Really, really, really hoping for that if Romer is still attached. Coz the closest thing to a big action track Romer has done....that I've heard, is the track 'Free Of All Desire' from the Far Cry game. And the track sounds Serra-esque with a mix of Zimmer.
Interesting.
I noticed the same thing, but just assumed: perhaps Romer's not been posting on social media because he's very busy writing the score? ;)
I do find it particularly odd, in retrospect, that JBR would float such a seismic rumor with relative certainty and then not follow up. I saw they were asked again on Twitter about it and they confirmed they had nothing new to report. Good on them, and I've no doubt that's their truth -- it's just all so strange to me.
I'm certainly not one to tell anyone how to run their fan site (and I love their work!), but I'd personally want to be awfully confident before I put something like that out there. And I'd really be keen to beat the bushes and issue a follow-up or correction after the fact depending on how things progressed.
+1
There's some smoke that someone based with Remote Control Productions - if not Hans Zimmer himself - will be replacing Romer.
Hanz Himmler drove me nuts with his score for TDKR and Dunkirk, but I love his Gladiator score. He is versatile.
What about ‘Going for Gold’?
I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that Lorne Balfe is following Cary Fukunaga on Instagram........
I had to search for that. Was he 14 years old when he wrote it? I need to wash my ears.
Or more like EON and Cary going to a well established 'fixer', akin to what we've seen with Burns on script duties.
Balfe has become kinda infamous for replacing composers/doing alternate scores that are then mixed in as additional music in the final film at the last minute. Clint Mansell on Ghost in the Shell, Max Richter on Ad Astra being the big examples...
Very true...he really does replace composers these days or maybe he's Co-scoring with Romer.
Then today the site's admin who is close to Zimmer and is a renowned score world insider really really heavily hints that Romer is indeed out.
Balfe? Fallout's one of my favorite scores in the last ten years.
Wallfisch? Knockout work on BR 2049.
Junkie XL? Like Fury Road much?
Hans himself? I just couldn't even. One of the best experiences of my life was seeing HZ Live, the full orchestra show on the last tour, from the second row. It would be a weird full-circle thing for me if he ended up closing out Craig's era. And we know how much this era has already looked to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy for inspiration...
+1. Hopefully the guy who scored QoS will be asked to return.
Well now this would be maximum hype. ;)
And I like Zimmer. Seen the guy live twice. I like Lorne Balfe too, when he's been hired early enough to properly craft a score like he did with FALLOUT. But anytime he's been drafted as a replacement, he has been less successful.
Giacchino (and yes, David Arnold) would have been a better last minute choice, if that's the road we're on now.
A disappointing turn of events.
Music is the one department that really has been and appears to continute to be a giant let down for me. I'd be happy with Arnold just to see how much "pencil sharpening" he's truly capable of. I'd also be happy with a new name, as long as they're more on the leading edge of things. SP was a huge disappointment both with title song and soundtrack, but it just doesn't seem like EON feels like there ever was an issue. I'm one to buy soundtracks, and generally, I love the Bond soundtracks, but I just have the feeling this'll be another case of nothing bought.
