G2014: Composer

[XvGojira]

[Gman2887]

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Know what I'd like to see? Michiru Oshima's Godzilla theme

Not likely. But I do like her Godzilla theme a lot.

[TerranigmaFreak]

[XvGojira]

[DannyBeane]

I want Masaru Sato's themes from G vs The Sea Monster or G vs Mechagodzilla to come back. I think those are my favorite tunes from the whole godzilla series

[Henry88]

have we got any comments from this guy yet.

[Gman2887]

No, but I don't see why we should expect any.

[Ernesth100]

I want a theme that feels powerful like the Final Wars theme, and one that feels like rage such as the GMK Theme.

[Destroysall]

What I really want is something like this!!

[Russzilla]

[Hybrid Gojira]

Of Desplat's music that I've heard, I think he is a pretty good choice. His pieces can be filled with tons of emotion (if LPs Godzilla is to be close to Gojira, you need that) and you also have stuff like this -



I really like it, especially the beginning.

[MekaGojira3k]

I rather liked that ^

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Right there is something closer in tune with the Return of Godzilla score. I like it, and if that's what Desplat's score is capable of, I'd be pleased to the utmost degree

I'd be nice if we get a nice military march out of it though

[XvGojira]

Okay that clip really made me happy. As much as I would have loved Giacchino, I now know he's probably not the right fit. Can't wait to hear his take on Godzilla.

I can't even remember what the GMK theme was.

[Gman2887]

Really? It was practically played every 3 minutes in the movie. I don't want anything like it for the new film, but as a huge Ko Otani fan I quite loved it.

[msweets13]

I remember people absolutely adoring the GMK soundtrack right after it was released, though I have never been a big fan of Ko Otani and his synth-y style. I'm much more of an all orchestral guy. (Though I really liked his score for Shadow of the Colossus). Needless to say I actually how Alexandre Desplat uses the synth as an accent to compliment the orchestra. Very excited to hear what he has in store for the big G.

[Gman2887]

I figure the synth factor is probably what turns some people off. I enjoy a good round of electronic music however. GMK was a wonderful example of it and it really fit with the '80s horror vibe the movie was carrying. I always hoped Otani would come back because I felt his score was one of the most successfully unique of the series. It edges out Oshima's for me because, while her pieces were brilliant, they also felt far too familiar-- sometimes even dated. I suppose considering the movies she scored retread was part of the theme going on.

Final Wars on the other hand...

[jellydonut25]

Listened to some of those Desplat tracks...has me rather excited about him.

Though I wonder about his ability to create a really effective hook, I already have all the confidence in the world that the soundtrack will REALLY enhance the mood.
