VERY excited to see Malick working with another gifted composer on his new film, which apparently will be his first in quite a while to be a more conventional narrative film based entirely on a script.
It's a WWII period film about a conscientious objector imprisoned by the Nazis for refusing to fight.
Premieres at Cannes.

If he survives. Malick has a tendency to go through two or three composes on each of his films, and the one he settles on will have only a portion of his score remaining in the film.

I feel like, by this point, composers know that going in. I don't think any of Desplat's score survived in the theatrical cut of Tree of Life (though a few cues surfaced in the extended Criterion Blu-Ray version), but Desplat had nothing but good things to say about the process, and his full rejected score was still released on CD.
Of course James Horner famously had nothing positive to say about his own process with Malick, but again his full score got a CD release, even though only portions survived in the film. And while it's a nice Horner album, in the context of the film, I prefer the classical pieces Malick replaced much of his score with.
And of course The Thin Red Line gave us the epic 4-disc Zimmer set we just got, even if it took 20 years.

IMO the Horner would have been a better match for The New World than Wagner et al.

TNW was a.huge disappointment for me. It seemed like a film perfectly suited to Horner's strengths as a composer. But he turned in a curiously uninvolving effort.
Oh well.

We'll agree to disagree.
Much like 2001, I think THE NEW WORLD benefited enormously from having pieces of actual existing classical music, whatever other connections they may have, instead of just standard film score. And I think the few pieces of Horner's score left in the film, many of which are not even on his album, are gorgeous.
The piano piece as Pocahontas falls in love with Rolfe is breathtaking, but Horner left it off the album, it's only on the FYC CD.
Horner's score is lovely, but is more appropriate for a conventional movie. Of course Horner famously objected to the fact that Malick specifically DIDN'T want his film to be that, even though he had the material to assemble such a movie. Horner was clearly furious at this choice, but it's what I adore about the film, it has no interest in being traditional, it's all experiential and subjective.
It's interesting to compare The New World and Avatar, since they both draw from the same narrative root, and Horner scored them both.

As long as it's not too conventional and that the cinematic poetry Malick mastered in The Tree of Life is still on display.

Malick only makes good films when they are set in the past ( the worst part of TOL were the present day scenes)
Hoping for the best. I predict alot of dreamy flashbacks and v.o. narration by the main character ( who looks like a cross between Ben Affleck and Christian Bale)

I'm very excited about this collaboration. My favorite composer working with my favorite director is a dream come true.

I so hope this film plays on the big screen where I live.
Does anyone know yet which Dvorak work is used in this?

I wonder what Morricone thought of working with Malick on 'Days of Heaven' ?
Well they played chess together!
