Any news on this Hybrid? While the movie marketing is in full swing, news on the score front is pretty much non existent. Here's hoping Balfe's brought his A-game to this (like Ironclad) because the movie looks other worldly in terms of propulsive action set pieces.
Hey, everybody! Did you hear the news? Check this out: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=962210980613161& id=138474459653488

Ha ha! Yes again and again ! This is excellent news

Damn I was hoping Zimmer, Giacchino or Kraemer would do this.

I'm sure the Balfe brigade will still find some way to tar and feather me for this, but I think he could do a decent job here. After all, you can't just write a generic action score for Mission Impossible. It has to have that throwback espionage feel, the suaveness, the sense of cool, and I think Balfe will do okay with that - look at Penguins of Madagascar. I just hope he gets to use a real orchestra for once (no excuse not to on a film of this type and size), and that he doesn't ignore Lalo Schifrin's theme.
I'd still rather have had Kraemer back considering the excellent job he did on Ghost Protocol (and the fact he never gets any assignments otherwise) but Balfe could do well here.

I think we may be surprised with this one, guys. Tom Cruise and JJ Abrams both are into melodic sounding scores, amd when Lorne is allowed to go all out melodic on us he creates perfection (ie: LEGO Batman, Home, parts of Geostorm, his contributions to kung fu panda and Sherlock)... I do hope he has somewhat of a throwback sound from it, but I also want that signature RCP sound too! Not gonna lie this is good news for me.

I feel like the only way I could be excited about this would be if they adopted the sound of M:I-2, which I find very unlikely. Primarily because the sound is very dated, but also because Fallout is likely to be a more serious movie than II ever will be. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic, especially if it was true that he did the trailer music.
And it was Rogue Nation that Kraemer worked on, not Ghost Protocol.

I agree with Edmund for the most part, except that JJ Abrams usually works with Giacchino, and Cruise's recent productions include Jack Reacher 2 and Edge of Tomorrow. So I wouldnt exactly take a melodic or thematic score for granted... That being said, at this point I expect something like Penguins, but I secretely hope for something really amazing and surprising that would explain why McQuarrie broke up with Kraemer.
...
2018-04-20 11:21:34
I hope Balfe delivers but he has not done a score that I really listen to more than once so I hope this will be it.
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-20 12:41:49
Ds, am I reading that correctly that you're using the fact that JJ works with Giacchino as evidence that the score might *not* be melodic or thematic? Because say what you want about Giacchino (and I'm far from his biggest fan either), it's an objective fact that he writes film music that is almost exclusively thematic/melodic. Whether you like those themes and melodies is another question, but they are undeniably themes and melodies.
Ds
2018-04-20 14:10:45
For me, a theme is a distinguishable motif or piece of music that is related to a specific location, event or most commonly character, and that the viewer notices as such. If your score contains 20 themes that are never repeated in a similar form and are so uncharacteristic that they all sound the same, I'm just calling that orchestra noise. And I don't see any appeal in that kind of scoring...
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-20 15:06:29
I mean sure, but I can't think of many Giacchino scores that actually match that description. The Star Trek reboot scores for example, where he has a (pretty good) main theme that he plays the same way roughly sixteen thousand times over and over again. :p
JBSO99
2018-04-20 21:10:44
I don't think you have listened to the Star Trek scores properly. Giacchino has a main theme that he uses a lot, but also a theme for Spock, themes for the bad guys of each movie and even a theme for the city of Yorktown in the third movie.
Another great example of this is LOST, where almost all the characters had a theme that played through all the series and there were also themes for locations or even situations.
So I don't think Giacchino is out of the use of themes.
Ds
2018-04-21 01:12:05
Well maybe you guys are right, to be honest i never cared much about this composer. All i know is that i almost never noticed any kind of theme when watching movies scored by him, while usually I'm the kind of audience who pays attention to the music. It can be that his way of writing or orchestrating or mixing doesnt match with my own taste, that's a possibility. Anyway I still maintain that none of his scores or themes has become a "classic", despite the ridiculous amount of major blockbusters he had the chance to score so far...
JBSO99
2018-04-21 11:36:36
Well, I guess that is a matter of tastes and opinion, because for me scores like The Incredibles or Up, for saying some examples, are classics inside the animation field.
But is fine. We have our own preferences and that's okay.
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-22 17:34:19
Yeah, I know there's more than just the main theme in those Trek scores, I was just exaggerating to make a point. :p

Varese, Milan and Sony were the best in the 90's. Now, Intrada y La La Land Records are the best
By the way, Film Score Montly deserves a special mention

@ScoreFan I'm agree with you about Verese, Milan and Sony were the best in the 90's plus with action movies. I'm really liking when Intrada and La La Land Records released expanded or complete score. Yup, I'm agree with you about Film Score Monthly.

Don't forget about MovieScore Media. They do a great job releasing more obscure scores that would otherwise not be available.

@Edmund, agree with you. Not only MovieScore Media, also Quartet Records.

