Just when you thought it was safe to go back int othe theater.....
So, a rumored Jaws reboot. Well, wonder who will score it? Let's look at some recent remake/revisioning/reboot scoring assignments:
"The Day the Earth Stood Still"
Bernard Herrman. Highly praised score.
To: Tyler Bates: Highly critisized score.
"Conan the Barbarian"
From: Basil Poleudoris. One of the greatest film scores of all time.
To: Tyler Bates. One of the worst scores in the last ten years.
"Clash of the Titans"
From: Laurence Rosenthal. A highly praised score.
To: Ramin Dwjasomethingorother. A highly critisized score.
"Total Recall"
From: Jerry Goldsmith. Widely considered one of his best scores.
To: Harry Greson-Williams. Widely considered one of the worst scores in recent years.
"Robocop"
From: Basil Poledouris. One of his best scores, and a famous film theme.
To: Pedro Bromfman. Score not heard yet, but I think the samples at his site for other films, will give an idea: http://www.pedrobromfman.com/home.php
"Superman"
From: John Williams. One of the greatest film scores of all time.
To: Hans Zimmer. One of the most hated films scores of all time. (if you disagree, you are the rare exception. Sorry)
"Halloween"
From: John Carpenter. Iconic theme.
To: Tyler Bates. A score nobody remembers. Probably not even Mr. Bates!
So, we can only guess at what scoring horror is in store for us.
(JJ Trek doesnt' count since it wasn't rebooting a film, but a TV series)
