If there was a LOTR and TH remake; who should do the soundtracks?

Ereinion Nénharma Lorien Nov 9 2012, 2:16pm Views: 661 If there was a LOTR and TH remake; who should do the soundtracks? So imagine, that both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies were remade; who would you want to be assigned for making the soundtracks? Obviously Howard Shore has done a terrific job so far, so this is in no way meant as critique towards him! But, what artist(s) do you think would be able to make a fantastic soundtrack for these movies too? I think 'Two Steps From Hell' would do a terrific job, at least for the music related to the battles and wars. Your thoughts? ''Do not fear the shadows, for seeing them means light is near...''

imin Valinor Nov 9 2012, 3:40pm Views: 416 Like them I could swear i have heard them before though for trailers/adverts. I particularly like protectors of the earth and black blade. Though it did make me go and listen to voodoo people - prodigy (pendulum remix) and then that took me to disturbed - land of confusion and down with the sickness and then ultimately lamb of god - laid to rest. The first 50 seconds of down with the sickness by disturbed is perfect for a battle/war i think. They are not very middle earthy but for a battle i think you want something angry and intense, or epic like two steps from hell are. My imagination always runs away with me on those tracks above, makes you feel invincible (or indestructible as disturbed would say )

Flame of Udun Rivendell Nov 9 2012, 4:06pm Views: 438 I agree with the battle sequences 2 Steps from Hell would be able to do a fantastic job regarding the battle aspect or certain death scenes. I've been addicted to the song immortals for the past couple days :D "'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!' Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face. 'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand. What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.''

Sam20 Lorien Nov 9 2012, 5:22pm Views: 440 Soundtrack remake It's hard for me to tell for I do not know much film music composer. But surely a John Williams or a Han Zimmer of this world can do something pretty good, no? (This post was edited by sam90 on Nov 9 2012, 5:23pm)

Ruxendil_Thoorg Tol Eressea Nov 10 2012, 3:47am Views: 452 Karl Jenkins a/k/a Adiemus   I get a strong Middle Earth vibe from this Welsh composer. I've thought so, and have said so, for years. Here are three pieces of his: Adiemus In Caelum Fero Cu Chullain A bag is like a hole that you can carry with you. http://newboards.theonering.net/...forum_view_expanded;

Ring-Bearer Rivendell Nov 11 2012, 1:27am Views: 384 Well, if we absolutely had to choose another... John Williams did a fantastic job with other action movies (such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones), and, though he may not do justice to the landscapes that Howard Shore illustrated in his work, Mr. Williams has been very successful in creating emotional and epic scores. 'What are we holding on to, Sam?' 'There's good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!' 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!'

Ring-Bearer Rivendell Nov 11 2012, 1:30am Views: 400 But who in their right mind would try to remake these masterpieces? And anyways, you need people of intelligence for this sort of mission... quest... thing. 'What are we holding on to, Sam?' 'There's good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!' 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!'

Shelob'sAppetite Valinor Nov 11 2012, 2:27am Views: 408 They wouldn't be remaking the films, though They would be re-interpreting the books, which is the source material. I hope it is done 20-30 years from now, at the latest. I am frankly a bit tired of PJ's (and New Zealand's) stranglehold on Middle Earth! Let's see another director, in another location(s), give it a shot before we expire!

Shelob'sAppetite Valinor Nov 11 2012, 2:28am Views: 360 And hopefully It would be someone who wouldn't include a line like that in the script.

Ring-Bearer Rivendell Nov 11 2012, 10:34pm Views: 355 Ennio would be a good one Or maybe Klaus Badelt? 'What are we holding on to, Sam?' 'There's good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!' 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!'

alienorchid Lorien Nov 12 2012, 11:25am Views: 367 I would love to see a new interpretation! I'm from NZ and I absolutely love PJ's LOTR but I would still love to see a new take on it in a different part of the wolrd. That is part of the beauty of the books - they can be applicable to anywhere in the world.
