@Scorefan: You know what "Motion" means right? Motion picture = moving picture = movie. U either call it "Original Movie Score" or "Original Score from the Movie" or u call it "Original Motion Picture Score". But u can't say "Movie Picture" lol. Its just wrong or like Macejko said.. "a retarded mistake" ;-)@Maho: Dude I know why its stated "Score", but thats NOT the issue. What I'm talking about here is "Movie" which should be called "Motion".If you are interested, here is an interview with Otomo https://www.japantimes.co.jp /culture/2004/07/14/ films/film-reviews /the-master-behind-the-otaku/#.Xiix-P4zbctI like to make you in positive way aware of that "Time" has been blended with Charlie Chaplin's message to humanity (The Great Dictator) and thoughful added images in a video on youtube. If it is blocked due to disturbing pictures, please use a proxy to see it.But there is still a chances. Steve was suggested to Otomo by music supervisor Keiichi Momose and in an interview Katsuhiro mention that he really liked Jablonsky's work on Steamboy.<br><br>So, we may hope that Keiichi Momose will work on Orbital Era or Otomo rememberes Steve's music for Steamboy. Time will tell.
To be honest it's just my thoughts. But what are the chances that Otomo will choose Steve for his new work after really long brake (almost 15 years)?I would love for another animated score from Steve. Why is it almost impossible for him to score for Katsuhiro Otomo out of curiosity?I just saw this, EXTREMELY HAPPY!!!! he's so dope and talented apparently he's already done a few tracks cause the actor lewis tan sais he liked what he already heard.He is scoring to Mortal Kombat reboot movie, I saw that news from film music reporter, but mortal Kombat 1995 score was my favorite score.@Evenstar Original Movie Picture Score? lul. Usually it's called Motion Picture but ok.<br><br>No not always. I have a lot of scores where it is on the front of the booklet. Especially when an album with songs was released. So that the laypersons don't get confused, but still always manage not to look through, you can see on Amazon.
Mark Mancinas Score for the First - Good!<br>Trevor Rabin for the second - Fantastic Great Action Score I LOVE IT! Steve Jablonsky work too on it! The Dr. Dre Music in this too..<br><br>Lorne Balfe to the third - meeehhh buuuuhhh!!<br>======================<br><br><br>I agree about the first two scores. They're very different but equally as good. I know that some people are critical of the BB2 score (because it basically ignores the BB1 sound) but I love it. I think Rabin and Jablonsky did an amazing job.<br><br>As for Lorne' score.....I have to disagree. I think it's great. Granted, my opinion is based only on what I heard in the movie (haven't heard the entire album) but I really like what he did. Clearly it was done with love. I mean, the Bad Boys 1 score is one of the reasons why Lorne became a film composer. So the BB3 score wasn't a "rush job". He clearly put an effort to it. I'm looking forward to the entire album.Comes out this Friday :)Still hope that Katsuhiro Otomo will reunites with Steve for his new anime, even if it's almost impossible.Mark Mancinas Score for the First - Good!<br>Trevor Rabin for the second - Fantastic Great Action Score I LOVE IT! Steve Jablonsky work too on it! The Dr. Dre Music in this too..<br><br>Lorne Balfe to the third - meeehhh buuuuhhh!!!When does this come out? I can't find it anywhere online. And if it has already come out, does anyone know where it's available?
Just saw the trailer...…<br><br>Not exactly an epic movie but I'm still quite excited for Steve's music. Deepwater Horizon contained some pretty cool cues so I'm definitely in for another Berg/Jablonsky collaboration.I’m assuming the first track is the end credits sequence? Lorne confirmed the end credits are included... and they are awesome.The score is getting release by Paramount Music, in other words, digital and same day as the movie opens (31th January)Any news on if we get an album for The Rhythm Section?I wish to see you in concert in Poland it is so close to Germany and i think that you have many fans heere :)

Hi , why in the end credits of the movie , hans was not mentioned as composer and we had only klaus badelt credit ?

Anonymous2018-06-25 00:15:13
Politics. Zimmer was supposed to be doing Last Samurai, So he recommended Badelt when Bruckheimer asked him to do it. But in the end he ended up writing the main theme and the bulk of the score and KB has not worked with HZ since.

Hybrid, I was wondering if you know why Klaus and Hans are no longer friends... I guess they had a row of some sort, but what was it about? him taking over POTC?

Hybrid Soldier2014-06-12 18:40:48
Nope I think it was a 2005/06 issue, so long after POTC...

Scorefan2014-06-12 18:52:51
But what happen hybrid? which was the problema?

