I always knew Alan Silvestri was a long shot, but I also really liked what other composers of Predator movies like Brian Tyler, John Debney, Henry Jackman etc. did with the scores for their respective films. I've played some of the games Sarah Schachner has worked on, but mostly so long ago that I can't recall anything of their music.
Regardless, here's hoping she's done a good job on this and we're in for another great Predator score!
I also hope they don't end up going "full Mandalorian/Obi-Wan" and completely ditching any and all existing themes (with one or two exceptions) in favour of 100% new stuff. I totally get why The Mandalorian went that route, and for the vast majority of the time it was absolutely the right choice, but watching Obi-Wan has definitely made me think "are we really not going to use that certain theme here? Really?"
So fingers crossed we get some new stuff that's evocative of the classic Predator scores of the past while also not overdoing it, maybe working up to only one or two uses of the main theme at key moments that have been built to after not having hear it at any point throughout the rest of the film.
Either way, like the rest of the film itself, I'm looking forward to it!
