Good to see Burwell getting a chance to do new proyects. His last Twilight scores are proof that he's able to write big stuff. Definitely it could have been worst, they could have chosen Dwajadi since that he worker with Taylor in GOT.
I just tell myself that rotating directors, actors, composers and so forth is like rotating creative teams on comic books: different artists bringing different interpretations of characters in a universe.

Maybe a single cue out of the entire score. Twilight overture was amazing. The rest of it was throw away. If the entire score sounds like Twilight overture then I'll be glad but it doesn't seem likely. And it is good because he blends multiple themes in a delightful suite.
Agreed, but the choice of Burwell was so out of left field. I'm kind of curious of what he'll come up with for this. Hopefully he'll retain some of Doyle's themes.
Jeeze, whenever there's an off-beat selection for a big movie like this, everyone here wants their blood, and immediately start speculating about when they'll be fired!
And yet, many of those same people seem to complain that everything sounds the same and/or like a "Media Ventures." Wasn't a vocal majority here making that same argument against Doyle's score for the first movie in 2011? You kinda can't have it both ways.
I never would have guessed that Burwell would have gotten this job, but he's got it, and I'm excited that he does. Here's hoping that it's good.
Sci-fi and fantasy movies often bring out the best in composers, and I'm willing to give Burwell a shot after his overachieving music for Sparklepires: The Movie.
However, I fear that Burwell will suffer the usual fate of an off-beat composer choice, the same fate he suffered on "The Gangster Squad:" rejection and replacement by Lorne Jablonsky-Djawadi.
Burwell will for sure be forced to compose on the "Zimmer-Wall-of-Sounds" style, just like Doyle was.
What a shame.
I have to say I have the same worries as YOR here, though I was impressed with how much of his own style Doyle managed to get through in the original. But Burwell is an even more unlikely convert to the hans Zimmer style than Doyle, so I'm even more interested in how he integrates his own style into that sound. I should point out though that I'm open to zimmer's style, and I enjoy one composer's sound melding with another's. I think it would be silly to assume that the rc/mv won't dominate the score, however. It's certainly not going to be temped with gods and monsters or being John malkovich!
