Soundtrack Speculation (Composer, Songs, Godzilla Theme)

[Drewzilla]

I want to hear the classic Godzilla theme in the form of an Epic Choir, example being this.

[XxComablack1937xX]

They need to have Godzilla's theme in this movie damn it.

With that said, i thought this was cool someone playing Godzilla's theme on piano. Sounds pretty good to me.

I don't really care if they use the Toho songs or not. It's not a Toho movie. So... No, they don't need it in the film. If they use it, fine, if they don't, fine. I just want good music that fits the movie.

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, have John Williams do it.

Don't expect it, but it's a dream.

I think Michael Giacchino is a terrific choice for this movie, because of this:

It pays great homage to Ifukube while adding new things.

My other top picks would be Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and Craig Armstrong.

I agree that Giacchino would be great for this movie, however I think that he will be an unlikely choice. Artists like variety, and I doubt Giacchino would want to score another giant monster film, which would ultimatley just be compared to his previous work.

What about John Debney (End of Days, The Scorpion King, Predators, Iron Man 2)?

[Gorosaurus Rex]

I was underwhelmed by those scores. I actually like the guy who did the first Iron Man though.

[DaikaijuSokogeki!]

I LOVED Ramin Djawadi's Iron Man score and felt the sequel sorely missed him. Him or Hans Zimmer are my top choices. As for hopeless fan dreams? Kenji Kawai would create an amazing Godzilla soundtrack, just listen to his score for Ultraman Nexus to see what I mean.

[GodzillaIsCool]

The movie has to have a Classical Score throughout with out question. Whatever they do for music outside the movie to create revenue doesn't matter to me.

If they add a little new age to the score, that's fine as long as it doesn't sound like a shitty rock/rap song I'm fine.

[TokyoVigilante]

I see nothing wrong with a little electronic in the score. Note the GMK title theme for how awesome that can be.

I would still prefer an orchestralscore. If it fits the tone then sure. But overall I dont think that electronic works for Godzilla.

[TokyoVigilante]

Electronic has an absurdly vast range, just by it's nature. I'm not talking a full industrial/electronic score, I mean a blend of those two. Electronic can give you something really cold, modern, harsh, powerful and distinctly atmospheric.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

I know. I'm not dissing the genre. For example, it worked really well in The Social Network, and looks to do the same in Tron: Legacy. However, I'm not sure if it would fit Godzilla. Would I open some atypical score for this film? Certainly, but only if it fits the story the film wishes to take.

Well said. I think Godzilla needs a classical score, and electronic moments could work, but only if done well, and PLEASE PLEASE no rock/metal/rap bullshit. I love me some metal but please, just no.

Godzilla needs a powerful score that will make things all the more epic.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

Steve Jablonsky would be nice too to be honest. I really liked his score for the first Transformers.

[G-Man1989]

Kenji Kawaii would be an awesome choice! Hopefully, Legendary will consider doing the unthinkable in Hollywood and get some Japanese guys who are familiar with the genre to really make it as good as possible.

[tokyostateofmind]

I want something along the lines of this: http://snd.sc/aJJXyD with a little electric guitar (ala Zimmer) and choir. All wrapped up in Hollywood Goodness!

[Tyler]

All wrapped up in Hollywood Goodness!

It exists??

[Starfishman]

This is a long shot but I'm gonna have to say....get John Ottman for the score. His scores for X-Men 2, Usual Suspects & Superman Returns were great.
