    Tried watching the first MM film. Hated it. Now way I would watch another.


    The first is very enjoyable, albeit a bit crude. The second film is really the best - raw and uncomprimising and with terrific atmosphere. The third is an epic, over-the-top extravaganza with certain flaws, but still fun.

    Nah. Once you watch 30 minutes, you've seen it all. Reall, you can cut it down to a 30 minute presentation. Why would anybody want to see a film over 30 minutes long?


    Beats me! You then have all the more time to do other things! biggrin


    Not if you spend that time beating the same dead horse about 30 minute CDs, needlessly in random threads...

  9. Director George Miller is already in production of a 4th MAd Max film ("Fury Road").

    With Jarre's passing, it makes one wonder who will compose. The last three composers he worked with: John Powell, Nigel Westlake, and Carl Vine. With Powell booked up on films, including likely to do the sequel animated film Miller is making, I'd rule him out.

    Personally, I'd like to see Jarre's son given a shot.

    I assume you're talking about Jean Michel, not screenwriter Kevin Jarre. I'm not so sure about that, to be honest. First of all, JM doesn't really like to do film scores, in part because he doesn't want his work to be compared unfavourably to his father's. Second, his musical style sounds nothing like Maurice's (not even Maurice's shoddy synth scores).

    I remember when this film was previously put in production (several years ago) Powell was actually announced as the composer. I have no idea if this film being made now is the same one that was abandoned then.

  13. Carl Vine would be an interesting choice. But I think, with the exception of the one potential project that he's keen to do, filmmakers might have seen the last of him. He gets the commissions he needs, and doesn't need to write music for people who have no feel for it.

    Me neither. I'm a big fan of JMJ - particularly his earlier material - but his only film score I've come across (Les Granges Brulées) is completely unlistenable.

    I wouldn't call it unlistenable. It's got many nice tracks, even though as a pre-OXYGENE 1973 effort, it's pretty crude. However, "Zig-zag" is insanely annoying, I'll give you that. He's done a couple of more film/TV projects too (not counting the many appearances of his album music in various films), but none of them have been commercially released.

    The use of Oxygene in Peter Weir's 1981 film Gallipoli springs to mind. An incredibly anachronistic choice by Weir in an otherwise very good film, the first time I watched it my reaction was eh??? It nearly ruins the film.

    I haven't seen that film, so I don't know, but there have been some very effective uses of Jarre's music in other films, like "Ethnicolor" in SOMETHING WILD.

    Gallipoli is a very good film Thor, well worth your time watching ( and an early film of Mel Gibson ) but I suspect you would agree with me on Weir's choice of JMJ's music and to the scene it accompanies, it took me out of the film.

    You wouldn't know it. It's something an old producer friend of his is trying get funding for. A TV miniseries. Nothing big.

    Mind you, if George Miller knocked on his door with a million dollars, it might change his mind. But BOOK OF REVELATION (of all films!) was the straw that broke the camel's back.

  23. Usual thing.

    Mar: "We really want you to make the music of this film. Only your music can make it work."
    Jun: "Can you give it another go? Maybe make it more different to what it is now?"
    Sep: "Actually, can you try making it like the temp. We really like TAXI DRIVER at the moment. It's working for this film in a way we can't explain."
    Dec: "You're being really difficult about this. Maybe you should just take a hint and leave. We'd love to work together again sometime though."
    The day after: Someone else hired to score the film. Gets it right first go.

    IMHO, that Silva re-recording is lifeless. This NEW recording should offer superior sonics and an orchestra that has really come a long way from their disastrous early film music recordings. If you just listen to their latest output for Taldow alone (Exodus, El Cid, etc) then you can see why getting the new LEWRENCE recording would be nothing but essential!
