Howard Shore Going There... Back Again
|
Can't Post
|
|
 Ahead of next week's performance of The Lord of the Rings Symphony in Vancouver, Canada, the guys over at The Province snagged an interview with Howard Shore and asked him about whether he'll be returning to Middle-earth to score the upcoming Hobbit films. And for fans of the outstanding music Shore's composed for The Lord of the Rings films his reply should serve to satiate sufficiently... at least until the score itself finally debuts a couple years from now.
"We've talked about making these movies for many years, at least since 2002. It looks like finally it's going to be happening. I'll be working on it for the next three years -- it's going to consume a lot of my time and work now."
Read the entire interview over at The Province.

I'm a happy hobbit.
Of course we already knew he would be back thanks to Doug Adams. But to hear it from Howard Shore himself is even better!

I was just yesterday checking out the website for the new Harry Potter soundtrack, complete with limited edition releases and all, and I literally, and I mean LITERALLY, got a chill down my spine thinking about what the soundtrack for The Hobbit, its website, its limited/regular/extended editions, etc., would be like

Howard Shore is the perfect choice and I certainly want him to score The Hobbit, but the films wouldn't be destroyed if he didn't. There are plenty of other great composers out there. John Williams comes to mind, as does Hans Zimmer.

nobody can do it like Howard Shore can. And his way is the right way. As amazing as some other composers are, they just aren't right for these movies.

Again, you are all assuming what it is only a possibility.What about the story surrounding the film soundtrack of King Kong?Didn't SPJ and Shore have some kind of fall out on that occasion?

Howard Shore and PJ had a falling out. It was more of a studio choice to get a new composer. Besides, In the interview Shore said he was coming back for the Hobbit, and we all know that Shore was probably the most reluctant of all to leave 'Middle-earth.' So he is probably one of the most excited to return.

I once said, 'It seemed like Tolkien fans ruled the world' because, when one spends time with like minded people, we feel the strength of numbers.
Most people hanging in places that discuss the LOTR tend to be skewed with people who liked Shore. And Shore fans are particularly loyal and avid.
But not everyone thinks Shore was the best choice. I've seen plenty of fans who still maintain that someone else could have done it better and/or that Shore fell short of their expectations.
So, "a LOT of us" can agree, perhaps. But not "EVERYONE". :-)

I've been waiting for some sort of confirmation on this. I was afraid that he would not be the composer. It is getting better every day.

... have a large emotional investment in the trilogy and those involved in its creation. I can see how some might view any variance from a desired path as a "falling out". I too have been wary of any issues that might deviate from the path that I would like to see The Hobbit take in its evolution.

I personally believe the LOTR soundtracks are the best in film history. I think it is very important to have connective threads to LOTR in The Hobbit, and this is the most important one other than Ian Mckellan. Great news on a thursday morning !

Shore gets more time now so he can write the score in peace... remember during ROTK he had a huge task in very little time!
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

I would be devastated if Shore would have been lost but, Zimmer would have been my number one replacement.

i think there are a lot of black metal fans who want summoning to do that soundtrack.

Seriously now, I'm afraid that too many members of the former LOTR crew might feel overconfident about making this film, mainly because of the trilogy's success.And in this case lightning never strikes twice in the same spot.Do I hear Razzie nominations?
Since the news confirmed that The Hobbit stays in NZ, I had 2 ill-fated
dreams:one in which the final product looked like a silly digital
cartoonish version of Avatar spliced with Beowulf;the second one
featured myself on The Hobbit's set while finding out that the
production was cancelled(Martin Freeman was there too) .I just can't
stop thinking that this flilm will hit the floor(is that an idiom?).
