This is a good point. I actually didn't realize this until you mentioned.

#58. Our first clue about casting.

Added in 8 hours 4 minutes 19 seconds:
John Dickenson, who was just added above, has a few neat Godzilla sketches from the first film on his site. It takes a little digging from how its' formatted, but there's a neat one of the skeleton cave.

Still too early for composer announcements if you ask me. That said I wouldn't mind John Powell. I like his Bourne scores fairly well. Still I don't know if he's ever done anything for a film of this scale before.

Added in 5 minutes 48 seconds:
From what I just read it seems Powell and Gregson-Williams have collaborated a lot in the past. They both do a lot of work under Hans Zimmer. That does lend some credence to this news. Still it's way to early to tell. Composers usually aren't announced until after filming is already completed.

I'm with you on this, I agree with NSZ's assessment. This is the best info we have atm since who can get behind the scenes? And today's update is no different.

Junkie XL was supposedly involved according to the page last year.

I'm going to wait for an official announcement before putting any stock into what IMDB says.

Maybe Zimmer, Tyler, Giacchino, Desplat, or Pipes will be the composer now. Henry Jackman could work too.

Apparently, we will be getting a pupper/doggo in this film.
Well, that's certainly a thing.

I want at least one or two classic Godzilla scores redone for this movie. That's not too much to ask.

It's exactly true. We don't know anybody in charge of musical decisions so far, only as yet unconfirmed bits that Gavin Greenaway and Harry-Gregson Williams will work as conductors.

I took it as you were saying it depended on the set designer you listed. Lol.

If what people have said is true, that Legendary/WB look at message boards, comment sections on articles about their films, Facebook, etc., then I dot think it would be a bad idea to make it known we (at least I think most fans) would like some of the classical scores included in the movie, even if shoehorned in.

I only vaguely remember something about the "we look at the boards" thing. I wanna say Gareth Edwards said that, I don't imagine Legendary's corporate folks would use their time that way.