Hybrid Soldier2014-06-12 18:55:09
Don't know, but it wasn't just "HZ/KB", more like "KB/RCP"... lol

Oh I see.
It's unfortunate as Klaus was a great RCP guy!

Hybrid Soldier2014-06-12 21:08:33
Agreed...

His career after went terribly wrong (this is what happen when your first market is French cinema), but I still have hope... lol

Yes, let's hope he'll get to score some good movies in the future!

Ds2014-06-13 08:29:00
But now he's really one of the best and most-wanted composers in France, while in Hollywood he was just one among a lot of good composers...

@Ds, No offence, but it seems like you're saying it's better to be king of jackals than being a lion of a big pride.

I'm French... Trust me, it sucks... Big time...

Zimson2014-06-13 23:18:42
@Hybrid
Arte sometimes shows really good french films. Aside from that I don't know anything the french film industry produces, except for Asterix and Obelix maybe. However, if it sucks as hard as the German film industry I'm on your side.

Dudu2014-06-14 00:48:46
Wow...Hybrid. As a fellow Frenchman, you're a bit harsh don't you think??Movies like l'immortel, pour elle or a bout portant are far from sucking "big time" lol! okay, his career took a big shot after he left RCP, but the french movies are far from being the worst he has done!!

PS:I'll give you that, Asterix was a BIG mistake lol

Hybrid Soldier2014-06-14 00:53:03
Sorry Dudu I go to cinema around a hundred times a year, and I only see like 5 French films... lol

Well listening to that, one thought comes in my mind: Zimmer's rescue mission failed, because thats sucks...

Mike2013-08-03 22:04:49
Listening to what, exactly?

MacArthur2013-09-12 20:07:39
So basically this score is Zimmer with arrangements by Badelt

Mike2013-09-12 21:00:36
Basically, yeah. In order of importance, it seems to be:

--Hans Zimmer (who wrote most of the music properly speaking, even though others were responsible for most of its arrangements within the film)
--Klaus Badelt (who arranged the music Hans wrote and was credited as the composer due to Hans' promise to do The Last Samurai.
--Geoff Zanelli (who did a considerable number of arrangements, including the well known "He's a Pirate", based off Hans' demo theme)
--Ramin Djawadi (who also did a considerable amount of arrangements)
--All the other guys, like Nick Glennie-Smith and James Dooley, who had a few cues

Mike2013-09-12 21:05:49
Although I'm sure that Hybrid, knower of all things Pirates, can amend my list if necessary.

MacArthur2013-09-12 21:32:08
hey you posted too many times.....XD

MacArthur reply Replies: 11 || 2013-07-31 00:48:56
I Just Know that Zimmer Wrote He's A Pirate and Swords Crossed. maybe some on track 1 but not any of the other ones.

Mike2013-07-31 01:50:33
He might not have actively been involved with each track, but almost the entire Curse of the Black Pearl score is based off his themes he wrote (such as the "Day One, 4:56 AM" demo and his Jack Sparrow theme). Hence, his name is attached to everything, because every track here has Zimmer's music in some way. :)

Hybrid Soldier2013-07-31 10:21:28
No, HZ worked on many cues...

It's not exactly a "classic HZ process" here, like every of his "rescue missions"... (and by rescue I don't mean replacing Silvestri, I mean rescueing Klaus........)

For instance the famous Moonlight Serenade scene (the big Black Hawk Down rip :D) is directly a HZ cue with arrangements by Geoff.

NM2013-07-31 16:09:25
Did Hans come up with the "Jack Sparrow" theme from this score?

Hybrid Soldier2013-07-31 17:14:21
Yep, and he doesn't even consider it a "theme", more like a "riff".

He wrote a proper theme for POTC 2... :)

Jimmy Smits2013-07-31 22:01:55
I always found it interesting that Klaus Badelt got 'top credits' for this score, and NOT Hans. Do you know why?

Hybrid Soldier2013-07-31 22:08:02
2 reasons :

- He was on The Last Samurai, so not supposed to do anything else.

- When he saves the ass of an RCP colleague, he doesn't get credit (The Rock being an exception).

:)

Mike2013-07-31 23:34:35
I wonder if a special edition of the film will be released one day, a special edition in which Hans gets composer credit.

Hybrid Soldier2013-07-31 23:35:59
No way... :P

But actually who cares what's written on a cover or an End Credits ?

