Speaking of which, I really have to see that film again. One of my all time favourites, with an incredible cast and out of this world cinematography. Just wonderful.
None of the above. But I'd take Zimmer first. Giacchino has stretched himself over too many franchises. His style is beginning to lose its punch.
I'd say the opposite were true. Zimmer practically composes everything these days. His style is stale and boring. Nearly every score he does today sounds the same with minor alterations. Giacchino's earned a Bond film. He should do one for his work on The Incredibles alone.
- Thomas Newman
- Murray Gold
- Joe Kraemer
- Alexandre Desplat
- Fernando Velázquez
You might not know this last one. Here a few examples of what he's capable of:
I like the rest of them, especially Desplat (I think he would be perfect).
I was surprised at how many films he had scored and how versatile he is. I heard a lot of the tracks at his concert for the first time and they were all impressive.
When I saw the first trailer for Kingsman 2 and heard his theme play again I realized he had created something potentially iconic for that franchise. Something which is instantly recognizable. That's impressive. It's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to the film.

@DaltonCraig007, I'm due for a rewatch of Collateral again soon and will listen out for Pinto's sound. The clips you posted are quite distinctive and melodic but also a bit mellow so it's difficult for me to opine yet.
The only time I remember it of late was in Chimera (in SF) and in the Zimmer-esque sound when Bond grabs the elevator in SF and when Madeleine shoots Hinx in SP.

Elliot Goldenthal would be an interesting choice, as well.
X-Men First Class is thus far the only Jackman score I´d endorse in its full.
The perfect summary of Kilar's style. That track you posted reflects it perfectly; two chords and a single phrase on top of it, that is gradually overlaid with transposed versions of itself. That's all it takes.
I also enjoy the film of Death and the Maiden very much. Makes me wish we'd see more of Stuart Wilson these days. He didn't care for the movie, but he was very good in it, playing the least showy, most complicated character.
Been saying it for the longest time. People were praising Zimmer for that clock ticking....yeah Djwadi was doing that long before that. Listen to tracks like hardhome part 1. The guy knows how to do escapism wonderment, melodies that don't sound like elevator music or action sequences more befitting of Tom and Jerry cartoons. He knows how to deliver on the quieter moments, moments of suspense and tension build up, sadness and loss; moments of absolute triumph and all out action.
Tracks like, Against all odds, Dance of dragons, feed the hounds, Bastard, blood of my blood, light of the seven, hear me roar, the winds of winter...the list is endless. Plus he knows how to incorporate his main themes and weave them into new melodies without it being some lazy; half arsed copy and paste job. We'd be incredibly fortunate to have him.
It s been mentioned and it would be a dream come true.
EDIT: Or for something really memorable, get Lalo Schifrin, if he's still working. I'm sure he'll come up with a killer theme.
