Department: Rest in the Profoundest Peace …    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 5:12 PM     By:   KevinSmith   (Member) What's wrong with Alan Silvestri's?    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 5:24 PM     By:   Olivier   (Member) Goldsmith's music for this trailer was way better than many feature-length scores (this has nothing to do with Silvestri, whose music I like). What a terrible pity he did not get to expand it!    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 5:37 PM     By:   WesllDeckers   (Member) Silvestri's music is wonderful enough, but yeah, more music by Goldsmith, besides the trailer, would've been even more wonderful    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 5:59 PM     By:   LeHah   (Member) Not to sound snide - but are we sure Goldsmith would use this theme or sound or whatever if he'd finished the score? It is trailer music, which as we all know is a very fickle thing. (But yes, I too love the JD trailer music)    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 6:12 PM     By:   Jeff Bond   (Member) I actually asked him that very question once and he dodged it and just said "Well, I'll do anything for Andy Vajna." But he certainly produced one of the all time great pieces of trailer music...    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 6:38 PM     By:   Freejack   (Member) My favourite Goldsmith work is his RAMBO trilogy. Would have been fun to see what he'd done with Judge Dredd. By the sound of the trailer theme it would have blown the Rambo scores away. Don't get me wrong, I like Silvestris score but it's way too cartoony. Goldsmith's, pure adrenaline...    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 6:41 PM     By:   David Sones (Allardyce)   (Member) I've watched the trailer to the awful 1998 film version of Lost in Space about 1,000 times simply for that incredible, pulse-pounding, thrilling piece of Goldsmith greatness that I could put on loop forever.    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 6:46 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) I've watched the trailer to the awful 1998 film version of Lost in Space about 1,000 times simply for that incredible, pulse-pounding, thrilling piece of Goldsmith greatness that I could put on loop forever. Music better than movie in trailer, that's for sure. Boy, wasn't LIS a puker? Broughton's score was excellent though. One of the damded thing's highlights.    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 7:01 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) Wow, what a crappy video! Silvestri's score is a winner, but yeah---imagine the possibilities with what Goldsmith could've done, especially if he was going to use this ANYWHERE in the film.    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 7:04 PM     By:   David Sones (Allardyce)   (Member) I've watched the trailer to the awful 1998 film version of Lost in Space about 1,000 times simply for that incredible, pulse-pounding, thrilling piece of Goldsmith greatness that I could put on loop forever. Music better than movie in trailer, that's for sure. Boy, wasn't LIS a puker? Broughton's score was excellent though. One of the damded thing's highlights. Goldsmith's music made Lost in Space seem like it was going to be the greatest sci-fi action movie ever made. And when one watches it over and over, one can pretend it's true while knowing that the actual resulting film leaves a stink inside DVD players that stretches high and wide. But I kept the DVD for that trailer 'cause I like the explosive imagery of Lost in Space better than Judge Dredd. And it's fun to watch Gary Oldman say "give my regards to oblivion", even though it's stupid in the movie. In the trailer with that music, it's cool!    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 8:06 PM     By:   Cooper   (Member) Music better than movie in trailer, that's for sure. Boy, wasn't LIS a puker? Broughton's score was excellent though. One of the damded thing's highlights. Lost in Space is cadillac cheese; irresistibly cringe-worthy. Weirdly enough, I thought its brand of sentimental glop was somehow true to the series. And, well, it was sort of epic for the nine-year-old within.    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 8:47 PM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) Don't get me wrong, I like Silvestris score but it's way too cartoony. Cartoony? Where? Silvestri's score is full blown epic! -Erik-    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 8:50 PM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) Broughton's score was excellent though. One of the damded thing's highlights. Broughton's score was indeed magnificent. I can't believe he wrote that in only two weeks. Great themes, colourful orchestrations, exciting action material. Incredible sci-fi adventure scoring! -Erik-    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 8:52 PM     By:   Silence Is Golden   (Member) Well let's go back to 1995 lol....Goldsmith's choice mind you....this or Congo? Jerry definitely picked the box office winner of the two mind you that the movie was just as terrible and laughable as Dredd. I'll admit both of them are guilty pleasures due to their undenyingly bad dialogue. We'll never know why he chose Congo over Judge Dredd, but Goldsmith did deliver the goods for each of them. Would Dredd have been better with Goldsmith's score based on what he wrote in the trailer, absolutely! Give Alan Silvestri credit his score was better than that filmed deserved then you can also say that about most of his projects also. The question for me still is why in the hell did he score Powder!    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 9:08 PM     By:   Freejack   (Member) Don't get me wrong, I like Silvestris score but it's way too cartoony. Cartoony? Where? Silvestri's score is full blown epic! -Erik- Yup... In my opinion Silvestri's score is abit too cartoony especially the main theme. The score is great but I think Goldsmith would have suited the film better. Silvestri scored the movie as Judge Dredd would be a superhero. Judge Dredd is a vigilante-psycho-cop with the law on his side (Judge, Jury and Executioner). But then again the movie was made as a popcorn-oneliner-actioneer. I think the movie would have been better with a more serious approach. and I think Goldsmith would have given it that. As I wrote, it's just my opinion. You don't have to agree with it, but respect it.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2009 - 2:07 AM     By:   Gold Digger   (Member) Any chance the labels could look at this music for release? Say as a bonus track on another score CD? A CD single would be fun but not cost effective I would of thought.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2009 - 2:57 AM     By:   Tobias   (Member) Well let's go back to 1995 lol....Goldsmith's choice mind you....this or Congo? We'll never know why he chose Congo over Judge Dredd, Well, for a starter, Congo was based on a book by his old time pal Michael Crichton who may have had something to do with Maestro Goldsmith`s involvement. Regarding Goldsmith`s Judge Dredd. I once heard his trailer theme used as the entrance music to the players at a hockey game I saw on television a few years back. Yes I am too curious about what he could have done if he had continued on this film BUT what about the early involvement of David Arnold who was the very first composer on board. I wonder how a Judge Dredd score by Arnold would have sounded, that`s something we never will here unless Arnold scores the "re-boot" of Judge Dredd.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2009 - 6:14 AM     By:   Misanthropic Tendencies   (Member) Wretched film?! I liked it! Plus Silvestri's score worked well. And I also like Congo as a film and I think Goldsmith's score for it may still have been the better of the two if he had done Dredd. Does that make sense?    Posted:   Jul 21, 2009 - 7:24 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I've always liked that Goldsmith trailer music, coz despite being very simple - almost simplistic - it has this forward "thrust" and energy that I would have loved to see him expand upon. That said, Silvestri's bombastic music is quite impressive and fun, if you're in the mood (otherwise, it's a CHORE!). Especially love the expansive main theme as they fly into the city. I remember getting a kick out of that when I saw the film in the theatre.     General Discussion: Goldsmith's "Judge Dredd"    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4   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 3 4
