A new Harry Potter spinoff that will be "at least" a trilogy. I don't think any composer is officially attached yet.

I have a very large pure-bred Maine Coon Cat that I got from the Humane Society. You never know when and where they will show up.

How can a shelter be pure the cat was purebred? They rarely have a pedigree for their rescue animals.

They had his papers from his previous family.

Guess that'll do it. I used to pet a Maine Coone and he loved it until the static build-up got to the point where we'd be shocked.

Well, it is David Yates, so he'll probably use his composer of choice again: Nicholas Hooper

I see on IMDb that the project has been broken up into three films, with the others for 2018 and 2020.

Well Yates is using Mario Grigorov for Legend of Tarzan, so I wouldn't say that.

I imagine the studio will push for a bigger name. Desplat is possible I suppose. I'd like to see Andrew Lockington tbh.

I'd be surprised if Desplat isn't the composer.

I second this, in JOURNEY 2 mode!

Ah, no, using a guy once vs. my statement that Hooper is his regular composer of choice, is far more likely. He's been using Hooper since his very first feature length film in 1991. Before that was a short with no composer and inbetween are some TV projects with no composer listed on IMDb, one TV movie scored by Jonathan Goldsmith, and the last Potter films in which he worked with Desplat. If anything you could say Desplat has a chance (who was originally rumored for Tarzan).

I hope it's not Nicholas Hooper, can't remember a single note he wrote for his two Harry Potter movies. I think Desplat is a very likely candidate, or the Grigorov guy, depending on how his Tarzan score goes.
I know it's not gonna happen, but it would be a great David Newman score.

"God, no" to both Desplat and Hooper.

"Yes, please" to either Richard Harvey, George Fenton or Patrick Doyle.

Possibly, of course, but by all reports Hooper bowed out of the final two "Harry Potter" films by his own choosing, so it may not be something he's wanting to do.

Justin, if He was getting back together with Hooper why didn't Hooper score Tarzan? I'd be very surprised if Hooper came back to the wizarding universe.

P.S. YES to Christian's choices. And since we're just wishing anyway, let me also throw in Christopher Gordon.

Sorry to Hooper, but I've yet to hear anything from him that makes me happy he scores new films. Admittedly I've only sampled two Potter films and one documentary.

I'm absolutely tired of Desplat. Desplat oversaturation; Desplaturation.


Off hand choices, if I were choosing the FBaWtFT composer:
  • William Ross
  • Bruce Broughton
  • Bruce Babcock
    If you have the Babcock promo, you know why.

  • Cynthia Millar
    I'm thinking of her score for the 1995 film "Three Wishes". She worked with Bernstein a few times.

  • Gabriel Yared
  • Conrad Pope



    As to why Hooper didn't score Tarzan, we can only speculate. Maybe Hooper doesn't like the bigger projects. Maybe he's booked/was booked (since the Tarzan score is done and Hopper at that time was doing a movie and a TV series). Maybe the studio wanted somebody else. All I know is Yates has worked with the guy over and over again since 1991 with only breif projects without him. If you've been eating pizza since 1991 with only breif times you haven't, it's fair to say you're going to eat mroe pizza in the future.

    It's James Newton Howard!

    JNH is fully capable of writing a great fantasy score here (I saw Huntsman this week and the score was lovely) but chances are that Yates won't let him.

    Interesting. As long as he doesn't go too RC or electronic, this has the potential to be great.

    When exactly was the last time that happened?
