Composer John Debney has just been announced as the man behind the score of Predators:
“The movie is set to open this July and follows Iron Man 2 as another high profile summer movie for the busy composer. The announcement ends speculation that Alan Silvestri might return to the franchise, as the movie is a direct sequel to the orginal Predator movie that Silvestri has scored in 1987.”
He has done quite a bit of work and has a vast list of movies behind him, including the Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City. You can check out his IMDB profile. Thanks Johnny Handsome for the news.
Obviously it would have been better to have Silvestri. The guy set the standard for the series.
But Debney is pretty good in his own right. He has done some good action adventure films and I think he will do fine.
I personally quite like his music for "The Scorpion king" even though the film was pretty bad!
I'm pretty sure you gonna love it guys!
I hope that the composer makes some mix from the original movie, and he makes a new one too.
This is, by far, the most important news we've had yet. We now know the emotional tone this could take.
serious what is the problem ? why cant they just get alan silvestri??? what the hell is the problem? oh i know why..... because alan silvestri is expensive (but worth it) and john debney is just in there budget
It doesn't sound very Predator to me.. I'm sorry.
Watch End of Days and see how impressive the music is. I think Debney could do a superb job simply with his own stuff, and if he uses the original Predator motifs it'll simply be the icing on the cake.
It was a mediocre score,not to mention the fact that some of it was ripped from Alien:Resurrection.
Rodriguez has said he wanted his film to have NOTHING to do with Aliens vs Predator, given the harsh receptions which the AvP films have garnered and he's said that he was ignoring Predator 2, AvP, and AvP-R.
He's actually gone as far not to use ADI, even though they are contractually attached to doing Alien, Predator and AvP films, he's dodged using Ian Whyte, and now Tyler..
Fans wanted Silvestri, but, I don't know.. we'll see.
One thing about Brian Tyler is that he does awesome scores. He's used themes from Alien, Aliens, Alien Resurrection and Predator in the AVP-R soundtrack and made the music quite epic. Even if the movie was less than well recieved.
He also did a good job on the Dragonball movie soundtrack.
the avp movies have done the nods to the past movies, lets do something new, exciting, bold and different. have to wait and see how this film turns out.