Hey Edmund! It's another spam clone of a Balfe fanboy here to study you and pinpoint your weaknesses so they can all team up together to destroy your mind with their extreme stupidity!
(I'm not even joking, these guys only focus on Edmund. It's really disturbing!)
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-13 10:22:07
Wow, they're even going over to Filmtracks now and mining my comments from there. That's really pathetic.
Besides, that comment was purely in reference to the fact that whenever a composer gets replaced these days, it's almost always by Balfe. No quality judgment whatsoever.

(Maybe if I speak in their language they'll shut up.)
Think there’s any outside chance Hans is doing this one? Hybrid mentioned on the Film Score Monthly forum that he knows it’s not Brian Tyler, and he’s been mum on anything on this site. Hans also mentioned in the latest video on the news page here that he was working on something he couldn’t discuss yet, if I remember correctly... but that could technically be anything..
With X Men being pushed back and lion king not coming out til next year, Hans seemingly has nothing scheduled for 2018... and Kraemer was never even asked back, he was notified that he would not be asked to return to the franchise, which could possibly indicate that the studio got someone bigger that they couldn’t say no to. I’m not claiming to know anything at all... in fact I’m probably completely wrong haha.. but it sure would be awesome to get another Hans score for this franchise.
Bondo
2018-04-06 05:46:55
Yeah, I think there's a good chance HZ will score this one. In fact, I think it'd be cool if he reunited with that female singer he worked with on last year's Gladiator! Either way, John Woo is attached to direct, so it should be pretty badass.
;)
Randy Watson
2018-04-08 11:13:21
Well, John Powell scored Woo's last film and his star his rising so maybe he'll get the job.
I just hope they won't do something foolish and let some flavor of the month, like Limb Bizkit perhaps, ruin the theme.
Bondo
2018-04-08 21:15:38
Randy, I honestly don't see them going in that direction. I'm not even sure a rock vibe would work for this film! Woo will probably want to stick with something similar to Elfman's work on the last film, something more traditional.
...
2018-04-08 21:37:29
Maguire who directed the 5th movie is directing MI6, not woo
Bondo
2018-04-08 21:53:12
Not to be confused with Christopher McQuarrie, who definitely did not direct MI5.
...
2018-04-08 23:10:57
Sorry, I Misspelled Christopher McQuarrie. He did definitively direct MI5 and he's doing MI6.
Olive
2018-04-09 01:52:42
It is likely that they have no composer and only work with tracks already recorded such as in the Tarantino films.
There must be a composer and this guy is someone "minor" in the business.If it was Zimmer or Kraemer, they would have already released the information.
George
2018-04-09 01:59:31
I doubt it, Olive. La La Land posted on a Film Score Monthly forum that “they know something we don’t know...” and I’m assuming that it’s a major hire... and for whatever reason they’re keeping it a secret. I’m not gonna lie I have begun to think it really might be Hans.
mpolonest123
2018-04-09 02:33:08
I would be fascinated with Zimmer returning ONLY if he sticks to the more traditional, orchestral approach that Kraemer did for the last one. Or any composer for that matter. Personally I would like to hear something along the lines of Kingsman, bold and adventerous.
It’s funny that, outside of portions of Megamind, we’ve never really had Zimmer in that classic “James Bond” esque style of scoring mode, unless there is something I’m forgetting.
Oh, no! Why is a credit for Gavin Greenaway is deleted? He's arranged and conducted the choir on this!
Edmund Meinerts
2017-02-14 12:36:12
Again, he is credited. You just have to click "see details" to see everything.

I mean, not in the booklet credits. It's all clean for me. I mean, in discography and filmography of mr. Greenaway.
Michael Poleschuck
2017-02-14 13:32:35
I haven't even seen the photo of Mr. Greenaway on page of the album. While the photos of Zimmer, Badelt, Glennie-Smith, Tillman and many-many others - there are all here.
I might be criticized for this one, but am I the only one who thinks Injection would be a cooler track without Lisa Gerrard's vocals? She really worked with Gladiator, but here I thought not so much. Either way, it's a fantastic piece of music.
And by the way, great seeing "How To Train Your Dragon 2: Music by John Powell" under "Coming Soon". His first score was spectacular. :D

Run Him Over from Pain & Gain is pretty much Injection without Lisa Gerrard's vocals. I personally like Injection the way it is though. It would be interesting to listen to it without the vocals though.
Did Heitor Pereira do anything on this score? Because one Youtube user uploaded a lot of these tracks and most if not all said "###" with the track titles.

Oh nevermind I guess...the details say he was part of the Mission Impossible Band.
All we need to know are the full name of the tracks for 2m13, 2m16-17, 3m18, 4m24A-B, 4m25A-B and the unknown names for 2m10, 3m20, 3m27, and 5m29-30.

NOT complete. At least four cues are missing.
Also most cue names were made-up by garage. The real cue names are different.
Way to go...

This is just an expanded score many film versions are missing here for example shootout is the same as the album version, the film version has a different tone in the voice of lisa gerard just check it
