But, Edwards helming a Star Wars movie was bad news to begin with.
