Instead, it's back to cheesy telefilms. Okay, Broughton is scoring Eloise At The Plaza, while John Debney is scoring Passion Of The Christ. Something's wrong with this picture... Though his score is wonderful (as are many of his scores prior to LOS) the movie itself was a financial and critical turkey. It just wasn't the big ticket to prime-time for Broughton it might have been. Too bad that a composer of such range and full-blooded writing talents continues to get overlooked in favor of higher profile but musically inferior composers when it comes to the bigger, prestige movies.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2004 - 4:45 PM     By:   David Coscina   (Member) This is a great score and I too wish Broughton would get more A-list assignments.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2004 - 10:51 PM     By:   Dr. Nigel Channing   (Member) I also rate this score very high... among Bruce Broughton's best efforts. Intrada has been very good about releasing BB's music, with at least one cd every year... so what will it be in 2004, Roger? And here's where I will repeat my plea for Bruce Broughton's Disney park music to be released -- it is some of the best work he has done! Cheers    Posted:   Jan 25, 2004 - 2:04 PM     By:   vinylscrubber   (Member) Let me add my cry to the crowd--SOMEBODY EMPLOY THIS GUY! That every other action film gets a score by Graeme Revel, or Trevor Jones, or what ever synth-hack from Media Ventures while Bruce Broughton languishes in TV movies is just a crying shame. The Ignorant Producers/Directors Hall of Shame is full of under-used and way over-qualified composers like Broughton, Shire, Goldenberg, Poledouris, and, yes, even Joel McNeely. (I'm sure that last inclusion will result in some choice remarks, but, what the Hell!)    Posted:   Jan 25, 2004 - 8:50 PM     By:   DaveBuzan   (Member) I'm also a fan of this remarkable Bruce Broughton score, especially that exciting "Spiders" cue. And "Through the Planet." And "Robot Attack." And...    Posted:   Jan 25, 2004 - 9:10 PM     By:   Jostein   (Member) Though his score is wonderful (as are many of his scores prior to LOS) the movie itself was a financial and critical turkey.

It is a true shame that it boils down to a matter of "box office" results. Business and movie-making don't mix.    Posted:   Jan 26, 2004 - 8:21 PM     By:   Andy   (Member) i like all of bruce music and concerning your "a" list wishes : perhaps it is not was bruce want to do in fact some tv pictures are of better quality than the mainstream hollywood movies i prefer scores like " O Pioneers" more than any tomb raider sequel but it was nice to hear what bruce can do with the "right" movie in fact i wished long before the howard shore assignment, that bruce did lotr    Posted:   Oct 5, 2015 - 1:50 AM     By:   Amer Zahid   (Member) Wit the recent hullabaloo on the latest LLL Box set. What about that movie score? I never got this album. Somehow this got 'lost' in my pursuits for other works of Brougton. I vaguely remember that movie. Is this score still available from Intrada or OOP?    Posted:   Oct 5, 2015 - 2:59 AM     By:   danbeck   (Member) Wit the recent hullabaloo on the latest LLL Box set. What about that movie score?

It is fantastic. I've never given this score a chance either. Hated the movie so much I've blocked out the whole thing including the music.    Posted:   Oct 5, 2015 - 7:59 AM     By:   AlexCope   (Member) Wonderful score. One of my nominees for Best Score for Worst Movie. Such a terrific main theme, and the action writing in "Through The Planet" and the closing "Lost In Space" cue is exhilarating. One of my all-time favorites.    Posted:   Oct 5, 2015 - 10:19 AM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) It doesn't matter what this score was written for. If ever an album held its own as a rigorous, exceptionally well-written score for a sci-fi action/adventure film, it's this one. It is one of the most astonishing three-week wonders in the history of scoring. If you love Bruce Broughton's other big and busy scores, or any big sci-fi blockbuster scores, this is one to have.     General Discussion: Highly under-rated sci-fi score: Lost In Space    << < 1 2  >   Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
