Well, here I am starting a central topic for Brave, since somebody already made one for Monsters University. Lets Wait in anxiety together.

And I think that is all. PLEASE, PLEASE PM if I missed anything. Iām going cold turkey (lol Iām vegetarian though) on this, and I havenāt watched any trailer after the first one.
Thomas, Randy or Giacchino, remember that One Man Band was scored by Michael and he did an awesome job, as always, note that Mark Andrews (One Man Band, Brave) has already worked with him
i remember a while ago there were some rumors that john powell was doing the score and then it was rumored giacchino was doing it and now i have no clue.
Giacchino needs a break after Cars 2, Super 8, Mission Impossible IV, Star Trek 2 and John Carter, but if he scores Brave I would be fine and glad for it
Ooh, yeah, John Powell would be awesome. I do like Giacchino but, looking at the tone of what Iāve seen, that the film is supossed to be quite gritty, I think it has to be Thomas Newman, John Powell, or perhaps Danny Elfman.
You have to bear in mind the films tone, and the three composers mentioned have very distinctive styles that Iām just saying might go very well stylistically.
ETA: Well, apparantly Paddy Doyle is doing it, but Iām not sure if the link is legit: filmmusicreporter.com/2011/03/30 ā¦ -the-apes/
does anyone remember when it was reported that U2 was doing some sort of music with Brave? I mean, it might just be like a credits song or something, although they did cross-over in the scoring things with Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
It wasnāt officially reported by Pixar that U2 was doing a song. Bono did visit Pixar. We donāt know if it was just a visit, or he was recording a song.
Powell recently scored Mars Needs Moms and his next projects are Rio, Kung Fu Panda 2 and Happy Feet 2, I doubt pixar choose him (he has work with DW for a long time),
as side note: Powellās most brilliant work has been on Face Offā¦
SoA: I know what you mean, but as versatile as Giacchino is, I believe that different composers are suited to different films. I mean, John Williams scoring Spirited Away, for example? Yes, heās a great composer, but Joe Hiaishai puts his own mark on it that no other composer could replicate. And favourites are subjective. Giacchino isnāt my favourite Pixar composer (although he is fantastic), and Iād personally like some variety, as eje was saying
Oh, and I do hope Bono does do the song! I love U2! (And, OT, but I saw Killing Bono the other day and thought it was awesome ^__^).
What about David Horner? He does some pretty good scores for āold world moviesā like The New World, Troy and Land Before Time. And of course, Avatar.
Or Hans Zimmer? Last Samurai, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator?
Not trying to diss the megastars, they really have talent, and it shows. But as other members here have said, Pixar (and other studios as well) should really diversify and try other composers instead of falling back on just one or two old-timers. The movie industry really only has five or so composers who do pretty much all the soundtracks for the blockbusters. And Iām pretty sure thatās not the only amount of talented composers in the entire world at the moment.
