Live-Action Movie Score?
by Mary » Sat Aug 30, 2008 12:32 am
If you were to choose what type of musical score you would like for "your" Captain Scarlet live-action movie, what would you choose? Here are your choices:
a) Modern-day popular music: speaks for itself.
b) Full orchestral soundtrack a la John Williams (Star Wars, Superman etc.)
c) Original Barry Gray: speaks for itself.
d) Barry Gray tunes ARRANGED by John Williams: witness the great job he did with the Cantina scene in the original Star Wars. The tune he created was basically a futuristic variation in the style of a Benny Goodman jazz number (complete with Lionel Hampton on the 'vibes...)
My answer would be a tossup between b) and d).

I voted for Barry Gray's music - despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of John Williams. I think he can be a bit ponderous. Still - at least he wouldn't have written it!

I'm a big fan of John Williams, but it would be a shame if the original soundtrack was not used, so I've gone for d

D. I like John Willliams's scores very much, and it would be a crying shame not to use the original Barry Gray music. Best of both worlds, as far as I'm concerned.

Anything except 'a'. I'm still traumatised from the Thunderbirds Fiasco - sorry! - movie.