As long as you know the truth... ;)

Mike2013-07-31 23:42:42
Indeed. I've always credited Curse of the Black Pearl to "Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt" on iTunes anyway. I also credited Inception and Sherlock Holmes to "Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe"... :P

Anonymous2013-08-01 02:20:26
Virtually everyone knows this score is really Zimmer material, despite the official crediting otherwise. :P

MacArthur2013-08-02 00:00:38
Agreed mike Zimmer did write all of the themes Badelt put them together

Ds reply Replies: 12 || 2013-02-01 21:20:04
I just re-watch this movie and i thought: what if the studio hadn't rejected Alan Silvestri's score?? We were really lucky on this :p

Mike2013-02-01 21:32:31
lol, Good point. Did Alan Silvestri actually write any music or was he chosen then left/was fired before doing anything?

Hybrid Soldier2013-02-01 22:52:11
Apparently Silvestri recorded a cue for the Moonlight Serenade sequence. Rest was all mock-ups and anyway, whatever he did write, good or bad, there was no doubt Bruckheimer would find any lousy excuse just to get Hans on board.

Edmund Meinerts2013-02-02 14:48:05
If The Mummy Returns and Van Helsing from around the same time are anything to go by, Silvestri's score would have been fantastic! Very different, of course, but probably really entertaining.

Trent Easton Navarro2013-02-02 16:41:57
As enjoyable as Badelt?Zimmer's score is, I think Silvestri would have written a great score for this one. Like Edmund said, The Mummy Returns and Van Helsing were pretty awesome, as were his previous scores for Verbinski.

Ds2013-02-03 18:53:34
Of course Silvestri's not a bad composer, but i'm pretty sure he would never have reached the level of epicness of the 2d and 3rd movies scores!

Mike2013-02-04 01:42:52
Not that this is related to Silvestri, but Dead Man's Chest didn't really feel "epic" to me. There were new themes for Davy Jones and the Kraken, and some new motifs for Jack Sparrow, but overall the score felt like a continuation of the score for the first movie.

But yeah...At World's End was really epic. :P

Mike2013-02-04 01:51:26
Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. You didn't ask what mine was, I just gave it. Sorry about that.

billy2013-02-05 15:46:52
Is the trailer music composed by HZ or Alan Silvestri? According to the trailer credits: "Music by Alan Silvestri", but the theme in the end is used by HZ for his Pirate's scores.

Hybrid Soldier2013-02-05 16:38:54
The trailer music is a Drop Zone cue by HZ. And Silvestri's credited cause the trailer is from before he was fired !

billy2013-02-05 17:06:43
Thanks!

Rate2013-02-07 10:32:39
Am I the only one that finds it ironic the trailer cue is by zimmer and before silvestri got fired? :P

billy2013-02-07 13:16:21
Maybe after the trailer they realized that Zimmer's music is more suitable for the Pirates' universe. Better late than never!:-)

Mike reply Replies: 8 || 2013-02-01 21:58:17
Ignoring the question of whether there SHOULD be a Pirates 5, does anyone think there will be one? If so, is it likely that Hans will score it?

Macejko2013-02-01 22:16:30
I think it's almost certain that Hans will score fifth Pirates. And no, there should not be any more Pirates ;)

Cloud2013-02-02 02:20:59
There's definitely gonna be another one, although there really shouldn't. And honestly, I don't even want Hans to do another one. I think he said everything he wanted to say with the trilogy, especially in At World's End, which was a great confluence of all the themes ideas from all the movies. The fourth movie was redundant in every possible way and so was the score.

Mike2013-02-02 03:17:34
I don't think there should be a Pirates 5, either, and that is partially because I doubt Hans would want to do it. I know Hybrid said all the temp music in On Stranger Tides was the director's fault, and I'm sure that's true, but it's a safe bet, I think, that Hans is ready to be done with these movies. In fact, he even said in an interview for POTC4 how you can only do so much with a given set of themes, and that he thought they were done after the third movie, and that he didn't even think there would be a second and third film--as in, he never really planned on doing any sequels.

However, that's not to say that I'd mind a score to Pirates 5 if Hans is able to come up with a good amount of new material, rather than being forced to temp the majority of the thing.

Racket2013-02-02 03:30:00
I don`t think so.

Mike2013-02-02 03:33:21
Racket, which part were you replying to, the question of whether there will be another movie, or the question of whether Hans will compose it?

Ds2013-02-02 12:58:08
There will be a new one, Disney announced it 2 weeks ago. It's planned for 2015 if i'm right. I want Geoff Zanelli or Lorne Balfe to score it, not Zimmer anymore. I like him a lot but we need some fresh air and a composer who really WANTS to do that!

Trent Easton Navarro2013-02-02 16:37:58
"I want Geoff Zanelli or Lorne Balfe to score it, not Zimmer anymore. I like him a lot but we need some fresh air and a composer who really WANTS to do that!"

