I saw on iMDb that Harold Kloser and another composer are listed for the music credit. Does anyone know why David Arnold is not returning? His score was iconic!

The director has been using Kloser/Wanker for years now. I'm guessing either Arnold wasn't asked or Arnold wasn't interested.
The "other" composer is Thomas Wanker, AKA: Thomas Wander, whose claim to fame is seasons five and six (except two or three episodes) of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

His real last name is Wander? Did he change it to Wanker when he learned he was being given ID4-2 over David Arnold?
(I kid, I kid...and no, I'm not above snatching low-hanging fruit)

I've often wondered if there was lingering friction over Arnold being passed over for The Patriot way back when.
I'm told that is very long story, but the bottomline is that SONY PICTURES didn't want to pay the creative fee that was being asked for him to do the film.
As one story goes the head of music at the time had lunch with John Williams who was available due to a project being delayed that he was supposed to do and was available and was interested in the project.
The Studio felt that if they had to pay for any one JOHN WILLIAMS was worth paying more for.
Whatever the case,They had a falling out and the director and Mr. Arnold have not worked together since then.
It happens.

David Arnold has said several times over the years that he would score a sequel if asked to, but confirmed on his Twitter account that he was never asked. All he could say was that since Fox owns the themes he wrote, Kloser and Wanker could use them if they wanted to.
I hope they utilize the thematic material. Nothing irritates me more than sequel scores that ignore thematic continuity.

Very disappointing if this is the case - when I think of that movie, I think of David Arnold's score.
At least I'm lucky to have been in the audience with David conducting the end credits in concerts a couple of times now.

Did they at least get Randy Quaid back?
I don't think anyone's going to be able to get Randy Quaid back...
Oh I'm sorry, did you mean back for ID:R or back to reality?
