Rogue One soundtrack - needs better titles Author RRS-1980 Date 2, 2:57 PM Author RRS-1980 Time 2 2:57 PM (Edited) Post link This could be down to the much-discussed reshoots that Rogue One underwent, but whatever the reason, stalwart Michael Giacchino was on hand to step in and write the score in a matter of weeks.Rogue One soundtrack - needs better titles - Original Trilogy Sign In Abrams.Īfter confirming that he was going to be composing the first ever non-Williams Star Wars movie soundtrack, French composer Alexandre Desplat pulled out due to scheduling commitments.
This is very much a safe pair of hands and, if anything, a predicatable choice - Giacchino has a formidable CV of scores under his belt, and he was responsible for reinventing the sound of the rebooted Star Trek franchise (another pet project of J.J. Who is worthy to replace him and, indeed, to be the first non-John Williams composer to tackle an official Star Wars film? It's a friend and longtime collaborator of producer J.J. Alexandre Desplat was due to write the film's score (see our enthusiastic analyses below), but because of the late finishing of the final product, scheduling conflicts mean that Desplat cannot commit. So we only have the word of the Hollywood press to go on for this, but it seems like the much-discussed reshoots of the first ever non-episodic Star Wars film have thrown a spanner in the works beyond the filming schedule. Reshoots have knocked everything off course - Giacchino replaces Desplat It's probably safe to assume that Michael Giacchino's score is yet to take full shape and these themes are mere stand-ins, but still - this is a mite disappointing in musical terms: The most inventive thing we get is a ghost of Williams' Force Theme as a soprano solo, but the rest of it is basically Hans Zimmer-esque string ostinati. However, even though the brand-new trailer for Rogue One looks lovely, the music has clearly been pasted on as a bit of an afterthought. But with The Force Awakens, the trailer music was fantastic - neatly using existing Williams themes and extending them to suggest something new. Even when there aren't reshoots taking place (see below), the nature of film production means that soundtracks are often left until late in the running order.