As if Zimmer really would write all of the score himself :P He'll probably get the main credit, but his minions will do all the work ;)

Mike2013-02-04 01:54:52
I want Zimmer to score it if he makes new stuff. If not Zimmer, I think Geoff Zanelli, Lorne Balfe, and whoever else has worked on these movies should collaborate using Hans' themes.

cheesy reply Replies: 9 || 2011-09-22 01:23:10
This is the most random of questions, but is the "Black Pearl" theme (Swords Crossed, To The Pirates' Cave, ect) by HZ or Klaus Badelt?

Dimensioner2011-09-22 03:49:51
I'm not sure anyone knows that--but I could be wrong. This whole score sounds uniformly the same (redundancy, anyone?). I mean, yeah, I can recognize the different themes, but I couldn't say which themes according to their styles were written by which composers.

I do know that Geoff Zanelli likes to write tribal-type music like all the cannibal stuff for Dead Man's Chest, or the Morlock Attack from Klaus Badelt's "The Time Machine". Knowing this, I suppose I could pick out the pieces written by him for this score--now that I see what they are...alas, this is no help to you, cheesy.

Hybrid Soldier2011-09-22 13:34:41
Questions for me, Pirates specialist summoned !

You must know that most of the POTC themes come from... other films !

Anyway, HZ wrote most of the themes (all the Jack Sparrow themes, the main theme etc...)

I know for sure that Klaus wrote the "Underwater March" theme (which is basically from The Road To El Dorado) and the "dark" theme of the film (heard in Fog Bound, with the pan flute "tut, tut, tiiii tut" (lol).

Blake Neely wrote the theme in the "Liz on the Pearl / Parlay" sequence. It's not on OST but was on POTC 2's (and 3's) OST.

Jim Dooley wrote (with no credit... don't ask lol) the "Tortuga" theme which came back regularly in POTC 2 (he actually ripped it from a short film he had scored a couple of years earlier, Embryo).

Dimensioner2011-09-22 14:43:19
About the Parlay track, where did you get the name for it? (Elizabeth was never referred to as Liz in the movie.) On most if not all of the bootleg scores, it is named "Parlay" and I'm fairly certain that it originated from one of the DVD menus.

For the longest time, I thought it was a theme written for Tia Dalma, as that is the track it appears in on the PotC2 OST. But then I started looking at the first one's score, and found that theme there as well.

I'm pretty sure it is not on PotC3's OST. If anywhere, it would be in "Davy Jones, the Man" found on the 2CD bootleg that recently surfaced. Perhaps, you could tell me where I might have overlooked it--or if I am even discussing the same thing you are, Hybrid.

Hybrid Soldier2011-09-25 12:45:07
Listen closely people...

The very beginning (kinda military drum) of Medallion Calls is from Black Hawk Down.

The "Bill Turner" theme (sort of), in the same track, when Sparrow is watching the hanged skeletons, is a segment from Pearl Harbor's Air Battle.

The film's main theme (He's A Pirates) shares many notes with The Rock's main theme.

The "Underwater March" theme is from Road To El Dorado.

The segment at 0:37 of "The Black Pearl" is basically an arrangement of the guitar section in "The Battle" from Gladiator, and the rest of the cue have strong similarities with The Battle as well.

HZ's dark theme starting Swords Crossed is from Crimson Tide (Mutiny, the very slow background theme). And in the same track, the Moonlight Serenade section with Liz "touring" on the skeleton Pearl is just from Black Hawk Down (Tribal War).

The theme in Skulls & Crossbones is from Drop Zone (Too Many Notes...), and the basic rythm starting "To The Pirates' Cave" is from Drop Zone as well (listen the beginning of Miami Jump).

The segment starting at 1:08 of Bootstrap's Boostraps is from Broken Arrow, reprised in El Dorado (the Pirates one is really identical to the El Dorado variation).

And about unreleased parts, the short "Tortuga" segment by Dooley is as I said from a 2001 short film he scored, Embryo (check samples on Jim's website).

The beginning of the Pirates Attack at the end of the film, kinda suspence sequence, is just identical to a Peacemaker cue (Nuclear Foult...).

And I'm probably missing some...

Savvy ? :P

No track list necessary. All you have to do is search "Curse of the Black Pearl Expanded Score" and you'll get literally like ten different variations of the score which all have been expanded by adding in music that plays on the DVD menus...Granted, you'll have to search around if you want them all, but they all contain more or less the same amount of music.

Sadly, there's no new music.

Anyone know if the cue where Elizabeth is captured and the raid on her town is available? I don't think it is on the "expanded" or soundtrack...

