Getting some Suicide Squad vibes from this one...

[NilsFLindberg]

I'm hoping Giacchino will take over once Williams passes away. Their styles are very similar and Giacchino is extremely talented.

[PAXperMortem]

I don't like where this is going.

[bowser]

A 30 second advert for a 50 second video and you wonder why people turn to addblock.

[nathanc.]

Let's hope this is a World War Z and not a Suicide Squad.

Why are people so paranoid reshoots? it literally just means they had to redo something because something wasn't done right the first time. Chances are, it wasn't the story, or maybe the mood of the scene didn't feel right. I just don't get the subsequent paranoia following reshoots.

I hope star wars doesn't become the COD of movies. You know, with the yearly releases and all

[mikewalters]

Multiple signs are starting to point to this film being a mess. :/

[Seaz]

Gee, I hope the movies at least decent.

[Guernicaman]

Giacchino is a far better composer, IMO. He's like a younger version of John Williams. First time I heard his music was in the Lost World video game for the original PlayStation & Sega Saturn, argually one of the best parts from the game. Perhaps this replacement was all for the best.

[MrGuso]

I always get nervous when there's "extensive reshoots"

[davarman]

WHAT? How is John Williams not doing it in the first place??!?

[DonaldJPump]

Medal of Honor: Frontline has one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.

[Jixaw]

Seriously?! 3 months before it comes out? Are scores normally done this late?

[andymc]

vague post ign. He was replaced because of scheduling conflicts, the re shoots pushed back the time he would of worked on the score and already had other commitments.

[ki-seonpeck]

Guys, Marvel does ALOT of reshoots, which is from Disney. I think Disney can do reshoots well.

[beazles]

I dont understand why they can't have John Williams? He's the best and composed the original score for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, ET, Jaws, etc.
Like... can they not afford him? Or are they trying to be more hipster and detached from the Star Wars traditions?

[graytlo]

Well let's see. Harry Potter has been a reused score since the beginning, so Deathly Hallows didn't bring much new to the table. While the Incredibles score is one of the most iconic of all time in my book. I can pick it out anywhere. So he won't really be missed. This new guy will knock it out of the park!

[Jojuiced]

Should of gone to Michael Giacchino in the first place he's a worthy successor to John Williams

[queelude]

they decided to change Forest Whitaker's hairdo once this time it's a jerry curl.... and the old tune did not fit the new 80s vibe of the new look.