Does anyone know if there are any commercially unreleased tracks on composers' websites or promos that I can listen to from this? The commercial CD just is not enough :(

@ Hybrid soldier

this is similar to The Rock, which in my understand is Nick glennie smiths score, with help from zimmer and harry, but poor nick didnt get the recognition he deserves.

While we are at this topic, could you please tell us what happened that led to the kicking out of badelt from rcp, there are allot of speculations, has it something to do with that badelt didnt credit other composers such as zimmer and others for their involvement in the pirates score. Please i have been wondering about that for ages. please an answer would be great,

Well The Rock is complicated in its own way as almost all the themes Nick had originally written got rejected and replaced by HZ's ! And then it was a mess with the help of many guys on the score (HGW, Don Harper, Steven Stern, Russ Landau...) !

As for the end of KB at (ex) MV... There's not much I know... It didn't end very well between KB and some of the other MV members... Let's say it was good for everybody that he left... Especially for KB, who ended up doing very well these days... ;)

Yeah, I'm not saying KB didn't anything in there, and as I said, it clearly has a lot of him... But he acted more like a supervising composer with HZ...

He went from studio to studio to explain what was needed to Ramin Djawadi, Geoff Zanelli etc... Helped them choosing a direction, correcting what was wrong... And of course, he did several cues on his own, like the Fog Bound opening... Zimmer helped in the same way, for instance he reworked himself Jim Dooley's Commandeering The Interceptor (second part of OST's Blood Ritual).

But there was such a short amount of time, only 2 weeks to write, that it was nearly impossible for the guys in charge (meaning HZ & KB) to do a lot themselves and make sure everybody was doing good... A bit more than 100 min to write is a lot... And I'm not talking about the last minutes reworks, with stuff edited, overdub production and all... Such a mess !!!

So, to be fair, the cover would have needed Music by Hans Zimmer & Klaus Badelt... ;)

I'm really wondering if Badelt was so "off" with this project.
I think POTC is definitely a teamwork project. This is why it sometimes sounds as if each cue was from a different guy.
Zimmer had an involvement in the early stages of the writing process (themes and some arrangements), and you have Badelt trying to make nearly 2 hours of music sound as a whole, running from studio to studio, arranging some bits by himself.

Of course it sounds "zimmerish" because it's MV / RCP style of samples and arrangements, but it also has some typical "Badelt" manierisms. Honestly, the real credits in the cover should be :
Main themes : Hans Zimmer
Score supervisor : Klaus Badelt
Arrangements : The MV/RCP team

Oh and, Happy New Year ! ;)

Well it's just he had a contract to score The Last Samurai, and promised Ed Zwick & Tom Cruise he would completely focuse on their score, not moonlighting on another score... So he did Pirates "secretly"...

Of course, the joke didn't last long, and when POTC came out, Cruise came to HZ to say "Good work on POTC ;)" ! Busted !!! :)

Alright, I'm not one for stirring up controversy, but I just thought I'd ask while I was thinking about it. This is a question for you Hybrid: How much of this score is Hans Zimmer? And why is Hans Zimmer listed as the official "composer" above and Klaus Badelt as "additional music" when Badelt gets the official title in the film and on the soundtrack? Is this score really Zimmer's or did Klaus Badelt have more influence on the other two films than is listed? Thanks so much for the help and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Brad, Hans wrote almost all the main themes... He's A Pirate, Medallion Calls, The Black Pearl, One Last Shot...

I can only think of the dark theme for the Black Pearl being Klaus...

HZ did all the tunes there, chose what should be used as samples an general orchestrations... So it's basically his score...

All the additional music guys helped a lot arranging it, and let's KB was more in charge than them... His influence remains important in this score... But ironically, scores he didn't get a lot of credit for, like Mission Impossible 2 or Gladiator, were actually more his than POTC... :P

HZ didn't get credit for legal reason (The Last Samurai) so didn't put his name on it, but it's his score anyway...

And for the sequels, KB just didn't work on them at all, but got some official credits on several stuff reused from the first film...

Hybrid, I would like to get in contact with you. Can you drop me an email at garnettzack@yahoo.com
?

Hybrid, thanks for the information. But if you don't mind my asking, what were the legal reasons for keeping Zimmer's name off the score? I always was wondering about these soundtracks. So basically all of the Pirates scores are Zimmer's? I would be interested to know what kind of influence Badelt really had on the Gladiator score. Maybe you could put that in your next post in that epic Tracklist thread in the forums, Hybrid. Well, nonetheless, thanks for the info and I'll be interested to hear your further responses. Thanks.
